no silver platter I eat it from their hands

About Me

I perform improv comedy and sketch. http://lookcookieimprov.com/ I do serious theater sometimes too. I write sketch, satire, and cultural commentary. I take many many pictures http://flickr.com/photos/leahallis/ I write songs about silly things I create arty things. I ride my bike. I make friends. I prepare for the revolution

My Interests

making others giggle. potential employment.

I'd like to meet:

small friends, CLIVE OWEN, someone who likes surprises, the most generous philanthropist.

Music:

la la la. la la la. I hear songs I like and then I find out they are from commercials and it makes me sad.

Movies:

takashi Miike because he hurts my brain and makes me feel really uncomfortable and KIYOSHI KUROSAWA for the same reasons.

Television:

It shames me

Books:

History of Sexuality, One-dimensional man, Master and Margaritta, Dead Souls, The Mandarins, Faust, The Fire Next Time, Harry Potter, Lord Of the rings... so many more but these seem like broadly pretentious enough choices for people to make judgments about my character.

Heroes:

Herbert Marcuse, Iris Young, Herb Alpert, Camus, Cindi Lauper, ColdTowne, Michael Combs, my parents,and people who can not be described in one sentence.

good hair

I had my last level 3 improv class today. It was really fun and ridiculous and reminded me of how good it feels to nerd out. Two people I respect told me I was fearless and that made me smile real big...
