Bukowski, Denis Johnson, Hunter S. Thompson, all the cliches. Also
love Dashiell Hammet, and especially EA Poe...Big fan of the Tao Te
Ching and Guns Germs and Steel, as well. I read a lot of science
and non-fiction. Yes, for fun. No, I'm not a virgin.

Biil and Ted, Near Dark, just about anything by: PT Anderson,
Werner Herzog, Scorsese, Russ Meyer, Spike Jonze, Wes Anderson,
Michel Gondry, Charlie Kaufman, John Waters, Fellini, Cassavetes,

I try to eat as healthy as possible and I cook a lot of organic
poultry, veggies, high fiber stuff etc. When I deviate from that I
like Tacos, thai food, and diner breakfasts.
I try to get to art museums and galleries as much as I can, my
favorites are probably LACMA and the Norton Simon out in Pasadena.
