Riveting! Exhilarating! Bone-chilling! Pretty okay!

About Me


This layout is from WhateverLife.com; get yours today!
Ordinary life is not enough for me. Living solely for myself and only for my own personal happiness is not enough for me.
I make short videos. If you are creepy I can usually tell within seconds. I like eye contact. The slightest moment, like the corner of a mouth twitching, can make me happy to be alive. I don't want to follow a dream that means my own community isn't the one I'm working for. I learn a lot from my two-year old niece. I like to dance. I live off intuition. I think difficult transitions are hot. I have done wildly inappropriate things on stage in the name of free speech. I think myspace profiles that have a lot of sentences begininng with "I" might seem self-indulgent. I shook my hero's hand. I'm okay with just not knowing.
I work at the ATOMIC SAUCER in Germantown, where we sling coffee (we roast it ourselves), keep the neighborhood colorful, and keep art on the walls and in the air. Come soak in our swank. We want to see supportive, friendly, smart, artsy, and/or queer folks enjoying us. Because we will enjoy you. You beautiful thing.

My Interests

video, all types of art, traveling, documentaries, chalk, skinny dipping, synchronicity, seeing my beauty in you, heart-pounding conversation, kindness towards strangers, stars, the saxophone, good food, quantum physics, opening doors, shiny things, making the world yours. I have a Siberian Husky named Gaia. She says "I love you."

I'd like to meet:

Fellow artists, activists, grantwriters, and more ladies gliteratti of the new movie uprising. Genuine people who are not afraid of themselves are really what make my world go 'round. I prefer re-meeting after re-meeting after re-meeting...

Music:

Make me a mix. I bet I'll like it.

Movies:

Miranda July, Grey Gardens, Death By Design, The Atomic Cafe, Mystery Science Theater, Tarkovsky, What the bleep Do We Know, Ghostbusters (yes, Ghostbusters, and not the second one, only the first one), Carl Dreyer, Lars Von Trier (especially The Idiots), Charlie Chaplin, Renoir's Rules of the Game, and a billion more.

Television:

Your President, Georgie Dubbaya, wants to cut funding for PBS and NPR. Tell Congress to stop him (again) at moveon.org by copying and pasting to this link:

Books:

regularly: Janet Frame ( Uncle Blackbeetle IS Dr. Clapper?!), Rumi, The Mastery of Love, Ray Carney, The Artist's Way, Paris Review
currently: Ander Monson's "Other Electricities" (oh my god. Wow. Yes.)
read once a million years ago and never forgot it: Toni Morrison, Dante, Sartre, the play Equus, Leni Riefenstahl's autobiography (that was the biggest book I have ever seen in my life, and it took almost a lifetime to get through it.)

Heroes:

"Blessed are the clumsy craftsman, working alone in their basements, for they may pound out something personal, unique, irreplacable."
