About Me

Wine, vicodin, and a good game of dominoes (not neccesarily in that order), conversationalists, philanthropists, museums, whistling, whittling, rocking chairs and cigars, and weekends that result in mystery bruises.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other violent penguins in the New York area.

Music:

Well....I do like to sing showtunes in the shower while my cats stare at me through the clear curtain. Perverts. I use my loofah sponge to soak up some of the sound because the acoustics in there are really good. Besides my own amplified Liza impressions, I enjoy the smooth sounds of David Bowie, MORRISSEY, Tribe Called Quest, Fiona Apple, Outkast, Regina Spektor, Amel Larrieux, Zapp Mama, Portishead, Massive Attack, Jon Brion, Ella and Etta, Audra MacDonald....countless others.....

Movies:

Well-done documentaries are my secret geekdom passion. Anything with Marlon Brando circa HOT days. Freaks, Amelie, H&K go to Whitecastle, Straight Jacket, Old School, Cabaret, Leave her to Heaven, Hannah and her Sisters,The Deer Hunter, Malena, Whale Rider, Harold and Maude...

Television:

Evil box. Must destroy.

Books:

1984, Memoirs of a Geisha, Bukowski, The Alchemist, Orwell, Bukowski, Fast Food Nation, Collapse, We the Living, The Jungle, She's Come Undone, Bukowski, Siddhartha, The culture of Fear, Tom Robbins, Howard Zinn, whatever I recently finished.....Did I mention Bukowski?

Heroes:

Strange Days

I used to write quite a bit. A while back, for some reason, I stopped. In hopes of revving up my creative juices again, and after over three years on myspace, I present my first blog:Strange daysAre t...
