Smart, sarcastic, self-deprecating, sardonic, mildly obsessive & intensely driven. I am something of a media junkie, and posess way too many books, records, CDs, Comix, Movies and artwork, but I can't help myself. Better media than addiction than drug addiction.

Passionate about music (I used to play bass in a band called Skin Yard from Seattle). I own a now more-or-less defunct record label called C/Z records, and also own and run www.RocknRollDating.com
