i am interested in art. in skin. in glass. on walls. on canvas. the gurgling stew. the boiling kettle. the aroma emanating from the oven. i am demonstrative in love. i often utilize the aforementioned media to express it. join me. can we just effin look after eachother? save the cutting of throats and stepping on of toes for those pricks out there? i care not if i sound like some faggot pagan girl, i am keeping it lit. the light's coming back, it is the nature of things.
Music
oy vey. the list is miles long... all time faves: birthday party, nick cave et badseeds, the clash, the damned, elvis costello, ancient talking heads, some old ass who, kinks, always about the stones, the beatles,X,portishead, massive attack, tricky, (the mid nineties boot knockin variety), charlie parker,miles davis,billie holiday,john coltrane,louis armstrong,astrud and all the other gilbertos, tom waits, lounge lizards, john prine, tim buckley, jeff buckley, elliot smith,(*god help my self indulgent melancholy)... when i am all perimenopausal, i feel a little bonnie raitt, annie lennox, old old ass eurythmics... feeling very mod lately. all about the jam and paul weller's subsequent solo endeavors, but not so much recently, though he is still panty peeler. gorillaz. radiohead.verve remixes. television. roxy music. new order. (old not new). underworld. then there is the grizzly techno side...love to throb it. chemical brothers, fatboy, prodigy, (STILL living off the fat of the land!!), jon spencer and his explosions, have many guilty pleasures that i can't even list coz i am so gay-yuh. anything percussive and sometimes jazzy, but scatting gives me hives. big fat drum and bass, and even the old ska... in the words of kurt vonnegut, "music is proof that god exists".

Books
Heroes
toulouse-lautrec, klimt, schiele, kandinsky, vincent fucking van gogh, gaudi, hundertwasser, dali, o'keefe, kokoschka, waterhouse, singer sargent,alice walker, jamaica kincaid, toni morrison, ahhh i could carry on and on and on...those who create beauty and peace in the face of dire circumstance. those who are compelled to convey the truth despite the consequence. bla bla bla.
About me: with hope and promise comes the shedding of layers. cynicism is so 2006. i am open to the next phase of my growth. i am inspired to succeed by those whose will has prevailed over seemingly insurmountable challenges. the spirit that shines through and resonates with those who can recognize it. i am challenged to stretch beyond my comfort and complacency. sometimes it hurts. love is the balm.
Who I'd like to meet: people who like making art. serene elderly people who knit and bake. those with blank skin that cries out for ornamentation. collaborators. those who are generous in spirit and heart.
Well hello Ida my dear. I haven' really had a moment to slow down lately. Wanted to take a minute to say hello. It looks like it is your birthday... Happy Birthday to you! Hope you get everything you want ;)
