art isn't easy...

About Me

"I was born like this, I had no choice... I was born with the gift of a golden voice..."
freelance artist through and through, I'm incapable of following directions and always go the long way - everywhere.
And I never end up where I thought I'd be.

My Interests

art, music, writing - creating and appreciating... all things beautiful, especially where you least expect them... Splenda... not having a real job... political incorrectness... sarcasm... vulgarity... old movies... Betsey Johnson bags and shades... learning to cook... spending money I shouldn't... my BED... office supplies (although I have no real office)... home remedies for manic depression... the karma that kicks far more ass than I ever could... and a recent fascination with NPR...

I'd like to meet:

artists, musicians, eccentrics...
Gene Wilder, Peter Sellers, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Zach Braff and Jello Biafra... Missy Elliot, because I feel like we could pick up guys together (huh?)... and Katherine Moennig...

Music:

Leonard Cohen and PJ Harvey and Goldfrapp and Rilo Kiley and Dead Milkmen and Slowmo Erotic and Patti Smith and NIN and Carly Simon and Dead Kennedys and Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland and so many mo'...

Movies:

Happy Accidents, Stranger than Fiction, Guys and Dolls... Someday I will have a house built entirely of dvds... We've prolly already got enough for the kitchen and dining room.

Television:

Deadwood and Buffy do battle as we anxiously await the return of Nip/Tuck... Ace of Cakes, Grey's Anatomy, reruns or marathons of anything...

Books:

Nice Girls Don't Get Rich... The Artist's Way... Middlesex... and an endless stack of magazines, particularly Zink! and BUST.

Heroes:

anyone who lives an uncensored life all day, every day, in any company... or continues creation despite lack of fiscal and emotional support... women who sing the fuck out of their own songs, even when it's not pretty... ESPECIALLY when it's not pretty... Jim Henson, Frida Kahlo, Scarlett O'Hara, Cyndi Lauper... I wouldn't mind her career... ... people who create their own niche... my 90-something Grandma is punk as fuck, and taught me spelling and grammar, as well as how to play poker, make a Manhattan, and thumb my nose at right-wing political views... AND, let's face it, Joe for being strong enough to be my man - the dirtiest job of them all...

My Blog

the resurrection of serial television...

I've had "Pushing Daisies" set to record for weeks.  I've got a total hard-on for the star, Lee Pace, and would watch his do just about anything.  But the show certainly did not disappoint. ...

I fucking HATE this computer...

I just wrote a brilliant, long, witty blog on why I worry about Marilyn Manson. And Joe's fucking laptop deleted it. I fucking hate this computer - now we've got a rant. I feel like crying.  I th...

I guess I wasn’t done....

I should totally post my emo article here.  I feel like it's exceptional.  That could, of course, be the smoke talking. I used the word "ubiquitous."  I don't think I have for years.&nb...

pot smoking is not conducive to writing...

It just isn't. I just typed out "sandles" instead of "sandals."  Um, what?  Perfect spelling is my effing superpower, folks. I just wrote two articles about the emo scene - from hairstyles t...

Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd"... I should be happy, but instead I cry...

Like any good supposed-former-goth-teeny-bopper, I would fancy myself a Tim Burton fan.  I've never been more attracted to Johnny Depp than when he's Scissorhand-ed, and I felt like Helena Bonham...

Marilyn Manson is doin' it to the teenybopper from THIRTEEN?

I'm sorry, what rock have I been living under? Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson?  What is the world coming to? I'm writing this on Joe's laptop because the plug on mine has gone kaput.  I...

Three days before my period is a shitty time for the love of my life to be called out of the country for two weeks.I wanna punch Western Digital in the face today.I'm both horrified and thrilled that ...

born into this... I had no choice...

I just caught the Bukowski doc again. I long to be a withered, scarred old writer... chainsmoking and full of angst... wizened by a reality to harsh for such a sensitive soul.I feel as though I'm clo...

everyday we want it just a little bit more...

I bought the Sex Pistols' Filth and the Fury today. On VHS. At Pic n' Save. For $.50. Is that bizarre or what? I've never seen it before.I guess you can put a price on punk rock.I oughtta know. ...

ants in my pants... or a handful of thoughts...

My hair is longer than it has been in decades, and I'm ready to either chop it all off or dye it blue... or fuschia... Which seems simple enough, as my medicine cabinet is like the Manic Panic showroo...
