Paragraphs are hard; lists are easy. In that spirit, a few isolated facts about me:

I talk to myself in my car (when I'm not singing along with the radio);

I lived in Russia, New York, and Austin before coming to LA;

I speak Russian. I also speak Spanish. I've stopped speaking Texan, but 'y'all' is a useful 2nd person plural pronoun.

Rod Serling was a genius;

Magical realism is hard to digest;

I have a terrible memory;

Twitter is not helpful;

I have mixed emotions about the movie 'Borat' and the song 'Upgrade U;'

Sometimes the simple things trip me up, but the abstract things come to me easily.

If you can laugh at yourself and are aware of your own quirks, then I think we'd get off to a good start. We all have our own particular flavor of weird, so here's mine: nerdy, funny, somewhat voluble, quick to laugh, opinionated and open to debate, curious about the world and how it works.

What's yours?
