About Me:
Anxiety defines most of my waking hours. I like to sleep a lot. My desk is cluttered. Some items you can find on my desk include: 1 pair of The Fonz knee socks from 1976, one lid from a jar candle, (where is the candle? i don't know) one Pucci print headband, one orange ear plug, one underused Ipod, cds, cds and more cds, one torn dollar bill from a particularly drunken evening, one photo of Maxwell Caulfield, one Lego watch system, one Polaroid of The Bigger Lovers.
Currently, my romantic life is more Benny Hill than James Bond, and I'm lookin' to change that. (there has been some misinterpretation of this sentence. I'm not looking to get divorced, (oops! Too late!) or date around, I'm just looking to get the short, old bald man out of my life.)

boys. Always more boys. [Again, easily misinterpreted, not looking to SLEEP WITH BOYS. (LIE) Just looking for boys.]

than eating poo whilst talking about a t-
bone at 2:30am on a Sunday, right?
RIGHT?
CUUUUUUUUUTE! Kichy kichy kooooooooooo!
in a creepy or mawkish way. i was
there the first time she saw her a
product of her label reviewed in magnet
and she jumped and squealed like an
ebullient teenager before making a
dignified apology to the chick working
there for her behaviour. i tell you,
that alone would make me wish we lived
in the same zipcode, even if it were
not for her crash courses on tiki
culture and the fact that she lets her
mom work her merch tables. anna rocks!
accept no substitutes!
primarily from the years I will title "we
are not peaking"...but you can call
them High School. What floats to the
front of my hazy brain are goldfish the
size of my fist, hours spent searching
through imported vinyl on 24th St.,
Mel's fries shared after a night of
comedy, Anna teaching me about
Bobby Darin and his sad life, a box
fraught with love and chocolate sent
to Frankie Goes to Hollywood (and
then returning to us crushed...how I
still weep), her "serious" stare...then
erupting into a burst of giggles,
visiting her making jewelry (the
beads!), and her being there by my
side when it all ended abruptly. Anna
remains, even from a distance, a
huge part of my memory and what I
judge most any potential friend
by...for can they scare me, teach me,
and make me pee my pants in
laughter? Oh, not as good as Anna,
not as good...
right now, I am struck by what a Mike
Nesmith-ish expression on her face --
that is so cool. (This may help --
imagine her with a wool hat on...) Now
Anna just needs her mom to invent
something really useful (Liquid Paper
for the Heart?), and she can develop a
multimedia empire.
remarks to those areas in which I have
expertise. I never believed
"tastefully decorated" and "tiki motif"
belonged in the same sentence until I
saw Anna's house. She puts on a great
living room concert by the way. And
the post-show conversation can be
bawdy, thoughtful and as entertaining
as the show. I only hope the LAPD
never get wise to the unregistered
roulette wheel. She is a gracious host
with an massively impressive,
obsessively well-organized CD
collection. She has naughty wind-up
toys.
enthusiastic, and good-natured soul,
Anna has fantastic taste in music (see
her 7" Sugarplastic and Gladhands
releases on her Tallboy Records label
for proof). She's one of the core
supporters of the melodic pop scene,
and her exuberance and ear for quality
music makes her a national treasure.
Plus, she's a Tiki Goddess in every
sense of the word. If I could, I'd
Peter Tork for her, but I think she'd
rather I didn't. I'm gonna go lay down
now.
