About Me

Behold mortals!
This is my reel:


In 2001 I made some animations while in art school.
Rudimentary, yes.
Funny, maybe.


Bunny Daddy
Burritos & Milk Bees
Silly Willy Gnomes
Willy's Story Willy's Day Out
I own 2 chinchilla's: Mortimer & Beer
I religiously go here: YTMND
I only shop at Trader Joe's.
I have really long fingers, yet I don't play the piano.
I listen to NPR constantly - Leonard Lopate owns.
I have a modest collection of two dollar bills.
I'm a designer and I enjoy being falsely supercilious.
I have an small obsession with Brasil.
I want to learn to play the banjo (like my Grandfather) and the keytar.
I used to own a Volvo until it got towed because New Jersey has a propensity for Swedish cars from the 80's.
I once kicked the Pope in the fucking elbow and he got mad. Afterwards, he forgave me, as was the tradition at the time. But, now that he's dead I feel really bad that I pissed on his toliet seat and ate all his chips.
I am a sesquipedalian orator.
Here are some of my favorites:
aberration
acrimonious
affectation
anachronistic
bifurcation
commiserating
conciliatory
consternation
convivial
excoriated
fecundity
gauche
impetus
ingratiate
indecorous
meretricious
miasma
nebulous
nihilistic
obfuscation
pernicious
perspicacity
polysyllabic
pontificate
posthumous
quixotic
solipsistic
stultify
surreptitious
vociferous

My Interests

Latin House Demo

Going to NWA concerts, lamenting about Iceland, cooking cups, talking to plants, attending NAMBLA meetings, eating soap, glinting the cube, asking people if "they're happy", drinking goat milk, zipping up zippers, eating cat teeth, making up inane "interests".

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can chuck a brick really far.
Someone who can concurrently bake really good chocolate chip cookies and meatloaf.
Someone who's actually put a lampshade on their head during a party when they were drunk.
Someone else who has a Volvo.
Someone who knows what the smallest country in the world is.
Someone who owns both The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth on DVD.
