About Me

I'm a menace on wheels. maybe the worst driver west of western and wilshire. i've hit pedestrians, chain-link fences, cones, 18-wheelers, buildings, and probably accidentally bumped your car trying to parallel park. i failed my drivers test the first time i took it because i almost sideswiped a bus.after film school, i moved to london to get awayfrom having to drive. and other things. when i eventually moved back home to la, i realized all that time on public transport hadn't gestated my motoring skills, so a few years later i moved to paris. my french turned out to be worse than my driving.besides my penchant for vehiclular bloodlust, i get abnormally excited about the beginnings of projects, take-offs in giant jets, shooting people (with a camera), shooting sapporo cans (with a bb gun- a recently acquired pastime), etymology, split-brain experiments from the mid 1800s, and inventing interesting hairdos in a bubblebath.

My Interests

polaroid, banter, mad science. im ensorcelled by excessively tall people and love standing next to them whenever there is an excuse to.

I'd like to meet:

a french bulldog with a top hat, red stilettos, and a magic wand who could make la and ny meet somewhere in the middle...and not be chicago.
