| Introduction | I am a 23 year old white male. I was born in a hospital in DC, but raised in a cream-colored house with dark red window shades in PG County MD. I went to a year of acting school in Philly after graduating high school, but dropped out after freshman year. I spent two and a half agonizing years working for an unnamed Swedish furniture retailer (IKEA) in College Park MD before I decided I'd had enough and reapplied to college. I am currently studying pop culture(ish things) at the tres hoighty-toighty hippie institute known as Hampshire College up here in sunny Amherst MA. The reason I started this blog? I am obsessed with pop culture, especially its larger historical implications and contexts. Everything from movies to gossip sites to online comics. I can and will discuss everything that pops into my head. So deal. |
| Interests | anything people create, and perhaps creating things myself. talking/writing about people (and the things they create). nerdy things like X-Men and Lost. amazing things like The Wire and Breathless. masturbatory things like Dali and porn. |
| Favorite Movies | I love movies of mad genius or pure craft. I care very little about plot usually (it's not a deal-breaker, anyway). Movies are the combination of almost all of my favorite things. The first movie to change my life was The Wizard of OZ. the second was Chinatown. the third was Chrouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. |
| Favorite Music | The Talking Heads, Modest Mouse, The Velvet Underground, Joanna Newsom |
| Favorite Books | The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Catch 22 |
Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?
Instead of saying "awww" and giving her treats for looking like an oversized kitten - like they used to - the gazelles next door have begun eying her with suspicion.
