I am here for Friends

About Me

Words. Words. Words. I have worked with books for almost all of my life. I like to read. I like to read a lot. I recently changed careers--stepping out of the world of the academic library into the world of multimedia production. Instead of finding books and shelving them, I'm managing the books for WaveGuide Studios, a multimedia production company in Atlanta. Now I not only manage their finances, but I'm also Project Manager and do some marketing for them. I'm just a many hats kind of gal. I try to keep this small but talented group of multimedia artists successful--it's not unlike being a DEN MOTHER to a bunch of art geeks! I like to make games of most everything I do, including love and work--I work very hard at play and play at work. ..

My Interests

"It is the individual, the oddity, the peculiarity that counts." -- Chuck Jones. I like books, all kinds of books, but I've recently gotten back into comic books: Grendel, Next Wave, Fables, Y the last man, Astonishing X-men, and anything HELLBOY. Independent music (live is the best), independent & foreign films, talking shit, talking life, sewing, art, yoga, vegetarian foods, animals, travel, scifi & fantasy, SCRABBLE, goofing off, and various other ways of forgetting that I will eventually die. I like cheese and books best.
