At least half of my life takes place in dreams.

Look into him.

LAUNDRY PIECE
In entertaining your guests, bring out your
laundry of the day and explain to them about
each item. How and when it became dirty and
why, etc.
1963 Summer
I got stuck somewhere around 1986, where Echo and the Bunnymen, Smiths, Joy Division, Pyschadelic Furs and such reign supreme. When i do venture into this century, i tend to stick to the sweet indie pop like Lucksmiths, Softies, Magnetic Fields, etc.
I have a pretty big collection of vinyl (and a growing collection of 8-tracks) which i cant help bring home from thrift shops. My main intrest is silly 80's pop (like missing persons, a-ha, nena hagen, duran duran) and even sillier cocktail, orchestra stuff (like martin denny, les baxter and all kinds of unknowns like Ping Pong Percussion).
When i'm feeling mellow, it's all David Sylvian, Dead Can Dance and atmospheric stuff like that.
I am a movie junkie.
for years i have worked at a art-house movie theater just for the unlimited free movies. On average i see one film per week in theaters and a few more at home.
Some all time favorite movies, in no particular order:
Amelie
In the Mood for Love
Fearless
Impromtu
Grease
Bartleby
Lost in Translation
The Kingdom
well, of course, i love the book i wrote:
Straight Up Haiku
