About Me

The wicked wit--I need it desperately: it's like air to me. The people I love most and never give away make me raise one eyebrow and smirk constantly... .. Who 's Your Inner Sexy Cartoon Chick ?

You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.
"Kill! Kill!" The Muppet Personality Test

My Interests

Hanging out with the dangerously funny people (with vodka tonic in hand), artistic endeavors, my wee beasties. I'm on a mission to learn enough Italian to make myself understood to Italians who hate Americans. In Italy. .. width="425" height="350">.. .. ..>

I'd like to meet:

Elvis Costello (genius genius genius), Eddie Izzard, John Lydon, Nick Lowe, Tim Burton--I like people who are surprising and a little bit "off"-- <

Music:

Older stuff from the Cult, the Alarm, the Damned, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Jam, Sex Pistols. New stuff from Black Tie Dynasty, Burden Brothers, Roger, Radiant. Then there are the classics: David Bowie, the Cure, NoodleWater, DM, KMFDM, Ministry, Jeff Buckley, Yes, Neil Finn, Brian Setzer, Tool/Perfect Circle, Elvis Costello, the Smiths, Nick Lowe, The Rev. H. Heat, Rush, and everything the inestimably original Mr. Munden does--a bit of which you may enjoy below: .. width="425" height="350">.. .. ..>

Movies:

So I Married an Axe Murderer, To Kill a Mockingbird, Brazil, 200 Cigarettes, Time Bandits, The Dark Crystal, Dogma, Monty Python's Holy Grail, Rushmore, Sleepy Hollow, Vampire's Kiss, Shaun of the Dead, Pist--The Filth and the Fury, anything with Cary Grant in it, Eddie Izzard shows and Tim Burton stuff. Whatever it is, I'll watch it, but if it's bad, be prepared for "rude" soundbites.

Television:

I really miss the Saturday-morning underwear parties watching Pee Wee's Playhouse and sharing pop tarts.

Books:

A Prayer for Owen Meany, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Wrinkle in Time, Please Kill Me. John Irving, David Sedaris, Mark Frost...but I'm a book geek, so I'll read damn near anything. Except romance novels. Yick.

Heroes:

In grade school I worshipped my "stepdad" (the bio-mom's husband...well, one of em) b/c he would stuff an entire hamburger in his mouth just to make me laugh, attempted to teach me how to play guitar, and also would let me pick out any album I wanted in his studio. I still have all of them, all weird stuff like Gino Vanelli, Bay City Rollers, and the soundtrack to "Car Wash" labeled "PROMOTIONAL COPY ONLY." Since then I've been a little harder to impress, so just Elvis Costello, people who come to the rescue without having to be asked and those who can apologize and mean it--I've found shockingly few and far between of the latter two...

My Blog

I swear it was a kookaburra

This morning, I went to the trail at ohhh, 6:45 (got to, or I'll never actually go) and after running a couple of  miles, went on my sweaty, bedraggled way in my little 10% of Cher.  That's ...

Ode to the Laughing Man

My Thomas is gone.  I don't want to dwell on the depressing aspects of this (mainly because they're all very selfish of me), but prefer to remember the joyful and ridiculous moments he brought in...

Go Go and the Virus

NW has just finished up with "Go Go Gadget Legs", which is really just an extension of our song "Formulaic Weasels."  Sort of the same subject matter-the latter dealing with those people who are ...

Soundtrack Moments

I was having lunch with my PIC (Partner in Crime) the other day, and we began talking about how much music is associated with certain moments in life.  As in, when you can't remember the exact ye...

The Stunning Truth

My friend Christopher Lenzini just sent me this very simple sentence that blew me away.  I am stunned by the trueness of it: Never make someone a priority that makes you an option. Damn.&nbs...

Musings from Johnny Law

This is an e-mail I received from a very good friend from my wildly misspent youth in Louisiana who now happens to be a Kung Fu Lawyer in good old North Carolina.  A brilliant man,...

Musical Collaborations

Greetings from the studio.  Everything is going extremely well--we've just laid out our first song "Sausage Fest", bare-bones style (that pun is completely intended, if somewhat predictably ...

Well, friends and neighbors, it looks as though NoodleWater is going back to the studio for your listening enjoyment.  We know that our debut album "The Ballad of Mr. McKool" has since become a c...
