Hmm . . . today I'll be liking. . . The Science of Sleep, The Man Who Wasn't There, Wings of Desire, The Double Life of Veronique and Groundhog Day

I'm a music lover. The basics = Dylan, Velvet Underground, Waitts, Pixies, Radiohead, etc. Current/ongoing infatuations include: Gillian Welch, Stina Nordenstam, My Morning Jacket, Blonde Redhead, Neutral Milk Hotel, Gorky's Ztgotic Mynci, Arcade Fire, Yo La Tengo, Death Cab for Cutie, Breeders, etc. I also keep myself immersed in American roots (picking, fiddling, frailing, foot stomping, etc.), reggae, and the rest of the music world that we all love and know.

Cowboy Beebop, Twin Peaks, the original season of Ren & Stimpy, Six Feet Under, ATHF, Frasier, etc . . . just got cable for teh first time in 4 years. I rate it as entertaining, but not worth the money.

I'm likely to:

- Sing with dive bar jukeboxes
- Be ten minutes late
- Ride a bicycle instead of taking a train
- Eat myself into a coma
- Wakeup with a cat on my feet
- Start writing at 2:00 in the morning
- Be enthusiastic about the mundane
- Inconvenience myself for a good time

I want to meet tireless dreamers. People who keep it together, who sleep naked, who look you in the eye on the train. Foot tappers. Juke box investors. Slaves to the written word. Drinkers, artists, enthusiasts, wishmakers. Sincere, social human beings.
