About Me

I am a small person in a big world. I like poking the mysteries of life with a stick. Sometimes they tell me secrets. Sometimes they bite. I keep poking anyway.

My Interests

Local music, medical anomalies, sarcasm and the coming apocalypse. Adhesives and glitter. Regalia and ceremony. White noise and black magic. I also enjoy cooking and entertaining.

I'd like to meet:

People who haven't forgotten that we are still animals.

Music:

Mercy James Gang (my band), Hooray for Earth, The Luxury, Tiger Saw, The Silver Lining, The Tampoffs, Triple Thick, The Konks, Humanwine, Dresden Dolls, Type O Negative, Supergrass, Pilotdrift, Kula Shaker, Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Goldfrapp, Fischerspooner, DEVO, Rooftop Suicide Club, Muck & the Mires, Alice Cooper, Anarchy Club, Os Mutantes, Beatles, Bowie, Blondie, Blur, X, The Cramps, The Cure, Freezepop, the Frogs, blah blah blah...

Movies:

70s horror, road trip movies and creature flicks. Anything from the Something Weird catalog.

Television:

Forensic dramas, UFO and Jesus documentaries, gruesome tales of surgery and, yes, the trainwreck that is American Idol.

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk, Martin Amis, Amy & David Sedaris. Depression-era short stories. Vintage cookbooks and sci-fi.

Heroes:

That dude that chopped his own arm off with a pocketknife to free himself from a boulder.

My Blog

is it safe to come out now?

Not much to say, but I haven't posted anything here for a long time and figured I should probably let people know I'm still alive. As is my custom, I spent the latter half of the winter hibernating. I...

STUFF

Sucked back in to the vortex

Product Endorsement: Precious Intoxication

It's not often I fall in love, but when I do, I fall hard. Hence my starry-eyed adoration of Little Penguin mini cabernet, the ultimate beverage for part-time couch-dwelling alcoholics with a penchant...
