A couple of friends had mercy on me and took me out for my aaargh 45th birthday. I can see the reaper on the hill as we speak. I got to eat crawfish and went to Fado's, a nice Irish bar here in Austin where the nice waiter gave me a free shot!
Pink Flamingos- I couldn't eat eggs for months after seeing this
Notorious
Freeway- Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland at their finest
Blade Runner-sadly the movie that defined my generation
Casablanca(some of these are obvious)
The Big Lebowski
Some quotes I like
The rain falls on the just and the unjust- Proverbs, as quoted by Charlie Brown in Peanuts- I'm a heathen nonbeliever headed straight to hell myself and Proverbs isn't even a very good book, but this thought says a lot
"Remember that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"- Nietzsche, I think,
"Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar, the cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?"- American poet Robinson Jeffers
Always put one in the brain- Johnny Casper in Miller's Crossing
"You want to help mankind? Tell funnier jokes- the glowing alien to Woody Allen in Stardust Memoires.
Underemployed since 1987, I've worked in kitchens, clean rooms and the state psychiatric hospital. I got my degree in English and journalism from Trinity University, so I talk and write real good. My interests include fishing, walking, reading, booze and mouthing off.
