Television:
Obviously the internet is my tv. For some reason I don't feel it's eating my imagination, just my time--so that's okay, right?
Books:
Right now I'm dancing with Hamlet & The Baker's Son, Augusto Boal's autobiography, The Ethical Slut (reading for the 3rd time), Living Our Dreams (Delaney), and Against The Stream (Levine). Other amazing bibliosperiences have been Without A Net (Tea), The Ancient Child (Momaday), Changing Ones (Roscoe), Trans Liberation (Feinberg), Pronoia (Brezsny), Redefining Our Relationships (Matik), The Little Prince (de Saint Exupéry), Stone Butch Blues (Feinberg), Dharma Punx (Levine), Changing Ones (Roscoe), Siddhartha (Hesse), Trickster Makes This World (Hyde), Their Eyes Were Watching God (Hurston), Rule of The Bone (Banks), Zami (Lorde), The Alchemist (Coelho), Life of Pi (Martel), The Invisible Actor (Oida), and Kiss of The Fur Queen (Highway); I like Suzan-Lori Parks and The Five Lesbian Brothers, e.e. cummings and Shakespeare, Richard Bach and Adam Bock.Next up: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (Eggers), Speaking Sex to Power (Califia) and Stranger In A Strange Land (Heinlen). What would you suggest?
Reading While Walking is a name I claim. Don't worry, I won't run into anything.
Heroes:
Hey, YOU'RE my hero! I mean, I've been following your work for ages and now here you are! Holy Limberger Eiffel Tower Compadre! Can I get your autograph? I am so totally flippin outa m'skin here! Hardcore. I'd call this a High Five Moment. Yes, you there in the back, come join this respect-dripping, rejection-risking, consentual group hug!
