I'll write and direct anything with integrity -- I'm an art-ho, but an art-ho with taste,Here's a brand spanky new list of lots of my TV appearances. You should hire me for more. I'd also make an awesome wacky neighbor / co-worker on a sitcom.And I, much like the rest of the multiverse, have a a blog. More Bex Than That At Which Sticks Can Be Shook, aka Planet Bex ). (please do clickity click and come visit)So! About me: raging Bush-hater, vitriolic atheist, and vehement vegetarian. Turn-ons: cosmology, deconstructing pop culture, singing & dancing, tequila. Turn-offs: emoticons, bad grammar, stupidity, fascist governments, war, fighting, anger, James Blunt.I seem to be a verb. I want a hug. I love this song.I also really like vegan soup.Want me to write your tele- or screenplay or direct your video or do voiceover for you? Sure thing. Lookenzee here!
