not wearing any pants, plastic snow globe collecting, yoga, jim, mexico and central america, discovering new healthy things to eat, beer, indgenious crafts, friends, music, shows, dia del los muertos,bad horror movies, bad movies, traveling, people watching (my favorite game is looking for people on the subway with urban fiction novels. I find the titles hilarious like "K'wan's Gangsta" or "A Harlem Situation", dudes that look like scumbags, everything fashion(history, fabrics,carrot cake, sewing, patternmaking, styling, designer clothes/disposable fashion in general), history, riding my bike, Pretzels, brooklyn, shoes,museums, dirty hangman, "I like my pie non-conformist", the internet, flea markets, thrift stores, vintage costume jewelry, dressing really crazy, creepy dolls, fancy pants, finding antique furniture on the street in the trash and making it nice again(everything in my room is stuff i found in the trash. It's not what you think; it's really really nice actually.. people who have no imagination should not use furniture from the trash); paying attention to detail, moving my ass, and being overly obsessive and nuerotic about just about everything.
Ridiculous dogs and new friends in Brooklyn that like bad horror movies, and bad movies in general, people who want to come over for movie nights/dinner parties, other swashbucklers and adventerous types,and will buy me beer and will go on bike rides. Nomadic travelers. Inspiring people. People that want to make films with me. The strange and elusive from my past.

1984, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. I haven't read anything since 1995. I'm sort of counter-acting the whole new-intellectual thing.. I also enjoy histories, biographies, travel books (both info guides and travel journals), photography and anthropology books.
Everything I ever needed to know I learned from Janice Dickinson. Wubba. Old ladies that keep it real.. but more specifically.. My southern Grandmother who used to sneak brandy into her coke at 3 in the afternoon while watching $25,000 Pyramid in her "house-coat" while feeding me Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
