I am surreptitious, spongeworthy, and crunchy in milk.

My Self-Summary

I am a shiny new resident of Ghent after a year and a half in Richmond. It will be missed. It's nice here, at least all four interesting blocks of it. I have a few old friends around, but new ones wouldn't suck. I could use a partner in crime. Not like Bonnie & Clyde crime, just misdemeanors. Actually, true love might be worth that final hail of bullets.

When I was a child, I believed I would fall into the sky if I looked up into it too long. I still figure better safe than sorry.

Oh, and hey - I love attention but don't wink. Say something! I'm much more likely to reply. Winks just work better in real life. Or make you look like a weirdo. Actually who really winks anymore?

What I’m doing with my life

Wouldn't we all like to really know the answer to that question?

I run around town a lot with my dog at my side. I run in races and come in 897th. Lately I've been into yoga. I eat a lot of apples.

Professionally, I'm a video editor, I make commercials and stuff. But not those Lowell "The Hammer" Stanley ads, I wish I made those trainwrecks.

I’m really good at

Bar trivia. Running long distances. Getting along with children and animals. Geek repairs. Making out.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have long girlie eyelashes. I'd like to trade them with a needy girl who happens to have the washboard abs I dropped somewhere.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

[books] Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Iain M. Banks, Robert Heinlein, Garth Ennis, Grant Morrison, Brian Wood. I reached The Dark Tower. Currently reading some Vonnegut, which I probably should have done 15 years ago.

[movies] My tastes run all over from documentaries to little independent films to Hollywood flicks that actually passed through the shit filter. You'll find me at the Naro quite often, eating cheap popcorn.

A random sampling of faves includes Seven Samurai, American Psycho, Me, You, and Everyone We Know, I Heart Huckabees, Drunken Master II, Blade Runner, Punch-Drunk Love, District 9, Idiocracy, Princess Mononoke

My favorite movie ever is Robocop. That's right. Shut up.

[musics]New Pornographers, Boards of Canada, Spoon, Stars, Elbow, LCD Soundsystem. The Zombies. In a streetfight between The Beatles and the Stones I stand with John and Paul.

[food] I'm pretty open, my new favorite has been Peruvian. I <3 Imperio Inca on 21st. Secretly I want to be Anthony Bourdain, wandering the great hidden food treasures of the globe, and getting sloshed in them.

[tv] Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, Fringe, Dexter, 30 Rock, Burn Notice (glad to see Bruce Campbell getting regular work), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Kitten mittens!), No Reservations, Venture Bros., True Blood, and most of all Mad Men. I'd drop MY panties for Don Draper.

The six things I could never do without

Running shoes, plastic zip-ties, Lucky (my dog), Jamesons, pocket leatherman, sarcasm

I spend a lot of time thinking about

how I'm going to afford having myself cryogenically frozen before I die. I'm serious about this!

On a typical Friday night I am

Looking up and wondering what's looking back.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Occasionally I get this urge to just get up and get a thousand miles away from here, taking only the dog.

You should message me if

Your name has vowels in it. You say gesundheit instead of bless you. You prefer the widescreen version.
