Salinger, pretty much most American writers who question the very nature of America, Famous Last Words, Glass Paper Beans, some comics, maybe, but what of it?

Seriously: Brokeback Mountain left me crying like a baby. Absolutely awesome. And oh God, I am looking forward to Superman Returns like no one's business. Chinatown, Out of Sight, Goodfellas, South Park, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine, that movie with the guy who did the stuff and then there was that other guy and the other stuff, and I really reallly liked Spider-man 2.

And, you know, Suede are the best band ever.

Buffy4Ever!, Lost, how fucking good was The Office??, Six Feet Under R.I.P.), Sopranos, Entourage, Arrested Development, Amazing Race, everything on FoodTV, and Veronica Mars. Ooh, I come off like a sort of HBO whore, don't I?

I am really good at lightning rounds.

Oooh, look, I blog.

People. Who has more fun than people? Oh! And people on the street. Da-da-dee-da-da-da! Oh, and potentially people who wait like, weeks before they point out critical typos in your profile. But maybe not: spelling is truly a weapon of mass destruction.
