Movies
B-movies! Classics, grew up on a diet of Japanese horror and Ed Wood. Maybe that's what caused all this damage!
Books
I'm an avid reader - LOVE Martin Amis, John Shirley, Mervin Peake, yow - who else??? Recent great reads (on this trip): SWEAT, the Body Thief (ya well, i did live in new orleans!), the Kite Runner, On Gold Mountain, Belle Canto, Years of Grace, Water for Elephants, the Buddha of Suburbia....
This trip: the Road (didn't like it!!!), Collected writings of Mark Twain (illustrated 25 cents at the Salvo!!), Farewell to Manzanar, Fox Girl, the Wisdom of Whores by Elizabeth Pisani is FAB.
Heroes
Anybody who knows how to live without hurting anyone else! People who make a difference - for the better.
About me: I'm old enough to have seen it the first time round and young enough to enjoy it even more now! I'm an artist, a passionate classic car collector, rockabilly music jiver, and human rights activist. I live in Indonesia where I help kids to think for themselves and not die young (from drug overdoses or AIDS). Every day is a new adventure for me - as it should be!
While I play hard, I also work hard. The flip side to all of this is my activism in Indonesia where I have been living and doing field research, social development, advocacy, and training for a quarter century. In addition to advocating on behalf of street children since 1991, I spend my 'free' time doing volunteer trainings for youth in harm reduction, safe sex/HIV/AIDS/STI prevention. My 'day' job is as Community Engagement manager where I specialize in making sure ordinary people in rural and urban kampungs are thoroughly involved in the development or rehabilitation work NGOs carry out in their communities. My personal specialty is in domesic violence prevention, disaster prevention and safety, child protection, youth and women's empowerment.
At 05:53 on 27 May 2006, an earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale struck Indonesia’s central island of Java. The epicentre was located approximately 37 kilometres south of the city of Yogyakarta. The earthquake severely damaged infrastructure, housing, schools and clinics. 5,744 people were killed immediately with more than 45,000 injured. Over 350,000 houses were damaged beyond repair and 278,000 suffered lesser damage, directly affecting 2.7 million people and rendering 1.5 million of them homeless, three times the number in Aceh after the Tsunami (26 December 2004).
Where were we? In Las Vegas for the VLV 9 and my dad's 80th birthday. Our home in Nologaten, meanwhile, suffered a fair bit of damage - nothing compared to our neighbors. But enough to require we start looking to move shortly after returning on 6 June.
Our new home!!! Come visit!
Who I'd like to meet: I frequently jump between worlds: my spectacular home in Jogjakarta, Indonesia and minding my aged parents in Las Vegas (and occasional consultant work in various parts of this planet). I don't know many people in Vegas so looking for cool people to hang with! Artists, activists, adventurers, anybody!
