abfab – Absolutely Fabulous, a wonderful comedy show from the BBC, created by Jennifer Saunders. It’s all about decandance, excess, and lots and lots of vodka.
bartending – Actually, this isn’t accurate anymore, but there was a time when I was an aspiring bartender. Now I’m just an aspiring drunkard.
caffeine – The best legal drug on the market.
cinematography – Hey, I’m a filmmaker. Self-explanatory.
coupling – Brilliant Britcom. The NBC version sucked balls.
david sedaris – Wry humorist often featured on NPR.
eddie izzard – Hilarious British comedian favored by my friend Cherie.
final cut pro – The Mac-based NLE that I use to edit my movie masterpieces.
golden apple – The best diner in the world. Located just down the street from my house at the corner of Wellington/Southport/Lincoln. Featured on a “This American Life” episode.

humor – Teh Funnay
indie – Teh Inday
itunes – This is what I use to play my musics. And to put them on my ipods.
jocking the bitches – There’s a story to this. For some reason a while ago, was having a hard time adding this to her “interests” list, so I tried to add it. It’s a reference from an Eazy-E song.
kevin spacey – He is Kaiser Soze.
liz phair – I want a rock and roll girlfriend just like her.
macintosh powerbooks – I don’t have a Powerbook right now, but I loves them.
mullets – They scare me, but amuse me at the same time. Business up front, party in the back. Kentucky Waterfall in the house!

swing dancing – It’s how I met most of you jackasses.
the onion – Journalism at its finest.
theatre – If it wasn’t for theatre, I wouldn’t have gotten into moviemaking.
tom waits – My stepfather introduced me to the music of Tom Waits. When I was growing up, I didn’t appreciate it. But now I see that the man is one of the most insightful and emotionally powerful songwriters today.
waiting for guffman – One of the best mock-docs ever made. “I hate you, and your ass face!”
wrigley field – this is my home away from home. It is my happy place. I’ve been a Cubs fan my whole life, and Wrigley fills me with such a feeling of nostalgia and history…love and disappointment…Old Style and Hebrew National.
