About Me
|
I actually live in Toronto, but HiFive won't let me enter Toronto as my city b/c it would not accept my postal code. Anyway, I use mostly facebook, but I decided to build a HiFive profile for those who want to get to know me over the Internet, without compromising my anonymity. It's hard, but I think I can pull it off.

Favorite Movies
My fav movies change constantly, but I generally enjoy most movies starring Kevin Spacey or John Cusack, as well as movies by Kusturica, Almodovar, Truffaut, Oliver Stone. I also like dark action movies, like Ronin, which remains one of my favourites. I'm a sucker for non (and sometimes sub) standard, non-Hollywood movies, especially the artsy, low budget movies coming out of Europe. This is one of the reasons that I go to the TIFF yearly. Also, nostalgia: The Party, The Neverending Story

Favorite TV Shows
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Family Guy, SouthPark, Mad Men, the riches

Favorite Books
I no longer read books for entertainment - live theatre & movies have replaced them. Most of the books I read these days are non-fiction, and there are hardly any favourites. Most of what I read is spit back in my blogs, at http://inbonobo.com
