Movies
leon, city of lost children, 8 1/2, clockwork orange, barbarella, delicatessen, brazil, russ meyer's supervixens, legend, the big lebowski ...
Television
haven't watched it in donkey's years..."the young ones" is basically perfect. also the english political satirical talkshow "have i got news for you" which is guaranteed laughs. English politics is really amazing, the way politics really should be anywhere.
Books
i read like a 1st grader.
currently: a travel book about eastern europe
favourite: caught inside (small book about surfing, nothing spectacular, but i like it).
Heroes
you know, i used to have heros. but they are all dead now.
oh! and i just found this video on my computer from the good ol' days. these are my ever-so-wacky ex room-mates making a super jam!

i will miss this house. i love you all.
and another shot my yours truly. my crazy family in yorkshire. one too many 'headbanger' beers for dad i'd say ;-)
and this fabolous video i shot with jonathan (the star) in london while i was there this winter. Jonathan edited this thing into near perfection. for a crumby $200 digital still camera, i think it's pretty damn good!
..
Who I'd like to meet: ..
people who i'd like to spend my days with, not just my nights.
people who want to go on bike rides with me
people who give as much as they take.
anyone who can inspire me.
masseuses
people who will climb trees and buildings with me.
anyone who can fix my busted ass knees.
people who want to help me with my projects. You can pick more than one if you want;-)

Hi hun! The Alleycat was a success! Made a good amount of money. Wish you'd been here. You'd have had a good time in the race. Kirk was in it. He donated a lot of money and time. Take care out there. We are thinking of you.
theres an art thing in brooklyn under the brooklyn bridge where you can look into it and see people in england live, looking at you over the ocean. maybe we could go tomorrow. find it online and call someone you want to see
I'm basically locked indoors during the next two weeks of beautiful spring due to work/rehearsals/etc, but round-about the time you'll blow through i'll be [mostly] footloose and fancy free, and huzzah for that.
i'm failing to write a paper on Ulysses, still, week 1.5 after its due date. college is lame. i'm leaving for three years. back to sf, or austin, or portland, or maybe atlanta, then berlin, or cape town, or helsinki.
boo deadlines. yay travelling. yay working "shitty" jobs i actually enjoy. yay being broke. yay not brushing my hair for three weeks and counting. yay paper on ulysses isn't so bad. yay drugs. boo alcohol. yay hula hoops. boo potholes.
hectic...but the weather is getting very very nice so everyone is happy. I will probably be leaving for LA around the time you come here, but I should be here till the 23rdish at least. hows sf?
