| Name: | Michele Grant |
| Website: | sangfroid |
| Location: | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States |
| Bio: | I'm a divorced single mom, cinema enthusiast, and law student (because what this world really needs is another Philadelphia lawyer). Currently, my film hobby is on hold due to time constraints; but in the past my short experimental work screened to tens of people, mostly appreciative, in Philly, Bryn Mawr, Buffalo, and Seattle. I also like doing crossword puzzles and using my Chicago Manual of Style in freelance copy editing and translation work.
Two books that I think you should read are Marvin Harris's Cultural Materialism and Susan Maushart's The Mask of Motherhood. Then pick up the U.S.A. trilogy by John Dos Passos.
"opadit" was one of my daughter's first words and rhymes with and means "open it." Her actual first word was "hockey."
I firmly believe that I am one of the luckiest people in the entire world. I thank my stars every day for my friends and good fortune. I honestly believe I'm living on borrowed time, and I look forward to waking up every single day, even when I've turned the heat down to save on my gas bill. Because waking up isn't the same as getting up out of bed.
My favorite philosopher is Saint Mick of Stone (second half of the 20th century C.E.), who said, "You can't always get what you want; but, if you try, sometimes you just might find you get what you need."
Additional: Follower of a mostly vegetarian diet, older than I look, don't have cable TV, don't own a car but keep my license current. A photo of me and more information than you ever wanted to know about me are available on my web site. |
