Nowadays you're not relevant unless you don't know who you are and can't tell what you're thinking.

Jen's Interests
|
| General | Industrial applications for American cheese; thematic road trips revolving around artery-clogging foods; terror disco; bland civility (dammit! dammit!) and tedious, dutiful civic-mindedness; stuff I can't afford; mass-produced magazines aiming to guide me in my pursuit of "personal style"; possibly motorcycles. But not the big, chunky ones. The lean, little rough n' ready ones. | | Music | Scott Walker, The Fall, Spiritualized, Spacemen 3, The Chameleons UK, Roxy Music, Dusty Springfield, Pulp, Van Morrison, Jacques Brel, Peggy Lee, Robyn Hitchcock, The Black Angels, Joy Division, New Order, The Verve, Durutti Column, Roy Montgomery, Panda Bear, Arcade Fire, Beirut, The Wedding Present, The Smiths, glam-era Elton John, For Stars, The Mountain Goats, Nick Drake (especially when tooling around the countryside up north), Nico, The Jam, The Who, Guided By Voices, Destroy All Monsters | | Movies | This Is England, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Withnail & I, The Battle of Algiers, Munich, Syriana, 8 1/2, La Dolce Vita, Juliet of the Spirits, White Nights (the Visconti film, not that crap 80s thing with Isabella Rossellini), The Italian Job, twentyfourseven, The 400 Blows, Stranger Than Paradise. | | Television | The Simpsons. Frontline. Also, when I was a kid there was this weird claymation kids' show put out by, I believe, the Lutheran church called Davey and Goliath. It was so dopey and cringe-makingly innocent that it now has a special place in my heart and I watch the clips on YouTube. Nobody would even try a show like that now, kids are such ironic mini-hipsters, it's depressing. At least Davey & Goliath you could make fun of without anyone's help. We sure did. |

About me:
Just this autumn I finally got my blog, Civilization Party, rolling and live. Hit it. Read it. Think about it. Comment. The more feedback I get the better.
Winter 2009/2010 I'm reading:
"The Rose Garden"
Maeve Brennan was an overlooked mid-century Irish writer who, at one point, was doing the Talk of the Town column for The New Yorker. The best stories in this compilation are about an exclusive community in upstate New York called Herbert's Retreat; Brennan is merciless in her observations of the privileged.
"Collected Stories"
Isaac Babel earned most of his notoriety through his tales about the Red Brigade, but his best stories were about his coming of age in turn-of-last-century Odessa. These stories are often so touchingly bizarre you know they have to be true. They will make you simultaneously sad you weren't around in that time and place, and thankful you weren't.
-- Winter 2009/2010

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet anyone who's not an idiot, and is sort of militant about it.
