This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a wimper...

About Me

thirteen years in the music business...busy being busy.a devourer of film, literature, music, art - with a wicked tongue for sarcasm.it's the little things that make me most happy. i laugh every chance i get.i love a good story, whether it's told in a photograph, song, character development, a joke.

My Interests

Cooking, reading, NPR, film, music, tattoos, Japanese and Indian Culture, gonzo/transgressive fiction and my rad 6 yr old nephew Corbin and his weiner Sierra IMG SRC="http://home.comcast.net/~dnale13/lovenogenderblue%20(Sm all).jpg"

I'd like to meet:

those not afraid to color outside of the lines or live pushing the envelope.adults who see the depth in cartoons. people who won't fuck me over; that's calling a duck a duck.

Music:

I listen to everything from Debussy to NIN (who have a connection believe it or not.)
I am so into Upper West Side Soweto right now...Greg Dulli in any form, Jeff Buckley, old Radiohead, 1979-1991 INXS, Matthew Sweet, old U2, Led Zeppelin, Spoon, Crowded House, too many to name.

Movies:

anything Tim Burton, Paul Thomas Anderson, Cohen Brothers, Wes Anderson, Christopher Guest, Kevin Smith, Scorsese...I have a love affair with art darlings as much as hollywood trilogies, jock talk and sci-fi flicks.
Crash (Cronenburg), Secretary, Garden State, Closer, Napoleon Dynamite, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind, The Bourne Trilogy, Indiana Jones, The Last Tempation of Jesus Christ, Dogma, Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Television:

The writers strike is over!!! Californication (DD is just plain amazing in this - he actually acts this time around), Heroes, Reaper, every HBO series past and present, anything on the History channel and PBS, Simpsons, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Robot Chicken (doesn't that shit just make you squeal?) Not on any more - The X Files, Twin Peaks, Alias, Chapelle, Northern Exposure, Six Feet Under, Rome, Futurama, old school Ren and Stimpy and The Brak Show.

Books:

There is NEVER a time where there aren't books are on my shelf crying out to be the next chosen. I have hundreds of books waiting for their own home library, SO bourgeois. At the end of the year, I treated myself to 23 classic purchases (not a chosen number!) So, there has got to be about 70 books on the little bookcase marked unread? Is that considered consumer culture or its marked escape?You can't beat the bread and butter authors - Fyodor Dostevsky, Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, JD Salinger, Edith Warton, the list goes on... Anything Chuck Palahniuk. Michael Chabon. Christooher Moore. Tim Sandlin. One day I will truly write; I can only aspire to capture my life as a cross between Augusten Burroughs, Kerouac and Hunter S. As a kid, it was a huge deal staying up to watch the Wizard of Oz. Don't know about you, but it always bugged me - how did the witch get green and what did she do to get so damned wicked? Gregory Magure's backstory fills us in, with a little sex thrown in for good measure. Yeah, I'm a geek, but she's has such a gifted imagination and has created infinate worlds! JK Rowling kicks serious ass. I miss Harry and his friends SO much already.

Da POX!

As if I haven't already had a really shitty year... I got the chickenpox, again.  My immune system has been so shot, I couldn't fight it off.  Seems that some little brat was in the exam ro...

Coffee Grin?

Dig deep into the past...Christmas 1998.  Josh Bokee gives me a daily desk calendar - Murphy’s Law, joking it should be changed to Nale’s Law.  Of this, over the past 15 or so ye...

Cholecystectomy

An innocuous visit to the ER on Monday afternoon put me in the hospital for five days!  I had a cholecystectomy on Tuesday afternoon - my gall bladder removed.  I should have been released t...

Sarcasm

I tune in to a great public station called WXPN out of Phila every day.  A dj I particularly like was talking about the Brit Rock of my generation, that of the 90s, why the ar...

White hair, bitches!

I made a random statement last month (goes as no surprise).  I'm at Gram's, in the bathroom, and I yell for her to come in right away.  I'm pulling my hair back and I'm actual...

LOST insanity!

One week until LOST continues.  I'm in a LOST mania, really.  I started watching season one on Saturday - the second half of the second season starts tonight.  I guess it's a good thing...

WHY Santa?

In light of recent times, if you think I might even begin to offend you by talking about Christmas and the giving season, I'm going to ask you to read on, knowing that even, maybe once, I'm not going ...

Ice Storm

Check out the ice storm photos in my pics.  The icicles look funny because they are actually ice casings - the ice formed around the branches, didn't drip down.  When the wind blew and shook...

I would be remiss if I didn't add I really liked how nice and neat Dexter was tied up tonight.  Hot mean bitches should always get what they deserve! ...
