I grew up in the east bay and moved into the City 8 years ago and am loving every minute of it. I'm kind of addicted to tv, but I absolutely abhor reality tv, preferring dramas to The Daily Show & Colbert Report to documentaries like frontline.

I'm very very much into music, however I've never wanted to make music myself. I guess I've always felt there was enough (bad) shit out there without the need for me to contribute to the pile. However, I've tried to contribute in my own way by doing live recordings at shows (kinda geeky, I know).

Just got back from 11 weeks in Southeast Asia (most of it was for work). Settling back into life in my favorite city.

Walking on my hands.

Music:I used to have this huge list of bands, but my taste has changed in the last year or two. Of course there's the usual standbys, like Electrelane, Pinback, Drive Like Jehu, but really, I've been getting way more into Electronic/Shoegaze/Ambient/Downtempo stuff lately. Some favorites of late include Bonobo, Orbital, Royksopp, Daft Punk, Boards of Canada, Tosca, Anything on Ultimae (Carbon Based Lifeforms, Aes Dana, Solar Fields, etc), Gramatik, Lemon Jelly, Air, Junior Boys, Pogo, Massive Attack, Fukkk Offf, Erlend Øye, Portishead, Tycho, Fischerspooner, Telefon Tel Aviv, Clams Casino, Blue Sky Black Death, etc.

I'm into all kinds of movies, from action blockbusters to foreign films to quirky independent ones to hard hitting documentaries. But let me just get this out of the way first:I don't like Wes Anderson films. I know I'm in the minority, but his movies just don't do anything for me. Some favorites include:The Star Wars Trilogy (original version), Pulp Fiction, Children of Men, Reservoir Dogs, Memento, The Big Lebowski, REC, Contact, Watchmen, Brick, Cloverfield, District 9, Religulous, Zombieland, John Carpenter flicks (The Thing, Prince of Darkness, etc)), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lola Rennt, LOTR, just to name a few.

TV: Game of Thrones, Hell on Wheels, American Horror Story, True Blood, Dexter, The Walking Dead, The Newsroom, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Breaking Bad, Trailer Park Boys, Party Down, Fringe, Entourage, 30 Rock, Deadwood, Battlestar Galactica, Rome, Weeds, Freaks & Geeks, The Office, Firefly, Life on Mars, Family Guy, Futurama, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Wire (The best show of all time).

Books: You Can't Win (Jack Black), The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan), Snow Crash & Cryptonomicon (Neal Stephenson), anything by Richard Dawkins or Jon Krakauer, The Stand (Stephen King), Contact (Carl Sagan), Red Dwarf, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (ignore the hype, they're really good!), Empire of the East (Fred Saberhagen), to name a few. I'm currently doing a re-reading of The Wheel of Time in anticipation for the final book.

Playing pool at my favorite mission dive bar, or sometimes just relaxing at home watching a movie or playing Xbox.

I'm something of a pothead these days.

The first thing you look at in a profile is music and you like what you see in mine.
