| Introduction | i am a professional shoe-tie-er and i do the chicken dance with kindergartners on a regular basis. i love to read, and poetry is my favorite. i love to be with my cass (my daughter, not a misspelling of class). i teach the finer points of verbal reasoning and essay writing to pre-meds. i dance, dance, dance. I am in love with beauty, and my passion can be infectious. I am brought to my knees on a regular basis by the beauty that surrounds me all the time. I love glimpses of people's souls - the bits of divinity that we all leak out. I seek the Great Work, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom, and Perfect Happiness. However, I have also been known to do things like loose my keys and find them in the fridge Smells make me gag and sometimes puke (as does brushing my teeth - but don't worry, I still brush my teeth). "The soul in love lances itself out of the created, and creates in the infinite a world for itself, and for itself alone, how different from this obscure and fearful den" |

| Favorite Movies | I LOVE David Lynch. The Big Lebowski, any really bad "Horror" movies (i.e. anything by Full Moon Productions and the like), really good horror movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original - not remake) or Hellraiser, I am a sucker for romantic movies because I am a hopeless romantic at heart. True Romance and Wild at Heart are two of my favorites. The Wall, anything by Tim Burton, Chocolat, Bitter Moon, Orgazmo, Dune (both old and new), pretty much all Johnny Depp movies, A Scanner Darkly, Idiocracy, Pick of Destiny (Tenacious D rocks!), Drop Dead Gorgeous, Talledaga Nights ('cause I like my Jesus to party), Pan's Labyrinth, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Kung Pow, Perfume: the story of a murderer, Waking Life, Man on the Moon, Constantine, American Beauty, Being John Malcovich, Total Recall, Annie (the original), Romeo and Juliet (Clare Danes and Leo Di Caprio), Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, Ghost World, Matrix Trilogy, Broken Lizard movies (my internal jury is still out over whether or not Beerfest is better than Supertroopers), Labyrinth, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Hero, Cat Soup, Earth Girls are Easy, Pump Up the Volume, Borat (All Hail Mr. Cohen!)

Lately, I have been enjoying the graphic novel series Angel Sanctuary - thanks to one of my students who let me borrow the first 6 installments. |
