About Me

So enough people have nagged me about my lame profile...ok, ok. Here's some revealing stuff about me, you silly people (please pardon the sentence fragments):Btw, who the hell 'invented' getting out of bed before the sun comes up? It is still the night before, and that person needs to be killed. It is simply uncivilized and unecessary. I am the Che Guevera of sleeping later: Vive le revolution!

My Interests

Marta, my weimaraner pup. She is playing with a salted almond as I write this(?).

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet George Bush so I could hit him with the rolling pin hidden under my bed.... AND Dick Cheney so I could hit him with the frying pan hidden in my nightstand... AND Donald Rumfeld so I could hit him with the business end of the paring knife hidden under my pillow.Then I'd use the utentils to make arsenic potpie that I would feed the three for lunch, gleefully.

Music:

ACKKKK! So much. Everything on satellite radio, which is all music. I guess my all-time favs are REM, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, and Nirvana. Right now I am listening to Lizst.

Movies:

Taxi Driver, e.g.

Television:

Colbert Report. Daily Show. The Office. Seinfeld. CNN. Those are the shows I watch, period. I didn't even have a remote control or cable until November '06.

Books:

How the hell do I fit a lifetime of reading in one little box? Currently rereading 'Hiroshima,' poetry of WWI. Some favorites: Johnnie Got His Gun, Fight Club (or any book by Chuck P.), Catch-22, short stories of Woody Allen and John Waters, Lolita (the sexiest book of all time), fiction of Flannery O'Connor--southern lady but what a friggin' weirdo.

Heroes:

If one more person says MLK or Rosa Parks, I am going to break out aforementioned rollingpin. Woody Allen is my hero. Yes, it's true. King Edward & Walla Simpson--the ultimate f*ck-off
