About me: Violinist for avant-rock/experimental band Kayo Dot and modern classical, ambient, guitar/acoustic violin duo Tartar Lamb. I also perform from time to time with the atmospheric Gregor Samsa. Click the names for their individual myspace pages!
I build robots with names like Lothar who do cool things for 30 seconds, maybe twitch, malfunction, then die. I call them tragibots.
This is my plan for world domination: I am unscrewing the world. Everywhere I go, I carry a screwdriver around with me. Then I unscrew anything I can - bathrooms, tables at restaurants, people's bookshelves, trains. Once I unscrewed an entire McDonalds table in Tokyo. One day, the world will go CRAASHH! from all the lack of screws and then I'll be queen of the universe.
Last but not least, please visit My Livejournal/Blog thingy! All you'd ever really need to know about me is there, really. :)
Mia, Tu es juste rayonnante, belle comme la soie, tu es à croquer! J'aimerais te connaître dans la vraie vie avec ce sourire enchanteur et radieux! Kiss, Philippe (PARIS)
just arrived in the national forest yesterday. In Southern Colorado mountains, USA> I saw some chipmonks, and a deer, and a fox and a coyote crossed the road. And some other animals, I got out of the car, and there were so many mosquitos on my arm! So i brushed them off and got back in the car right away, and closed the window.
Strange day. After watching a documentary about streakers suffering from over exposure, I took a nap. It was a short one. I woke up a midget. At first I was freaking out, jumping around, trying to reach the wall phone. It tired me out. So I sat on a foot stool and placed my face in my hands wondering why this had happened to me. In the middle of self-pitying I started noticing how much fun it was to kick and swing my feet. I was smiling again, and found myself running through the house at full speed... wrestling with my now giant puppy. Oh, the joy! I hadn't had so much fun in years! We laughed and played and laughed until we both fell asleep exausted on the living room floor. Then I woke up and ruined the whole damned thing.
