About Me

i'm a visual person and a graphic artist...i love the water...can't get enough HGTV...and have a curious attraction to Typography and letters in general. I got married October 1st, 2005...and just moved out of my hometown area (Washington DC Metro area) last summer...and I'm living 1/2 mile from the beach in Nags Head, NC. I like to get my creative juices flowing and am currently devising a plan to get an invitation design business underway. In the meantime I'm working at an art gallery down the street and showing a few pieces at the same time. You can check out some of my older (very old) photography at www.studionassetta.com

My goal is to have my graphic design up on that site by the end of November. ; )

What Flower
Are You?
"You are a very sensual person. You like to experience all the sights, smells, tastes and textures the world has to offer. Ordinary be damned, because you want to do it all."

I'd like to meet:

locals, designers, artists, lovers of type and letterpress, and people who suck at surfing but who are addicted anyways. originals.

I love you Rohan Easter "baby Ro"

Music:

John Hiatt, Elvis Costello, Mutual Admiration Society, Soul Coughing, The Shins, Nickel Creek, Widespread Panic, Raul Malo, Jars of Clay, Jack Johnson, Grateful Dead, CSNY, The Killers, Keane, Xavier Rudd, Glenn Phillips, classic Bluegrass, Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, Kings X, Lyle Lovett, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Swing music, classic Jazz,...and the former DC local band Egypt...

Movies:

where do I start? I tend to go for the independent/art house films....but I just can't seem to recall all of the incredible movies I've seen at the moment. Here are a couple that come to the top of my mind: Life is Beautiful, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Raising Arizona, Shawshank Redemption, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, Moonstruck, Swingers, Office Space, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hotel Rwanda, Riding Giants, Ghengis Blues (documentary), Big Night, Amelie...more recently saw Little Miss Sunshine and loved that one too.
The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic
Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.

Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

Television:

HGTV, TLC, 24, Battlestar Gallactica, ER, Gray's Anatomy, Leno. Just got into "The Riches" on FX. TV is an evil timewaster....and I am somewhat of an addict. Drat.

Books:

Just finished "Eat, Pray, Love." for my book club Saggio e Bella. LOVED it. Now we're on to "The Other Boylen Girl"...and I'm a little over half way through. Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Love the poetry of Robert Frost. Especially Birches. I also love pouring through Graphic Design books. I am quite anamoured with the children's book "Olivia." Really, I LOVE her. : ) Where The Wild Things Are is also quite awesomely cool. Oh...and The Giving Tree. That's a classic of course.
