About Me

me according to lil sis:
This was a game, like bridge, in which you said things instead of playing cards.
Like bridge you had to pretend you were playing for money or playing for some stakes.
Nobody had mentioned what the stakes were. It was all right with me.

As of September I shall be residing here

We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs
But we still can't just behave ourselves
Even if to save our own lives so, says I, WE ARE A BRUTAL KIND.

My Interests

politics, feminism, the UN, art/photo, books, movies, music, culture, traveling, food, "feel-good" dancing, M. Sasek's books, riding my bike, stupid faces right before the camera goes off, apple chancery, being crazy in the head, not capitalizing, Mr. Clean magic eraser, bold textile patters, floor samosas, pimms and lemonade, buzzed on the Tube, hoodies, chocolate covered strawberries, Venika's hilarity, paper goods, ms. erin's photo-art.

I'd like to meet:

"Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is: maybe he didn’t?"

"you have to let that raga drop..."

"

Music:

so fresh and so clean clean

Movies:



Royal: He saved my life, you know. Thirty years ago. I was knifed at a bazaar in Calcutta, and he carried me to the hospital on his back.
