About Me

I make a mean smoothie, this nobody can deny. I have a stunning and disarming professional phone voice- ask anyone. I make films/videos once in a great while, and most of them I hate. One, however, got erased and I haven't decided if I want to re-edit it. *shrug* I am very good at finding ways to look at a situation and make it infinitely worse. In otherwords, I'm an excellent cynic. However, I'm also the most optimistic cynic you will ever have the mixed pleasure of meeting- because I usually believe things have a chance of turning around."It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin...I believe in a different American dream.

My Interests

I usually know all the correct lyrics to most songs- even the ones I truly despise. If I've heard it twice I probably know most of the words.

I'd like to meet:

People passionate about something... people passionate about nothing in particular, but passionate anyway.

Music:

Beck, Bjork, Mike Doughty, Jamiroquai, The Flaming Lips, Ravi Shankar, Missy Elliot, NERD, Pharcyde, Arrested Development, Basement Jaxx, Beastie Boys, Beatles, David Bowie, Fiona Apple, Michael Jackson, Mum, Ozomatli, Radiohead, Soul Coughing, The Rapture, Sigur Ros, Tenacious D, The Eels, Cornershop, Portishead, Self, Gomez, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, LOTS OF JAZZ. ... gah... no more...

Movies:

Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Office Space, Say Anything, Amelie, Ikiru, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... I can't give you a favorite. Ask me my favorite film from a particular country or genre and I might be able to narrow it down a bit.

Television:

Mostly cartoons- Family Guy, South Park, other adult swim stuff, Arrested Development, The Office, Discovery channel documentaries, IFC, Sundance Channel, stuff like that.

Books:

I used to read a lot. I read a Palahniuk book last.

Heroes:

Folks who tend to fight the status quo. I don't know. People who do what surprises everyone else.

My Blog

I never write in this thing

All my blog entries are really old and unapplicable. It's true. It's because I think my innermost thoughts and feelings never end up on a blog anyway, and my good friends already know what they are.&n...

A Survey

The trip, and matters of importance in the near future

San Francisco was a blast. It was a workout, as well. My legs are still stiff from all that walking. Totally worth it, though. I feel renewed, as a good vacation will do.I am totally going on a diet. ...

Deeply Contemplating Missy Elliott

Ever notice how every single one of Missy Elliott's songs is an "exclusive"? She often collaborates with other people on these tracks, so it's not like it's exclusive in the sense that she alone makes...

Dude

I hate how my left nostril is so deviated it looks like my nose is all deformed in certain pictures. People are always laughing at my pictures, saying I look like I have a booger in my nose, when it's...

What I Need...

Is a Stevie Wonder kind of love. Something pure, easy, full of soul and with no sharp corners...Perhaps I need a dash of salsa or meringue- or better yet, a little bossa nova jazz sung with some sexy ...

Utterly Candid

I've been mulling over an idea in my head for some time now. It seems the last vestige of what is interesting in film or video is the candid- the odd stuff caught on tape, the obscure and hilarious- t...

One of those intellect... people.

So this random dude I was seeing for a couple months is trying to chat me up at a party recently. The subject comes to intelligence for some bizarre reason and he starts trying to get me to "admit" th...

AAAAARGGHHH...

Just when I thought I'd never feel that kind of thing again... it comes creeping back up, like yesterday's breakfast; that restless feeling, like a cold, dull, lazy fever- consuming so much of my insi...

Bustin out!!

So I realized today that I am now a D cup... I was a C for a really long time so it's come as a shock to me. Heh. At least I now know why my bras didn't fit right! the music selection is totally ...
