Warning! Harpies may be hazardous to your health! Always use Harpies responsibly for maximum benefit. Before interacting with Harpies tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to them; or if you have any other allergies. Before cavorting with Harpies, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: penis conditions, sickle cell anemia, eye problems, kidney disease, liver disease, bleeding disorders, active stomach ulcers, heart problems, recent stroke within past 6 months, very high or low blood pressure. Harpies may make you dizzy or cause vision changes; use caution engaging in activities with Harpies requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Increasing a Harpy's alcoholic beverage intake may help. . . or it may be contraindicative. To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, never surprise a Harpy.
Caution is advised when introducing Harpies to the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects. Harpies are not indicated for use near children. MUSIC I WRITE and PHOTOCOPIA

TV THAT I DEIGN TO WATCH:http://www.myspace.com/aellossister Tom Waits is, without question, my favorite artist. Other than that, anything goes, from Classical to Punk (especailly Irish Punk). My dream journey is to one day take a trip around the world listening to remote, native music as performed by local, mostly non-professional musicians - all rough and imperfect. What could be better?
FIREFLY is, of course, the all time best show ever. (DAMN YOU FOX and your oily hide for cancelling it!)
BOOKS I'VE READ:CURRENTLY WATCHING: Heroes Pushing Daisies Life Grey's Anatomy Battlestar Gallactica - SEASON 1 (DVD) (And *GASP*) Survivor

PEOPLE I LOOK UP TO: Froissart's Chronicles Barber's "Life & Campaigns of the Black Prince" The Dictionary and Thesaurus Gaston Phoebus' "Book of the Hunt" Richard Bach's "Illusions" The Luttrell Psalter The Paston Letters (in language of the era) Anything by Christopher Moore, Hunter S. Thompson, or Charles Bukowski
