In no particular order: Vonnegut, Mogwai, Radiohead, Robert Rodriguez, Douglas Adams, Greg Saunier, Jason Lytle, Philip K Dick, Asimov, Orson Scott Card (if I can forgive his bizarrely illogical right leanings), the people who make "Top Gear" (not necessarily just the hosts), Duane Sorenson, ok that's enough for now...

I'm not that reclusive, just busy. I do spend lots of time out and about, getting coffee and having cocktails and going to shows and such. Meat popsicle would be nice (as well as "negative, I am a meat popsicle"), but I'm just lazy... Comment...
