Uhhmm... I'm a simple girl without much to offer humankind. I like comic books, playing pool, beer, movies, boardgames in which I can take over the world, second-hand clothes shopping, gin and tonics, smoking pot, coffee and cigarettes, poetry, music shows, my back porch, and sometimes I like going to school. I think I would make a great dictator.
I'd like to meet:
My doppleganger.
And this guy
Music:
Currently; Interpol, Stellastar, The Cure, Iron and Wine. Always; Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse, Low, Dirty Three, Murder City Devils, Sigur Ros, Beck, Minus The Bear, Nuetral Milk Hotel, White Stripes, Willie Nelson, Chris Isaak, Beck, and David Allen Coe, Sublime, Credance Clearwater Revival.
Movies:
I have strange expectations of movies and sometimes I think about them too much. Recently I've seen I Heart Huckabees and I loved it. Napoleon Dynamite is fucking hilarious. Some of my all time favorites are; My Life As A Dog, Gingersnaps, Donnie Darko, Igby Goes Down (despite the obvoius Catcher In The Rye motif), Godfather I and II, City of Lost Children, Royal Tennenbaums, Fight Club, American Splendor, Breakfast Club, Four Rooms, My Life Without Me, David Lynch's wierd shit, Millers Crossing, Blade Runner and campy horror movies.
Television:
Commericials fill me full of ire and though I'm not prone to violence, I've often thought about going on a shooting spree during commercial breaks. Frankly I think they give me ulcers and grey hairs from having to bottle in the unholy rage. Now, combine that with the fact that most programming is less entertaining than watching fecal matter float down the slew and you'll understand why I don't watch much tv. The one glorious silver lining in television land, of course, is The Simpsons. For them I will put up with such obvious and uncreative consumer propaganda. If Family Guy was still on I would do it for them too. What is it about stupid fat men with funny families?
Oh yeah, and I'll watch Conan. Sexy Irish giant of a man... grrr.... And lets not forget David Cross and Bob Odenkirk from Mr. Show... which I think isn't on HBO anymore but its cool cause DVDs do exactly what you tell them when you tell them and they don't try to sell you shit.
Books:
Oddly, I am a literature major and my favorite things to read nowadays are comic books. I'm on volume five of The Sandman, waiting for payday to buy volume nine of Transmetropolitan, wishing I could find more I Feel Sick, and Lenore, and Squee. Speaking of short attention span, Nine Short Stories by J.D. Salinger is fucking worth the while, as is Dress Your Family is Denim and Corderoy by David Sedaris. Stranger In A Strange Land by Heinlin or however you spell his name. I like almost everything written by Stephen King and John Irving.
Heroes:
Spider Jerusalem.
And that girl in the bar who asked the republican, "What were you addicted to before you were addicted to god?"
