You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

If you would like to read about the life of a neurotic, robotic, lesbionic, chemically enhanced grad student/instructor of German at a major midwest university, all in obsessive detail, here ya go. Obsessions include: obsession, "recent media experiences," love, martial arts, my dog, my cats, occasional random drama. And oh yeah, I just turned 30, so add 'occasional existential angst' to that list as well.

My favorite music:

comments:  the Natalie Merchant years of course

the Pixies

comments:  I saw them in Nashville in '91.

R.E.M.

comments:  ...everything up to "Automatic" album... a lot of good memories for me. Their latest album isn't too bad either.

Sleater-Kinney

comments:  Carrie Brownstein=rock-n-roll goddess, go see them, you'll understand

the Butchies

comments:  current favorite, about to enter the all-time fave list... seen them 5x. They have even stayed in my house before!

My favorite movies:

Alien

comments:  scenery and creature design by freaky Swiss artist HR Giger

Star Wars

comments:  any entry in the series... my childhood obsession has evolved into adult neurosis, but you wouldn't be able to tell from looking...

Dead Poets' Society

comments:  This movie literally "changed my life" when I was 16. It still holds up as beautiful filmmaking even after many semesters of film courses..

Ed Wood

comments:  ...with Johnny Depp, Bill Murray, Martin Landau, etc. Hilarious but subtle.

Sling Blade

comments:  Beautiful music and cinematography, moving story, superb acting, actually deserved its Oscar(s). Best of all, it was filmed in my home state of Arkansas!

My favorite authors:

Douglas Coupland

comments:  the guy who wrote _Generation X_, better still are _Microserfs_ and _Shampoo Planet_. Funny, sassy, poignant, witty, all at the same time.

Insert your favorite Zen Master here.

comments:  for instance, Suzuki, _Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind_; Chadwick, _Thank you and Okay_; ask for more recommendations

Thomas Mann

comments:  _Death in Venice_ and some of his short stories are amazing. He's not an easy read, but worth it.

Franz Kafka

comments:  _The Trial_ Am I the only one who finds this stuff funny? Art imitates life as I attempt to battle German bureaucracy.
