About Me

Now that I've quit bicycle racing for good I'm trying to get away from being so type A competitive and find some serenity. So I started taking yoga classes. When we're supposed to be calmly focusing on our breathing I think about how my downward dog kicks ass on the other mommies.Parenting pointer-don't ask questions:Me: Why are you so angry?Phoebe (age 3): I don't like this dress. I don't want to go to school. I want to be naked. I don't like you, I like Daddy.

My Interests

trying to think like a working bass player for the first time in 15 years, gawd I hope I still got it. Surfing (ocean, not channel), rokkin' the vintage ES-175's, skiing. I'm riding road bikes this summer, but only with a well loaded IPOD. I want to be like the cool kids, but I must confess, I LOATHE snowboarding, cyclocross, skate skiing, powder days and double overhead days. It feels so freeing just saying it.

I'd like to meet:

the inventor of a brown hair pill so I can fire my colorist.

Music:

I'm auditioning for bass player in a power pop band this week. I'm so rusty I hope I can still pull it off. Punk rock/alternative is in my blood but all I want to listen to anymore is bossanova and bugalu. I'm also completely preoccupied by the songwriting of Paul Weller, Al Green and Buffy Sainte-Marie.

Movies:

A Streetcar Named Desire, Harold and Maude, What's Up Tiger Lilly?, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Caddyshack, Repo Man

Television:

Daily show, Olberman, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Inside Nextel Cup, Psych

Books:

just finished Georgy Faludy's My Happy Days in Hell. More of a magazine person, New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, the Economist, Placebo Journal, Vanity Fair, French Vogue

Heroes:

Julie (Sierra), Carly (Becca) and Melissa (Pebbles), who are bravely leaving the adult entertainment industry for the fashion industry, graphic design and military, respectively. Maria Kowalski, my 80-year-old neighbor who worked right up until she broke her hip in the doctors parking lot. And Mike Passero, who still shows up even after he broke his hip in the doctors parking lot. And Larry Flynt, not for his pornographing but for his vigilence in outing moral hypocrites.

My Blog

Oh. Im home.

I've been away from home this summer so much that I wake up and wonder where I am. Some days I look around and realize I'm home.

note to self

Please stop eating onion rings, specifically Burger King Onion Rings. We know it was only 140 calorie small size, but these upset your stomach. Now you can't go on the 5:30 group ride...

send good luck wishes

I'm finally trying out on bass Tuesday night for Minky Starshine. I'm practicing frantically and my fingers hurt. I can almost handle it now but I'm still a mere shadow of my for...

Southern gentility and Yankeefication

I really am a hopeless Yankee feminist. I may bitch and moan about my roots, but I left the South forever in the 1970's and for good reason. My guidance counselor, Gladys Williams, ac...

no floaties

Phoebe learned to swim yesterday with no floaties. She can swim underwater and pick stuff up off the bottom of the pool already. She's all smiles about the whole thing....

worth the price of admission

I have been neglecting my favorite sport, surfing, for far too long. I think I was playing too much tennis last year and went maybe once, and this year it's been flat and I haven't been out.&nbs...

fake moaning

I'm in this sophomoric circle of friends, almost all male, who send mostly moronic group e-mails to each other. This retarded gem landed in my inbox tonight. http://www.moanmyip.com...

Why is Florida so unbearably tacky?

We're going to Florida this week for my mother's 80th birthday. This is going to sound super snobby but I loathe eating out in Florida. I am a fine dining whore. I wo...

baby steps

As part of my self-imposed rock hiatus desensitization training I just went to open mike tonight and did 6 songs. Kind of like a training criterium. Set List: Nobody Knows You When You're Down ...
