I am conversational, friendly, and sometimes hilarious.

My Self-Summary

My name is Alex.

I like pretentious beer and hard rock. I love food and occasionally even like to cook, though I don't know many recipes; I have a tiny kitchen which only with great effort accommodates something more complicated than spaghetti. I really enjoy a good conversation. I keep up with what's going on -- basically through Washington osmosis -- but I try to have a sense of humor about politics and all that other important stuff. I'm a movie buff. I love baseball. I speak Russian.

I'm a good kisser, and I won't get any more explicit than that. (But you can use your imagination all you'd like.)

I like a woman with a good smile, a good sense of humor, and a good sense of herself: honesty is crucial, and so is trust. Being nice is important too.

What I’m doing with my life

Till recently, I worked at a newspaper; now I'm working in political strategy. In my spare time, I blog about pop culture and sports -- especially baseball; I'm a huge Atlanta Braves fan -- read a lot, hang out a lot, and wish there were better movies out.

I’m really good at

I'm good with words. I think I'm a good writer and conversationalist. I make a lot of jokes; some are funny, I think. I sometimes perform improv comedy.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have long eyelashes, though you have to be kind of close to see them. Otherwise, my light blue-grey eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

(A) Favorite authors: Philip K. Dick, Nikolai Gogol, Isaac Babel, Patrick O'Brian, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mikhail Bulgakov, Saul Bellow, Flannery O'Connor, William Trevor

(B) Favorite movies: Wesley Snipes, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Humphrey Bogart; Sliding Doors, The Matchmaker, Annie Hall; Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control, and everything by Errol Morris; Braveheart, the Star Wars trilogy, the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Lord of the Rings.

(C) Favorite music: 1970's New York punk and new wave (Television, Ramones, etc.), P-Funk, outlaw country (Billy Joe Shaver, Jason & the Scorchers), Dirty South rap (OutKast), power pop (Sloan), tuneful metal (Cynic), and klezmer (Klezmatics).

(D) Favorite food: Meat, rice, bread, Coke, chips; Chinese food, Turkish food, Lebanese food, pizza, burgers, steak

The six things I could never do without

Well, the stuff I already listed is hard to live without, and I'm sure I'd never want to live in a world where I couldn't listen to loud music or watch movies with explosions.

Other than that, just the usual, really: family, friends, sustenance, and a roof.

That's five. Maybe you'll be the sixth.

On a typical Friday night I am

Watching a movie with friends or otherwise hanging out with the guys.
