"Dreyfus once wrote from Devil's Island that he would see the most glorious birds. Many years later in Brittany he realized they had only been seagulls... For me they will always be glorious birds." ...thanks Sherman

Rest In Peace
About me: i hate writing about myself. it's hard not to sound trite or completely narcissistic when filling out an "all about me" section. so i'll say simply, i think i'm defined by my sense of humor and my love of film and music. and my disdain towards the Right Wing. everything interests me. everything gets me attention. it's hard to focus.
lately my life has been taken over my alter ego, mondo celluloid. come by the mondo celluloid page and say hi!
Who I'd like to meet: who would i like to meet? people who are always up for going to Denny's at 3AM. people who love to get fucked up, but don't NEED to. people who are cool with all sorts of people, not just a select demographic. people who love bars that have couches. winter people. road trip people.
Mondo Midnights presents The Shining, this Friday at midnight! Come see Stanley Kubrick's terrifying classic on the big screen! Art Theatre of Long Beach 2025 E 4th Street, Long Beach CA 90814
Ok, I don't know why I've never heard of this movie...It's called "THE BABY" and it's from 1973...turn your ADD off for a few minutes and watch from the 1:37 mark till the end, it's SO worth it. I hope this is on DVD.
I know that it is really short notice, but, if you would like to come out tonight I am hosting a dinner at my house at 6pm. I would love, love, love... it if you could make it. Let me know as soon as you can. XOXO
