Harvard dropout, frustrated writer and professional poker player, and not yet elected Pope. With all those screw-ups it's amazing I manage to get up each day, but thanks to the transcendental promise of booze, Downton Abbey, Warren Zevon, and slow-cooked brisket, I persevere and soldier on.

My majestic bearing, my prepossessing demeanor. my steely and authoritative gaze, the resplendency of my comportment, or the fact that I'm drooling on myself a little.

I like the same cool things as everyone else, what's the point of listing? Who hates Sam Cooke, Pulp Fiction, or Breaking Bad?

I will only add The Brothers Bloom by Rian Johnson, best romantic movie most people haven't seen.

I'll list my favorite art that should exist: crypto-artistry. Otis Redding covering He Stopped Loving Her Today ; John Fogerty and Grace Slick singing Baby, It's Cold Outside; Tom Selleck in Raiders of the Lost Ark; Frank Sinatra doing Moondance; an awesome video for Rakim's Guess Who's Back that I made up; a remake of Buckaroo Banzai with Nathan Fillion in the titular role and Joel McHale as Perfect Tommy

Playing trivia, drinking the work week away, cooking the meal I've been planning all week. Wishing it was Sunday so I could watch Downton Abbey and/or Walking Dead.

I've paid money to see Barry Manilow and don't regret it. I've lived in many cities and prefer Minneapolis.

I do not support blowing up planets.

You enjoy pointless banter. You enjoy pointful banter. You like watching absurd movies and you need someone to bring popcorn. You need a drinking partner or a trivia ringer. You think you're smarter than me.
