About Me

lagusta.wordpress.com.... lagustasluscious.com...... lagusta.com......mario savio said it best: There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even tacitly take part, and you've got to put your bodies on the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.

My Interests

"connectivity and statements of identity on places such as MySpace have themselves become values. it is a concern when self-expression becomes more important than social action." - from an article in utne reader.*** the only things i care about in this world are: carbon neutrality, wild fermented foods, and kissing.

I'd like to meet:

johnnie walker blue. farmers. postpostmodernists. darkly witty people with an NYC jaded Jewish sensibility who get my own darkly witty NYC jaded Jewish sensibilities.

Music:

the blow and le tigre and whispertown 2000 are about all i can stand to listen to these days. mirah and cat power and patti smith and the faint and norfolk and western and m. ward and gillian welch sometimes make appearances too.

Movies:

antonia's line (t's a joyous, multi-generational celebration of simple pleasures and enduring passions!) small change (truffaut!), and loose change (everything you believe about sept 11 is wrong!). and THIS: also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDBJ2ktSZpI

Television:

kill

Books:

vintage cookbook porn, ruth ozeki, margaret atwood, adrienne rich, mary daly, carol adams, virginia woolf, toni morrison, anne sexton, katherine mackinnon, katherine mansfield, m.f.k. fischer. i don't like men who write.

Heroes:

me and you, baby. especially me. not so much you.also: women from the 1970s who make paintings with menstrual blood.
