Sit Right Down and Make Yourself Uncomfortable

About Me



I have big hair. I wear black. I like reverb, distortion and feedback.

My Interests

Cadillacs, Air America Radio, American politics, beer, smoky bars, good jukeboxes, pool, spicy food, Edy's Girl Scout Thin Mint ice cream, big damn silver jewelry, high heels and red lipstick, pulp art, noir anything. Oh yeah, and shih tzus.

I'd like to meet:

I prefer a dry wit, not easily shaken.
NO teens. NO bands. Most of you sound like Staind, and there's no reason to be proud of that.
Private profiles? Hard-to-read/black backgrounds? Get lost.

Music:

Beasts of Bourbon, Gun Club, New Model Army, Damned, Nick Cave, Birthday Party, Cramps, Alien Sex Fiend, Killing Joke, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Lords of the New Church, Einsturzende Neubaten, Tex and the Horseheads, Scientists, Spencer P. Jones, Dubrovniks, Hoodoo Gurus, Lime Spiders, Olympic Sideburns, Tindersticks, Screaming Tribesmen, These Immortal Souls, Crime and the City Solution, Gallon Drunk, 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Tom Waits, Gene Autry, Spade Cooley, Hank Williams (the first, not Junior, and fercrissake NOT Hank III), Lefty Frizzell, Johnny Cash, Dash Rip Rock, Motorhead, Blasters, X, Mad Daddys, Five Horse Johnson, Chameleons, Boomtown Rats, Gang of Four, and on and on and on....
I loathe emo, rap, hip hop, rap metal, and new country.

Television:

Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Jeopardy, AbFab, CNN. A drunken, trivia-loving, Bush-hating news junkie. Yup, that's me.

Books:

Currently I'm reading Frames by Loren D. Estleman.
Mysteries! Dennis Lehane, Robert Crais, James Lee Burke, John Connolly, William G. Tapply, Carol O'Connell, Lauren Henderson, Tim Dorsey, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Laurence Shames, Max Allen Collins, Jack Kerley, Elmore Leonard, Janet Evanovich, Tom Corcoran, Kinky Friedman, Tim Cockey, Sarah Strohmeyer.
Comic Books! Sandman, DR and Quinch, Hellblazer, Preacher.
