I'm a lil' ol' Southern gal who loves the ocean but currently finds herself landlocked in the Midwest. I'm old fashioned when it comes to manners and decorum but pretty eccentric about the rest of it.

I shoot (cameras) and Photoshop for a living.

I like:

decrepit houses... shitty toy cameras... jet set... diy alt-crafts... comfy hoodies... obscure cheese... foreign poets... advertising... photography... design... memory loss... cocktails... the hokey pokey... cultural studies... fresh notebooks... george clooney... mail that isn't a bill... documentaries... loud music... cooking without recipes... cookies... cupcakes... naps... interconnectedness... animals... garlic... reading... magazines... politics... having my hair played with...

I love it loud... Right now I'm obsessed with Funk Carioca, Bhangra, nouveau folk, and New New-Wave. But I like just about anything, aside from really hard heavy metal.

Love and Sex... The English Patient... Garden State... The Red Violin... Everything is Illuminated... To Kill a Mockingbird (The Gregory Peck version)...Thank You for Smoking...Guinevere (about the photographer)...Artemisia...L'Auberge Espagnole...

To name a few!

Arrested Development (sadly the Bluths have gone the way of the dinosaurs)... Battlestar Galactica--it's not just nerds in space but hot models and Edward James Olmos too... Grey's Anatomy... CBS Sunday Morning... Top Model... The Girls Next Door... No. 1 Single... Project Runway... Actor's Studio... The Daily Show... anything on the documentary channel... South Park on occasion...So You Think You Can Dance (guilty fav)...

Generally, collage and mixed media. I'm not a knitter/crocheter, though I admire those who have the patience to do so! I like painting--not just canvas but murals and furniture. I dabble in book arts. And I love gardening. I sew a little--badly. :-) I adore cooking and baking. Do those count as crafts?
