About Me



I'm a photographer, songwriter, designer, and shower singer. Occasionally flippant and always finding humor in inappropriate situations. I love summer rolls, toast, and socks. Although I rarely eat socks anymore. I have an unhealthly obsession with the VW Golf. I don't own one... I just like to stare at them as they pass. My husband, Paul, is also a photographer. He makes me laugh constantly... he's my light and inspiration. Together we are www.stehlikphotography.com .
I moonlight as the host of a Songwriter's Night at Tre Amici @ The Bunker, which, for the most part, fills my musical needs. Check that out: www.myspace.com/treamicimusic. Check out the cool award we just got!!

My Interests

I like to walk around barefoot, sing loud and ridiculously off key, write, and terrify small children. I love the definition behind Mark Ryden's ( www.markryden.com painting, Jessica's Hope. I think everyone can relate to it. But it's not about you, darn it! It's "*Jessica's* Hope", not "General Public's Hope." Get it?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a sense of humor, music appriciation, and an open mind. And everyone else too. Except for monkeys. I used to love monkeys and wanted one until I found out they were agressive and spiteful. So if there are any monkeys or chimps here, please do not contact me. I have no bananas.

Music:

Imagine every genre of music. Then put it in this space. But more specifically: Pink Floyd, Massive Attack, Ray LaMontagne gives me goosebumps, Jeff Buckley, David Grey, Nick Drake, Damien Rice, etc. FYI: Wolfsheim's "Touch" is awesome when mixed with vodka. Try it.

Movies:

Garden State and Once are tied now as my favorite movie. Braff v. Hansard. Oh yeah. It's on.

Television:

Old: Balki Bartokomis still rules my world. New: House. I mean...really. Need I say more? I speak "House" and the ladies swoon. I know they do. Also, check out "Three Sheets" on Mojo. I dare you not to love it.

Books:

What're they? OH, those paper... thingies. I last read "Set This House In Order". That filled my "one book per calendar year" quota...I'm far to ADHD to sit down and read.

My Blog

Who *is* Balki?

Several people have asked me who the "Balki Bartokomis" that I reference in my "tv likes" section is. This disturbes me. Deeply. As the dance of joy was an intricate part of my young adulthood... a...

My friend "Tom" and why I'm a hack.

Tom is my friend. Or, as I call him, Tom Tom. Not *Sue Sue*, TOM Tom. I signed up for this "myspace" beast yesterday, and immediately he befriended me. Without even waiting for me to fill out my p...

The Anti-Song...song

It's true that I am a deeply complicated, thought provoking, brilliant writer. Well, no it's not, but it *is* true that I write things. Occassionally I get sick of what I write, and I revert to sing...
