I'm serious about lots of issues, but there are times I can't stop laughing. I really enjoy the finer things, but the best work I’ve ever done was pure class struggle. I know a lot, but I'm sure you could teach me a few things.

I ask follow-up questions. I like people, food, film and music from all over the world. I don’t like yippy dogs. I have an amazingly cute 5 year old boy (part-time). He’s made me a better person.

I’m Left, not liberal. I have strong opinions; getting challenged is great. So is femininity mixed with strength. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs, but I don't need help overcoming inhibitions. I try to live by certain ideals and fail more often than I'd like--meat is f’in delicious!

I don't talk in staccato lists…

I'm a snob about movies--really like the foreign, indie, and classic stuff. Did you see Beasts of the Southern Wild?! I'm well-traveled and although being a dad has temporarily stopped the int'l jaunts, I've still managed to do some cool National Parks trips. I'm originally from Philadelphia; sarcasm plays a role in my banter. I'm not on Facebook.

Sense of humor and fun are not optional! If I fall for you, you’ll be able to get me to do things that I wouldn't consider for anyone else. Andale Cupid!

Working, parenting, trying to have fun

one thing in the kitchen: challah french toast
a couple other things too

Height and smile

I'm not reading a lot of books these days, but I know if I say Murakami people will think it's cool. I check the NYT and al-Jazeera for news. And Stewart/Colbert.

I like Lila Downs and Led Zeppelin, Mos Def and Martha Wainwright.

I used to think all tv was stupid (well, not Seinfeld). Then I was introduced to The Wire, Mad Men, Shameless, Breaking Bad. Some serious writing talent went to cable!

Snobby movie favorites: M, The Bicycle Thief, The White Balloon, Wind Journeys, the Apu trilogy, Matewan, Raising Arizona, Cocaine Cowboys II, Borat, and scores more.

I think paella may be the world's best dish. Sugar in all forms is my vice.

at home with my boy or doing something I found in the East Bay Express or SFBG

My family is part of the global banking conspiracy based in Zurich. Working for money is just an elaborate cover.
