About Me

As far as Amtrak is concerned, I am referred to as Chief Master Sgt.

My Interests

Dignity. Hearing new music. Walking. Potlucks are great. My friends make me so happy. I like the idea of being a catalyst in a really good way. And, I am really interested in liking the smells of both rosemary, rainy pine trees, certain boys and linen that's been in the closet for a really long time. Not stale, but linen-y, dig?

Music:

I like it. Yo la Tengo, Midnight Movies, Band of Horses, The Coup,the Feelings, Barbara Manning, The Gossip, Papercuts, holy shit, mr. sufjan stevens, the Velvet Underground, Archers of Loaf, Sly and the Fam. Stone, The Owls, Midlake, Joanna Newsom, Ambulance, David Bowie, Bikini Kill, Reigning Sound, RATATAT, The Roots, neil young, elliot smith, quasi, magnetic fields and stevie merrit in general, mt. goats, magnolia electric co., Will Oldham and associated projects, like Bonny 'Prince' Billy and Palace and Palace Bros., heatmiser, halo benders, the notwist, le tigre, blonde redhead, aimee mann, low, manu chao, helium, built to spill, a cure for hiccups, the kinks, euphoria. lalalalalalala

Movies:

Some of the ones I can think of: Fame (I just watched it!), Capote, La Mala Educacion, Open Hearts, Goonies, American Splendor, In the Mood for Love, Fast, Cheap and Out of Control, Hearts and Minds, Princess Bride, Labrynth, Rushmore, The Station Agent, Made In America.

Television:

Daria! Six Feet Under! The Office (British version, never seen the U.S. copy)! Coupling!!!!!!!!!! Daily Show, Project Runway.

Books:

Goodnight Moon

Heroes:

John, Nancy and Jennifer Pruess. Joan Didion. Amy Goodman, Cat Power and Terry Tempest Williams. Dennis Kucinich because he said something really poignant about how dehumanization is never a one-way street. (Not like that of course. My brain hurts when I try to recount really articulate thoughts), Emma Goldman. And nice people. I really like nice people.

My Blog

Oui! Put your leg on it.

Once again I take out a heady, contradictory mix of boredom and stress over things I need to to do on a blog. Friend W. sent me music and there are two songs I can't stop listening to:Air-The Owls. I...
