I'm a science writer. It really doesn't matter, but I do have a "type".

At the risk of sounding pretentious, I'll go with "trying to find out as much as I can about the universe."

Also, developing expensive tastes, trying to find a cosmic balance between my inner nerd and inner bro, becoming a better skier, going to grad school.

Other words to live by:
"Live to eat", not "eat to live"
Take the scenic route.

Running - my beer mile personal best is 6:40, if that's any indication
making ravioli - butternut squash
speaking in a Kiwi accent - the best of several I can do

I'm vaguely ethnic.

These lists are meant to be indicative, not exhaustive:
Infinite Jest, The Sirens of Titan, The Basil and Josephine Stories, Foucault's Pendulum, White Noise. Lots of non-fiction, notably, The Genome War. Currently I'm reading Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino, and it is changing my life.

The Life Aquatic, Romeo+Juliet, The Dark Knight, Lord of the Rings, The Goonies, Amadeus, The Thin Red Line, Inglorious Basterds, Star Wars. I will probably never tire of American Pie, and subsequently, Not Another Teen Movie. I fucking love treasure hunt and heist movies.

I am also a fan of auteurs: Wes Anderson, Richard Linklater, Federico Fellini, even Woody Allen

TV better be funny, or mindblowingly good. So first and foremost I like Arrested Development, but also: Archer, Wilfred, Futurama, Battlestar Galactica. Funny women? Love 30 Rock and Girls. Game of Thrones.

I think I like almost all foods. Ones I really love: pad thai, chicken salad sandwiches, duck confit, cheeseburgers, and scotch. Ones I really don't: grits, cold soup, beets.

A pillow, The Onion (including the crossword), peanut butter, bread, running shorts, a bike.

Travel, eating and cooking, cosmology, the Packers

drinking a beer and/or whiskey

Grocery stores might as well be my "happy place." I also try to be GGG.
