About Me

one day i had a job that i didn't like. then i got mad and quit. then i went to boston for five days. then i came back and had no job for a long time. i painted. then i ran out of money and started telemarketing like all good english speaking montrealers do. eventually, that stopped. then i went to england, and new york, and new jersey, and boston, and vancouver and i painted and drew and started making a quilt... i'm still working on the quilt. but now i also have a job making jewellery.

My Interests

music. painting. pictures. sewing paper together on the sewing machine. petting cats that don't scratch me. not waking up to the dog barking or a hangover.

I'd like to meet:

i'd like to meet nixie, that guy we met on the street corner in boston. do you know him? ...actually, after a year, i met him. now i want to find a guy i met in a bar about 6 or 7 years ago, he was drawing. his name is ad'm dibiaso(?). do you know him? ...found him too. can't think of anyone else.

Music:

punk rock psychobilly rockabilly, L7, Johnny Cash, Misfits, Nekromantix, Bloodshot Bill, the Forgotten, Jurassic 5, billy idol, whatever.

Movies:

all this listing is pointless. i like good movies. sometimes i even like the bad ones.

Books:

i love Douglas Coupland. i met Douglas Coupland. i giggled like an idiot. i also like books that are mostly drawings.

Heroes:

Doug Copeland is probably as close as i come to having a hero.
