I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am the author's composite character. I look nice enough in a dress, but the illusion is destroyed by my extravagantly clumsy demeanor, and when I walk the skirt hem goes SPANG with each stride. I have no volume switch on my inner dialog - it leaks out - and I like to sleep.

My Interests

world domination, experimental artsy fartsy, nit picking and Klaus Nomi

I'd like to meet:

Fluxus performers, Love & Rockets lovers, Al Columbians, book obsessionadas, experimental sounders, those whose eyes are watery and bloodshot from too many movies. Coffin Joe and Tura Satana. Yoko Ono.

Music:

noise, experimental, outsider, improv, weirdo, stockhausen, minimalism

Movies:

american astronaut, faster pussycat kill kill, institute benjamenta, yellow submarine, satyricon, tuvalu, careful, lost skeleton of cadavera cave

Books:

garcia marquez, love and rockets, "serious" comics, mcsweeney's quarterly concern, anything lurid disguised as a history lesson, juxtapoz mag, wire (NOT wired - although I never actually read it), glossy DIY mags and New Yorker

Heroes:

John Cleese, Emo Phillips

My Blog

Halloween is immediately upon me, with costume and set production of a relatively small project in full swing. Gosh but I love that papier mache... I've been trying to master instructions for the past...

I'm gonna be fast on this one

There you sit, thinking you should check in with your pal Dei to see WTF she's up to. Well, she settled on the job thing so now all the evenings consumed by resume tampering and the more-pleasant-than...

what the?!

I was looking for the Calendar function on MySpace, but I can't find it. Is it only available to "bands"? Did I overlook it? I asked someone nearly a decade younger than me and he never heard of such ...

a metaphor in the stitches

I'm sitting here still looking up jobs, researching a few where I have interviews, and pulling out an embroidered logo from one of my few presentable shirts. The stitches on the letters are teensy and...

oy criminy!

I'm still looking for a job, wavering between despair and good cheer - more towards the good cheer this week, as the first week of October was on holiday (no brain aneurisms this time!) and I've taken...

No kids, but a dancing dog

Latest hobby: grow it yourself ulcer. No, I don't really have one but I am all stressed out with the annoyance that is corporate behavior and a rabid job search to get the hell out of there. Oh, well,...

Oh well just finally

Thus! I finally bit the bullet and bought internet access for the home. I spent nearly ALL FRICKIN DAY online, with a brief run to Staples for resumé paper (ivory?? oh please I hope it works); a coupl...

Hard "G"

The Concord gang is getting antsy, but I don't want to do anything that's going to affect my ultimate goal of raunchy comix. Although I would consider making puppets for a Grand Guignol piece. Now acc...

Battleship Plotkin

So here I am at work, entering all the leads from the latest tradeshow, and in lieu of a business card someone has written "Mikhail Plotkin" and a phone number, last digit illegible. No country code, ...
