Knitting--that's right! I love to knit. I think I may have developed a repetitive-motion injury from knitting, but I just take tylenol and keep on. I love movies, but have no time to see them--well, other than kid movies with my kid! I like cooking, esp. making non-vegan recipes into vegan recipes. Also I like baseball especially the Braves--big surprise huh?? I like hockey, too--the New York Rangers. I feel disloyal supporting a New York team, but what can you do?? Other than that my interest is mostly in music . . . please read on . . .
I'd like to meet:
John Cusack--is he on here anywhere? David Cross! Feel free to make fun of me any time, it would be an honor. I would also love to meet any other ROCK MOMS ha ha ha! I am tired of feeling like an alien when I show up at t-ball and parent meetings. Are y'all out there? Also I would like to meet vegans and people interested in animal rights . . .

Television:
I am obsessed with 24!! 24 24 24! Love it love it. I just watched seasons 1-5 back-to-back from October-December, so now I am enjoying day 6!! Venture Brothers is my favorite show after 24 . . . but on repeats now, boo-hoo. Also I love the Colbert Report, Metalocalypse, Scrubs, Law & Order (all of them), CSI (Vegas and NYC), Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City (RIP), almost anything on the History Channel, MXC and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. What I usually watch, however, since I have a 4 year old is Curious George, Sesame Street, and old Superfriends, Sponge Bob and Cyberchase.
Books:
I will read just about anything, but these days it's usually murder mysteries or something that's quick and easy because when you are a single mom you have no time to read for yourself! I do read a million books to my son every night . . . and I am a geek for Harry Potter. I read the latest book in 9 hours the day it came out. Yeah, yeah, I know I need to get a life! I also like biographies. And books on baseball. And any books about film. I like just about anything--I'm easy!!
Heroes:
My son, the Flash!! Susan Sarandon and Demi Moore . . . (it's an in-joke . . . ) Al Franken and anyone who gives George Bush shit. The Vegan Freaks. Amy Sedaris! She is nuts and I love her.
