I like to talk to other dorks who like to be kooky like me and have a sense of intelligence that is not just booksmart. baaaaaaa. And sheep. I really really like sheep. I've never met a sheep.
UPDATE: I finally have met a sheep in between England and Scotland on my English Safari. I would like to state for the record, that yes, sheep are neat, but stare without blinking for WAY too long, which may lend to strange feelings.
I get illiterate when I think of Music since it overwhelms me in such an earth shattering way, so bear with this paragraph. (Perhaps that has something to do with reading it a lot) Ahem. On an ordinary day, I would be listening and or dancing to downbeats, Jazz, low down musical bluesy type stuff, electronically charged funky beats, Can Tom Waits please come to my house and make my piano start drinking PLEASE? Astor Piazolla, Gotan Project, Number I II and III, Julien Neto. Then, Cafe Del Mar and Hotel Costes compilations; Pink Martini. Avro Part. TOM WAITS. MMW. Fitzgerald. Sinatra. ADA. The Dining Rooms.

Then there's Holly Cole what a gem, and Molly Johnson too. 2Raumwohnung is cool. St. Germain and VORCZA are uniquely divine and I love ELVIS. (He IS alive so frig off)
