About Me

I've got the sky,
I've got the road.
I've got the sky...
The world is my home.
-----I am Kim and I like fish. I also like cephalopods and other marine invertebrates, shiny fishies, whales and dolphins, with the exception of the bottlenose dolphin because they're snobby. Orcas are a favorite.I squeak.I like people who do things differently and don't quite fit in with what society dictates.My good friends are possibly the most incredible people you could ever meet.I only sing in the car.But I whistle everywhere else.My favorite songs are ones you've never heard of. And a few that you have.I am going to be a marine biologist so that I can write a novel and do art on a professional level. Biology is the path to the arts. It's also the path to cleaning fish tanks, which is my own personal bit of zen.Bollywood movies are cool, even the dorky ones. Chaiyya Chaiyya is quite possibly the best music video ever made.The ocean will ever be my one true love.I spend a lot of time in my head. I still have imaginary friends. I like it that way.My heroes are Alexandra Morton and Ingrid Visser.I believe in the philosophy of the fish people. Fish people are especially weird, though not all the time. Ridiculously fun to be with. They don't necessarily have to like fish or be otherwise affiliated with marine life. Hanging around with fish long enough will probably turn you into a fish person, though.I fail at plastic wrap.Please take the time to talk to me, because your assumptions are probably wrong.I believe my world would be better if I had a dog an octopus.Nothing else is really particularly interesting.Websitepalooza!Kasatka.com - My personal website which hasn't been updated in forever because I keep telling myself I'm redesigning it.
DeviantArt - Art stuffs that gets updated on a more regular basis.
Whale Web - Since 1996 - still going! Still not done... =P
Orca Catalog - Not up because Steven's still working on a lot of back end stuff. And I'm still working on the rest of it. It's a lot of data, and only two of us.Watch this..

"Science of Sleep"

Wow, I never post in here. Anyway, I just wanted to say I saw "Science of Sleep" tonight and really enjoyed it. It was cute, funny, and the fantasy aspect of it was really nice. =) I sort of wish my w...
