Interests

  • General

    books, island countries (Japan, Great Britain, Iceland, New Zealand), girls (and women) who wear glasses, karaoke, drums, radical humanism, chess, kite-flying, writing, astronomy, comics, movies, American sign language, guitar, travel, crackpot ideologies...

  • Music

    The late, great Versus is the best band you've likely never heard of. +/-, Devo, Pixies, Hoover, Rodan, Fugazi, Neko Case, Sleater-Kinney, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Talking Heads, Radiohead and David Bowie are in regular rotation... Less often: Jesus Lizard, Skinny Puppy, Past Lives, Queen, Velvet Underground, Hedwig and the Angry Inch. By the way, the Dead Science will kick your ass and break your heart.

  • Movies

    It really all starts and ends with Hitchcock, but I'm also down for the Coen Brothers (at least, up to The Big Lebowski...that LadyKillers flick was just horrid!), and Wes Anderson flicks as well (yay Bottle Rocket!). Give me Parker Posey, Mary Louise Parker, or Maggie Gyllenhaal, you've got yourself one happy bookworm...though Ms. Posey has been slipping of late. Particular Flicks? Secretary, Tampopo, Lost in Translation, North by Northwest, Saboteur (a Hitchcock movie co-written by Dorothy Parker? Madness!), Fargo, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko ("I'm really starting to doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!"), Memento, Waiting for Guffman, Bottle Rocket, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, Fight Club, A Woman Under the Influence...Believe it or not, the John Hughes flick Some Kind of Wonderful is one of two reasons I became a drummer. (If you ask nicely, perhaps I'll tell you the other...) As God is my witness, DO NOT see the movie version of V for Vendetta! Read the graphic novel, you slacker.

  • Television

    in moderation, please. Rick Steves' Europe is like mother's milk to me. Also the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and Sunday morning news pundit shows.

  • Books

    rock my world! Go read Irving Stone's Lust for Life right now, if you haven't. Other faves includes Our Band Could Be Your Life (Michael Azerrad), Sister Outsider (Audre Lorde), The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Kundera), Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Murakami), Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents (Octavia Butler), The Sins of Scripture (Spong), Lies My Teacher Told Me (Loewen), Guns Germs and Steel (Diamond), Invisible Man (Ellison), The European Dream (Rifkin), Watchmen (Moore/Gibbons) and V for Vendetta (Moore/Lloyd), Only Begotten Daughter (Morrow)... General authors -- Haruki Murakami, Octavia Butler, Jeanette Winterson, Banana Yoshimoto, Robert Heinlein, Ishmael Reed, Kurt Vonnegut, John A. Williams, Thomas Pynchon...ok, I'll stop there.

  • Heroes

    invariably disappoint you. My mom rocks, however.

About me:

..
MySpace Layouts
..

I was born on the exact same day the ill-fated space station Skylab was launched. (It fell to Earth a little over six years later. That pretty much sums it up.)

I grew up on the East Coast, but love the West Coast. That said, know that I am bizarrely proud of being from New Jersey, and will likely respond with a fount of useless trivia in its defense whenever it is dissed in my presence. (As they say, you can take the boy out of New Jersey, but you can't take the New Jersey out of the boy.)

I'm pretty ambivalent about this myspace thing, but considering that our food has likely been spiked with traceable nanochips recording our each and every move already, I figured, what the hell?

Who I'd like to meet:

friends of the library, late night co-conspirators, street-level rabble-rousers, the easily infatuated, intellectual kung-fu masters, private kissing workshop facilitators, bedroom rock stars, wikipedia sluts, and all fellow members of the cult of Bill Hicks. Heart-breakers, dream-makers, love-takers. Anyone who can shake me up every once in a while and remind me I'm alive -- I promise to do the same for you if need be (if you can pry the book out my hands, that is). And now, Mr. Bill Hicks...
