1.I have real tombstones set up in my backyard. I have always wanted to live adjacent to a cemetery, and I am making my dream/ nightmare come true.

3. My favorite song is “Cybele’s Reverie” by Stereolab.

4. My favorite place in the world is most of Poland.

5. I wish avocados were illegal. I am proudly allergic to them.

6. I have no favorite baseball teams. They all seem like they try their best, and I hope each of them gets to achieve whatever it is they are going for this year.

7. My secret celebrity crush is [now-deceased 1930s film actress] Elsa Lanchester.

8. I wanted to buy Paramount/Viacom, but I never got it together to figure out how that’s done. How does one bid? Even if I didn’t get it, I wanted to at least try.

10. My favorite album is Ram by Paul and Linda McCartney.
