About Me



Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net

I walk by this sign everyday and it never fails to make me smile. I can't get "enough" of all the "quotes".

My Interests

Hilarious signs in the city, learning how to play Danse Macabre on the piano, finally working with animals, learning spanish, shark tattoos and listening to the same songs over and over at top volume.

I'd like to meet:

Aaron Cometbus. And Captain Paul Watson, who for over 30 years has done nothing but fight illegal whaling and fishing. I think I'm in love.

Music:

My beloved ipod has 992 artists on it but currently I'm listening to - on repeat and loudly - the Germs, Richard Hell, Danzig, Stray Cats, Camper van Beethoven, Dead Kennedys, Pete Bernhard, 3 Beirut songs and a shit ton of Otis Redding.

Movies:

Anything gory and with zombies. True Romance. Amelie. East of Eden. The Goonies and a million-zillion others.

Television:

I've decided I hate it. I will, however, continue to watch all my Simpsons DVD's ad nauseam...I think I may have a problem.

Books:

Lexicon Devil: The Fast and Short Life of Darby Crash. All John Steinbeck. Neil Gaiman. David Sedaris. John Irving. Roald Dahl. Books on sharks. Books on Elvis. Music history books. Books and more books. Yes, yes, yes - I do like the books.

Heroes:

Geoff, Jimmy and Ines. Best trio a girl could have.

I spent all day yesterday dealing with my poor sick cat, Memphis. First to an animal hospital and then a little bit later on in the evening, to an emergency animal hospital. So a crappy day.Worst thin...

MCA from the Beastie Boys. It was neat, and if he had been alone, I totally would have tried to make out with him. Hah! But, alas, he was with a little girl and 2 women....He probably thought I was re...

Last night I awoke from a REALLY deep sleep by a nightmare of a car crash. My heart was racing and the sound of the crash was ringing in my ears so loudly  that I couldn't shake the feeling that ...

Famous Shark Dream
