"[He was given to] self-righteous misanthropy, annihilistic moods of despair. He had complaints about life, but never any solutions. He longed to be an artist, but balked at the necessary sacrifices. In his most private moments, he spoke of his fear of death, which he elevated to tragic heights when in fact it was mere narcissism." "When monster is loose, boards must be tight."
 My favorite diaries: |

My favorite music: |
| Genesis |
| comments: Peter Gabriel era mostly, or at least pre- "And Then There Were Three". Laugh at me if you will, but you will miss the bliss |
| Steely Dan |

| Siouxsie and the Banshees |
| comments: A big part of late adolesence |
| Tom Waits |

| A cast of millions |

My favorite movies: |
| Manhattan |
| comments: The best romantic comedy ever. The best opening scene and the best last line ever. Makes me love New York and I HATE New York. |

| Carson McCullers |
| comments: THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER just sort of sums it up. |
