Books with facts I can repeat to others in order to appear smarter than I am. The Passion, The Autograph Man, The Frog King. In fact, many books starting with "The" are fabulous. The Eyre Affair. The Collected Poems of William Carlos Williams. The Wasteland. The Things They Carried. Non "The" books I love include: Middlesex, Motherless Brooklyn, Skinny Legs and All, East of Eden; Kissing in Manhattan, Absurdistan & Redneck Manifesto. After that I like poets only other poets read. And 1st drafts by my homepeople. I have very talented friends.

Twin Peaks, Family Guy, the Young Ones, Ninja Warrior on G4, Man vs. Wild, & most train wreck style shows (Flavor of Love, et al.) Apparently I like almost any show where people with some supposed talent face off against others, under much duress (including Project Runway, Top Chef, The White Rapper Show, and the like.)

About Me:
I think in fits and spasms. My pop-culture analysis can beat up your cultural criticism. I wear red lipstick, eat red meat and you'll see red when I start talking native Brooklynese. I am never, ever entirely still. I cook; I clean up; I abhor insects and stupidity. I'm all up in your grill. My superpowers include cracking people up on stoops and being inflammable. I'm infuriating, in that fun kind of way. When I was very little my grandfather called me "the absentminded professor"--it probably still applies. I really really love my friends, far and wide as they're dispersed. My dog is ridiculous, hilarious, and named "Special." And, finally, I don't think less is more - in fact, I want more 'more' and then some, and then some motherfucking more.

doth fly, although you the flyest: intellect that
makes meth look like molasses leaving plastic
masses in metaphorical caskets. You are funny
as well, and we are very glad you were born.
Bona fortuna! Shalom! Recognize!
may disappear every now and then into my
secret seemy underworld, but darling i
will always keep you in the loop of my
romantic dalliances. ps- i am wriyting
from gay paris right now!!!!
You, who would like to break into
giggles with Jess from a shared glance
on inverted sofa covers in front of the TV--
You, who would like to stay up till 5 am
with Jess watching black-and-white
game shows and overdue NetFlix (don't
ask how, just trust me, they're overdue).
--But, alas, there is only one Jabs and
it's my turn to have her almost entirely
to myself for at least a few more months.
(From what I hear, she's looking for a
place to move, so if you need a
connection or anything, I can hook you
up.)
-------------------------------------------------- ----
Thank you for submitting your Friendster
Testimonial for Jabs. I appreciate the
sincerity with which you praise my
personality and appreciate my friendship.
[_] Yes, Rabs, I feel the same way
about you and will miss you dearly when
I am on fellowship in Budapest.
[_] I'm flattered, but your testimonial is
too long.
[_] It's 4 am; go to bed.
