Who are your favorite authors and why? Cormac McCarthy: If the man killed my family, I would forgive him for having written Blood Meridian. I truly believe it to be the most important piece of writing since Ulysses (or maybe since The Sound and the Fury.) David Foster Wallace: because he was just that fucking smart, alright. Erudition, complexity, and experimentation will always catch hell from some, but posterity favors the risk takers (especially the brilliant ones)

What is your most prized possession? Either my 86' Chevy Clunker Deluxe pick-up, or my Devere 504 4x5 enlarger with drop down easel and Aristo VC cold light head (I can make prints 4' by 4' baby!)

The first section I turn to in the Chronicle is visual arts

The quickest way to my heart is north The quickest way to my bed is a straight line And in the morning, I like my eggs cooked I'll cook my own eggs thank you very much.

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm wishing Capitol City Auto Salvage was open.

When I die, I believe I will go to jail, go directly to jail. I will not pass go and I will not collect 200 dollars.
