Demography Now!

Me: hee :-) you've been reading my blog :-)
Kyle: Yes, I have. :) It comes across as more intellectual than playful.
Me: snobbily intellectual? :-)
Kyle: well, kinda, yeah. :)
Me: well, I guess that'd fit :-)
***

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I am male.
I am gay.
I drive a Volkswagen GTI.
I am nearly 30.
I am a writer/graphic designer/bon vivant.
I support local community radio.
I listen to KCRW, and I stream it over the web.
I supported John Kerry.
I live with a cat that gets what he wants.
I don't do clubs and bars.
I don't get into sports.
I don't play video games.
I live far away from Detroit, where I grew up.
I've lived in Santa Cruz near the beach and in Brooklyn, where I rode the L train to work at Rockefeller Center.
I think Jim Lehrer's the shit.
I love thunderstorms.
I think Michener's an easy read.
I could sing most of the parts on the Beach Boy's SMiLE, years before the official album was released.
I love foreign films and documentaries.
I make music that I like to describe with words like "pastiche," "motif," and "collage."
I can't describe my occupation without resisiting a bevy of slashes, or "strokes" as they'd say in Europe.
I would snog Anderson Cooper (see previous entry) before I'd snog Ashton Kutcher.
I'd use a Mac if I could afford to replace all my software in one fell swoop.
I can't use a phrase like "one fell swoop" without wondering who the hell came up with a phrase like that and if anyone's ever seen a "fell swoop."
I've visited the Netherlands, and moreover, visited Utrecht.
I've been stranded in the desert in Israel and alone on a rowboat in the middle of a Michigan lake during a violent storm.
I have never broken a bone in my life.
I was a contestant on Win Ben Stein's Money. No, I didn't.
I was raised, by an large, an only child of a single, working parent.
I adore Die Prinzen, and I don't speak German.
I've never seen Survivor and rue the day Fox canceled Action.
I get Dennis Miller's jokes. All of them.
I will weep when George Carlin dies.
I have maintained for years that Johnny Depp is the best actor of his generation.
I think the voice of my generation is white noise.
I love escargot.
I can only hope when I'm 40 to look a fraction as good as David Bowie does now.
I don't find stupidity congenial, nor do I find goofy irreverence and slapstick stupid.
I know who Louie Malle was, who he was married to, and who in New York he was friends with.
I love both Har Mar Superstar and Von Von Von.
I can tell you the composer and the original film for which a movie trailer's temporary score was originally written.
I have an iPod, and Paul Simon and the Polyphonic Spree and Public Enemy are on it.

I am an intellectual snob, and this is my weblog.
