About Me

i'm a librarian living in edinburgh since 2005 when i came here to study. always a dedicated letter writer, i've positively sought relationships of the long-distance variety.

Favorite Music

anything of the scottish twee variety tends to float my boat-that-i-row.

festivals i like: www.atpfestival.com, www.primaverasound.com, www.indietracks.co.uk.

having moved into the latter half of my twenties, i am old and boring now. when i get to a gig it's for someone i really like, e.g.: allo darlin, electrelane, help stamp out loneliness, the just joans, the magnetic fields...

am also partial to a bit of noir-ish disco a la arthur russell/johnny jewel/john maus.

Favorite Books

poetry, comics, cookbooks, notebooks.

richard yates makes me cry but i love him.

my book club dictates.

Favorite Movies

american movie, don't look now, gregory's girl, lake mungo, say anything, sunset boulevard.

ken loach, joseph losey, lynne ramsay.

Favorite Television

the office (uk and us), question time, seinfeld, the sopranos

Favorite Crafts

i've knitted and crocheted since my mum taught me how to make booties and ballerina bun holders. definitely more inclined to a bit of crochet nowadays: amigurumi, cosies, flowers, and anything i think is cute or vintage-inspired. one of my best patterns/creations was a flat edvard munch 'scream' motif which now hangs on our wall.

i am currently embroidering a l.s. lowry print.

unfortunately, my sewing has come to a standstill since my flat is too small to have a dedicated desk/study. sigh...

in time i will list some of my favourite crafters/blogs.

Comment: Thank you for the zine and postcard. Your illustrations are very detailed, which makes it fun to gaze at them looking for things I hadn't noticed before. My cover for Issue 2 also had a fat cat on its back! :o)

Comment: Love the fat cat on the cover, and that all roads in Corsica lead to the beach. Funny! Thanks for the postcard, too - have actually been to Edinburgh - a quite vertical city, but oh so beautiful. Must be lovely working in those surroundings ...
