Television
I like my tv like I like the NY TImes - only on Sundays
Books
High Fidelity, Cider House Rules, Perks of being a Wallflower, the Stranger, Portnoy's Complant, Bukowski's prose (rather than his [mostly] crappy poetry), Franny and Zooey (although I really only liked Franny), Survivor, Porno (Irvine Welsh), Less than Zero. I like the Allen Ginsberg Anthology, or at least did when I was in high school, which was the last time I picked it up. I figure it's gotta be good since "Howl" is the most famous thing ever.
About me: I'm pretty much a jerk. I don't drink enough water. I like quoting movies a lot. I also enjoy watching people get made fun of and hurt (physically). I am a huge fan of synthetic heat like radiators and car heaters. I go to a zillion shows. I hate indecisiveness although I am very indecisive. I like going to Europe in March it seems, although if I had my way it would be May. I have a lot of nicknames. I only like talking about myself spontaneously. I don't think I am handling the pressure that comes with the demand for contrived wittiness very well. I like starting sentences with I.
Oh, and I like dogs a lot too.
