About Me


yah ok i'm 26, i live in brooklyn, i have a very bizarre but cool job, i have a lot of records, and like to make clothes. here's some stuff i've done lately:

My Interests

lately, vespa weather, benders, house guests & other visitors, lectures, long hair, high waisted jeans, ladies lotto, marimekko, kitchy jewelry, upcoming vacation time.

I'd like to meet:

people i already know. someone who doesn't get on my nerves.

Music:

lately i've been listening to: old shit, like weezer, sonic youth, and the offspring. i think i'm having a quarter life crisis.

Movies:

quadrophenia, desperately seeking susan, me without you, 200 cigarettes, edward scissorhands, almost famous, trainspotting, pump up the volume, pretty in pink, repo man, taxi driver, manhattan, the bicycle theif, la dolce vita, blow up, clockwork orange, battle for algiers, ratcatcher, show me love, together, chinatown, the edukators, the science of sleep.

Television:

re-runs.

Books:

valencia by michelle tea, their eyes were watching god by zora neal hurston, a heartbreaking work of staggering genious by dave eggers, the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde, the master and margarita by mikhail bulgakov. i am currently reading hunter s. thompson's "hells angels" book and also frank portman's book, which is kind of amusing if you think about it.
