My Interests

broken things

I'd like to meet:

The unique and exrtraordinary.
Redheads and lefties.
People who get it.

Music:

that smells like oil and warm circuits

Movies:

that look like paintings

Heroes:


Charles and Ray
"Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional?" -Charles Eames
Steed and Peel
debonaire + deadly
Alan Cumming
"Alan Cumming likes to say that he is never really himself. He simply acts the part of Alan Cumming. At one point during our first meeting, I wonder what the characteristics of this celebrity might be. 'Coy,' he says. 'Cheeky. Cheeky chappie, yet coy. And naughty but nice. A bit of that. Saucy but charming, I think.'"
"He has a deal of devilish charm . . . and (sexually) he's difficult to place; sometimes he's very feminine, sometimes he's very diabolical and masculine."

Jarvis Cocker
"There's something freakish about you, so you either consign yourself to the margins of society or think of it as unique."
"I don't own any casual clothes. You never know who you'll bump into."
"I only formed the band so that girls would like me, because I had glasses, bad teeth and wasn't any good at sports at school."
"I think people who think they're sexy have got problems."

Peter Saville
"An incisive cultural commentator. A design superstar. A consistently unconventional, nomadic intellectual. A renaissance man with bad work habits."
Howard Roark
"The central theme of The Fountainhead is the same of most Ayn Rand books: how individuals of creative genius, although the source of all human productivity, are misunderstood and persecuted by the great unwashed. The books usually end with the heroic genius triumphing over adversity, often by delivering an amazingly long speech, and going on to have great sex with another heroic genius of the opposite sex. As a bookworm with good grades, bad acne, and no social life to speak of, this central theme had considerable appeal for me. I ended up reading it eight times before my junior year of college." -Michael Bierut
Socrates
"Temperament: An intelligent, loyal, eager, and good-natured hunter and companion. This breed is better with older children and will be reserved around strangers. The black and tan coonhound will howl if left alone too much. The black and tan coonhound is strong-willed and loves to follow scents and should never be let off a leash in an unsafe area."
