Dislikes: Bad Videogames. Bad Company. A Bad Buzz.

Favorite Other Stuff: TV I like The Daily Show, Secrets of the Dead, Adult Swim… I’ve been shamelessly addicted to Fear Factor reruns lately too. The last really personal CD I’ve listened to is from Snake River Conspiracy. Aram Khachaturian is my fave classical composer. I’m of the Led Zeppelin faction for greatest Rock Band. Every Susan R. Mathews novel save one. I dig feminine feminists, chicks who are empowered and comfortable in their own skin. The rare moments that I’m actually comfortable in my own skin. The term “Serial Monogamy” for various personal and contextual reasons.
