The Tipping Point

There's always a method actor hanging about

About Me

"...this time however I come as the victorious Dionysus, who will turn the world into a holiday...Not that I have much time..."

I recently adopted 4 boys. Being a mom is really working out for me.

"On falling into filth, there is only one thing for a man to do: just fall, without looking round. The important thing is just to do this with style and energy."

Movies:

i'll watch anything, really, i have a soft spot for romantic comedies, i know i should hate hollywood but it's so alluring and plastic.

Television:

I recommend never using a TV as bonfire fuel. It sounds like a cool idea but trust me, it's not.

I like books by guys named George - George Bowering, George Bataille. Also love the Russians and the Czechs, Daniil Kharms, Milan Kundera, Mikhail Bulgakov. And Argentinians, Jorge Luis Borges and Alberto Manguel (the dictionary of imaginary places!) And various others, Umberto Eco, Kurt Vonnegut, Kathy Acker, TS Eliot, bill bissett, Hemingway, Don Delillo, Leonard Cohen, all the Murakamis, Henry Miller, Jean Baudrillard, Hakim Bey, anything about pirates, funny books about quantum physics, DNA and other science stuff like Dancing Naked in the Mind Field, Paulette Jile's "Sitting in the club car drinking rum and karma-cola: a manual of etiquette for ladies crossing canada by train" and on and on.

Heroes:

My great-great-great grandpa the Jewish pirate Cat Diamond. I was a pirate before all y'all, arrrr!

my sentiments exactly
