If art is not a medicine for a society, it is a poison

About Me

Sometimes I write. Not in the mood for it now, so this'll be short. www.jenny-o.com for more details.

My Interests

Books, movies, writing, horror, sci-fi, art trash, campy fun, other stuff I'll think of later.Oh, and monkeys. Can't forget the monkeys.

I'd like to meet:

Vincent D'Onofrio, Gene Wilder, Alejandro Jodorowsky

Music:

As good a place as any for the new Squeezebox Sam music video from A.D.D. Films:

.. width="425" height="350" ..

Movies:

Last in the theatre: "Pan's Labrynth"

Last on DVD/Video: "Beavis and Butthead Do America"

Television:

I end up watching the stupidest stuff on TV-stuff I won't admit to publicly

Books:

Currently reading: "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlen

Recently finished: "What's a Girl Gotta Do?" by Sparkle Hayter

Heroes:

Excellent song. One of my favorites. I must admit, though, I can't stand Bowie's German version.

Because some things should be passed around
