About Me

It's hard to remember that we're alive for the first time. It's hard to remember that we're alive for the last time. Its hard to remember to live before you die, it's such a short time. ~Modest Mouse

[adjective]:

Banshee-like

'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

I like Cindy Sherman. I like that she took pictures of herself. That probably means I'm self centered.
Lots of people call this a feminist peice of a woman who was just raped. Cindy says she was trying to capture the image of a club kid waking up the next afternoon. You decide. !

My Interests

Something about this crow always makes me laugh. That fucker, with those crazy boots. He's up to something, damned if I know what, but I suspect that if I ever found out I'd have discovered the meaning of it all.



I'd like to meet:

I would NOT like to meet your shitty band. So don't friend request me. I would NOT like to meet people who feel the need to post naked pictures of themselves on myspace. So don't friend request me. I would NOT like to meet anyone who has nothing in common with me and pm's me to let me know I'm hot. I'm hot and I'm smart, so I won't fall for your crap. So don't friend request me.

Music:

Did you ever notice how when people describe themselves they always say I like music. Everyone likes music, no one ever says they don't like music. And most people say 'all kinds' when you ask what type.

Movies:

Some directors I like:
Almodovar, John Waters, Sam Peckinpah, Otto Preminger, George Romero, Stanley Kubrick, John Carpenter, Wes Anderson

Some movies I like:
A Clockwork Orange, The Big Lebowski, Welcome to the Dollhouse, American Movie, Royal Tennenbaums, Little Miss Sunshine, Brick.

Television:

Project Runway

Books:

So, I guess I like certain writers as oppossed to certain books. In my little literary family Shirley Jackson could be my sweet but kinda scary gramma, and Sylvia Plath would be my hysterical mother. And I'd gladly claim Nikki Giovanni, Lucille Clifton, and Annie Ernaux my wise worldy aunties. But I guess with all these woman in my family I'd need some men or we would die off quickly. So lets say Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh are my crazy pill popping uncles. Oh, and Kurt Vonnegut and Dave Sedaris would be in there somewhere. And the black sheep that no one talks about could be Richard Stark (yes, I know he's really Donald Westlake, but I only like the Parker novels)

Heroes:

Tom, for spending his worktime to do this-
Bears that can drive, especially pandas
Funny Videos

Too many choices can be a bad thing sometimes

For Mothers Day I had asked Eric to finance the purchase of this piece of art: So I was surprised when, yesterday morning, he told me I was getting an additional MD present. I was completely and utte...

Stealing from the dead?

The creepiest thing about my house isn't being completely surrunded by woods. It's not even the fact that we can't see any of of neighbors houses from our house ( and that's only partially true. We ca...

Clinton really needs to just stop. I know she is hoping to get a few more wins and then make the case to the DNC that even though she has less delegates she's the only canidate that can beat McCain (a...

Spring Fever?

I think it was Stephen King who said "It's the tale, not he who tells it." But I have also heard the reverse of that maxim: It's not the tale but he who tells it. It's something like how Indonesia has...

The name game

What to name the chickens has become a topic of debate at our house. I was thinking of calling one 'Otto Preminger', because it is just a hilarious thing to call a chicken (so is Bukowski. But not Gin...

My Peeps

I picked up 2 baby chicks today, and should have another one or two within the next few days. Keep your fingers crossed that they are both hens and not roosters!...

Alarmed

I went out to get my chicken supplies and they sold me this wee little super shallow watering dish that only lets a teeny amount of water out at a time because, get this, chickens are so stupid they w...

The final straw and all that

I think I'll be voting for McCain this go around. Granted, I could still be swayed, particularly by everyones choice of VP but as time goes on the democratic possibles are just moving further and furt...
