Fast facts
- At the movies I like to see: Blood, death, destruction, car chases and tremendous explosions or expensive costumes.
- Last movie seen: Eastern Promises. Viggo Mortensen knife-fighting nekkid in a Russian Steambath. WOO!
- Music I listen to: Tom Waits, Nick Cave, David Bowie, Rufus Wainwright, whatever strikes me and is suitably depressing and/or baroque. Bach qualifies, but mainly the fugues.
- Best album right now: Henry's Dream
- Favorite author: Greene, Tolkien, Lewis, Murdoch, Byatt, Gaiman, Borges, Eco, Poe, etc. etc.
- Last book read: Kavalier & Clay, by Michael Chabon (still reading, actually)
- Best game right now Russian Roulette with a 9mm
- Software I use: Cashmere panties
- Hardware I use: Mac
- If I won 1 million dollars, I would: Retire to a remote chalet in the French Alps and become an evil mastermind.
- If I were a super hero I would: Retire to a remote chalet in the French Alps and become a super-evil mastermind. With lasers and dobermans, or perhaps lasers mounted on dobermans.
- I wish I could: That's like admitting you have a defect, isn't it? I can do ANYTHING, bitches.
- Favorite travel destination: Venezuelan bat caves.
- On my vacation I..: Hunted inhuman troglodytes in the Venezuelan bat caves armed only with a pair of slightly used nunchuks.
- Favorite sports team: Any bloodsport, especially involving toreadors in tight pants.
- I'm passionate about: Money. Lots and lots of it. Oh, yeah, and world peace. What?
- Food I like: Anything made for me by my boy, Tony Bourdain. Sigh. A girl can dream, right?
- I don't like: Lies. Lies are horrible sins that make the Baby Jesus cry. And guys who leave the toilet seat up. What's with that, huh? Like it's so hard to put down, y'all.
