About Me

I like ducks...well, pictures of ducks.

My Interests

music, theater, words, pictures, Lindy Hop and Butoh dance, foreign countries, picnics on croquet fields, fancy free summers, adventure and exploration, that elusive thing called "fun," liberation from human suffering

I'd like to meet:

A beagle named Benway.

Music:

Classical music spanning about four centuries (with an emphasis on the last one), Greek music, the nightmarish paradise of MGM and entertainment-jazz from the 1930s-50s, electric and fusion jazz, Indonesian gamelan, Indie rock, old school hip hop, japanese anime and tv soundtracks, showtunes, the operas of Benjamin Britten, anything that makes me want to sing or dance, or makes me feel warm inside (or cold), or moves me to intense emotion (with the exception of intense loathing), or relaxes me.

Movies:

Andrei Rublev, anything by Tarkovsky, Brazil, anything by Terry Gilliam, Videodrome, anything by Cronenberg, Dreams (Kurosawa), Silence of the Lambs, Satyricon, anything by Fellini, Kubrick

Television:

I stopped watching television when my brother's pony Silver got tangled in our antenna and pulled it down. Don't ask- it was too long ago to remember.

Books:

One Hundred Years of Solitude, City of Night, The Little Prince, Rebecca, Cities of the Red Night

Heroes:

Christopher Reeve

Good times

Now and then I feel like the world is falling apart, and everyone is made of shit, and the only thing to do is to masturbate until blood comes out of my penis.

chicken penis

I'm scared of myself. I am a fucking monster. I'm becoming increasingly doubtful of my ability to take advantage of my existence. I'm scared of what I have done to myself, and scared of what I will do...

some good advice

1. Never date an artist (or a composer), as they tend to be self-absorbed and self-important, and you're not very likely to get as much affection as you would like. 2. Always make sure the person you'...

The most beautiful song in the world

I've come to an important decision: the most beautiful song in the world is "Bess, You is My Woman Now" from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. If you can suspend the initial distaste at the title (which is a...
