emitting silent but deadly bombs. eating. evading work. signing up for a pathetic, paltry amount of hours on my work schedule. laughing loudly and being mimicked/mocked by an amazon parrot.
I'd like to meet:
progeny of a chinese trapeze artist.
Music:
I am infatuated with patrick wolf's music. the decemberists (thus the chinese trapeze artist line). the clash. the KILLS, so amazing. mozzy moz moz. smiths. my favorite little piece of dandruff floating in the sky. rosebuds. libertines. death cab. pretty girls make graves. serge gainsbourg. ambulance. crimea and crimeans and the crimea peninsula, is it called? sons and daughters--watching them live is like a religious experience. dfa79 (sorry rach...but i do like them b/c they are hypersexualized, like a dog in heat or the chicken at my work) DISNEY especially ALADDIN and the LION KING. Beauty and the Beast is pretty chock full of awesomeness--especially "be our guest" because it has mad jerry orbach power. stars.
Movies:
Roman Holiday (in fact, anything that has AUDREY Hepburn in it is bound to be up there). LION KING. ALADDIN. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (just about all of the animated Disney movies up until the late nineties.) Pebble and the Penguin.
Television:
FOOD CHANNEL PASTRY COMPETITION, and ancient rome on the history channel. friday night standup on comedy central. law and order svu; i'm pretty much a dann florek junkie.
Books:
old ladies with herring-scented houses unite and stand up for isabel(le) archer! henry james is full of awesome might. vain old dorian gray. the escapades of a bounty hunter named stephanie plum. dr. johann faust and his doomed gretchen. ALEKSANDER HAMILTONIA HARMONIA HARMONICA, by Ron Chernow. I love Hamilton almost as much as fat dogs love giblets and gravy. Khaled Hosseini is the man. Richard Russo is so wunderbar that it makes the little plump heart of mine jump with joy. Geeta Kothari's essay on 'if you are what you eat, then what am I' manages to be frenzied, funny, and poignant. I do love my food.
Heroes:
ernest tristan, may he rest in peace. my border collie/Queensland Heeler/Aussie sheperd mix, Zap, or Howard Porthos (Porthos because he's portly like the fellow who played the character in the Disney channel adaptation).
