About Me

According to Micah's cartoon wisdom, I'm officially old now. I recently whimped out on a Tuesday night drive to see Wayne Hancock play in Atlanta, so that's that. Optimistic. Caretaker. Curator. Editor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamyanthe footage of the taliban's explosion of these works of art makes me cry....................Employed ............She just wants to be employed for eight hours a day. She is not interested in a career; she wants a job with a paycheck and free parking. She does not want to carry a briefcase filled with important papers to read after dinner; she does not want to return phone calls. When she gets home, she wants to kick off her shoes and waltz around her kitchen singing, "I am a piece of work."-by Beverly Rollwagen, Nodin Press

My Interests

Fonts. I like fonts and handwriting. music, literature, being in water. moving and dancing and seeing that things (places and people) are properly taken care of. Precision. Knowing when it's appropriate to be appropriate. canoeing, exploring, playing outside.

I'd like to meet:

Moses Pendleton.

Music:

Recently, workout-tempo music. There is a surprising range. outkast and david byrne and kylie minogue and some country....2many dj's didn't work out as well as i'd hoped.

Movies:

to list what's on the shelf: amadeus, babe, kurosawa's dreams, indiana jones, finding nemo, last of the mohicans, lotr, python monty, office space, wes andersons, terry gilliams, joss whedons. disney cartoons. anything smart, fun, optimistic, brilliant, deliberately stupid, hilarious, or well-done. don't let me spend my leisure hours watching anything depressing. "depressing" is not listed with "intelligent" or "challenging" in my thesaurus.

Television:

TNG. shut it. shut up. if you know what tng stands for, you probably don't have room to say anything mocking anyhow. Monk. Firefly. Poirot. Sports Night. Will Ferrel as Alex Trebek. LOST is losing me.

Books:

Right now: An Avian Miscellany and cookbooks

Heroes:

roald dahl, paul caponigro, maurice sendak, folks who make a real life (as opposed to a mere living) out of their imaginations. mom, who can do just about anything better'n you or me, and dad, who always says "go for it. why not?"
