I am interested in making ebombs (I think they would make a great Christmas present next year!), reading any books that I haven't already read (good luck on that one), and stopping the penquins from taking over the world. I also am interested in people in general. I promote unity no matter what it takes and I'm looking forward to teaching my new son to hopefully do the same!
I'd like to meet:
ALL I WANT IN THE WORLD IS A FRIEND! ONE REAL LIVE ADULT FEMALE FRIEND TO HANG OUT WITH SOMETIMES. IF YOU LIKE SHOPPING FOR CHEAP CLOTHES, DRINKING CHEAP COFFEE AND BROWSING THROUGH USED BOOKSTORES FOR CHEAP BOOKS, EMAIL ME!! I'M DESPERATE. THE MOST SOPHISTICATED JOKE I'VE HEARD ALL YEAR WAS ON SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. I'M NOT KIDDING. I HAVEN'T LEFT THE HOUSE WITHOUT A SIPPY CUP IN MY PURSE FOR MONTHS!
Seriously, I am serious. I would really like to hear from other moms or just some people who pity me and would like to take me to the mall.
Music:
My newest find is General Elektriks. Very cool. As far as the kind of music I like, I guess I could make a list like everybody else: I like Desmond Dekker, Common Rider, Operation Ivy (but not Rancid), Blur, Ween, Dead Milkmen, Presidents of the United States of America, NOFX (and pretty much anything that Fat Mike does cause he's my hero!), Beat Junkies, Monkey, The Toasters, Wailing Souls, Toots & the Maytals, THE TOY DOLLS, THE PIXIES, I'm trying to think of my CD case but I just don't want to type for three days so I'll end with that.
I'm learning to enjoy classical music a lot more these days because it's supposed to be good for 'infant brain stimulation' and it knocks the baby out cold when he listens to it!
Now that Kane is older we're listening to different stuff in the car; Pacific Vibrations, Moby, Our Lady Peace (actually he doesn't like that one but I do), Common Rider (still), Digable Planets, and this great CD called 'Dance, Baby, Dance'. It's all those dumb nursery rhymes set to super cheesy techno grooves. Funny stuff. Funny stuff. Oh, and 31 Bands Trash 31 Songs Trying to get to Sesame Street (at least I think that's what it's called). He loves Sesame Street.
Movies:
I TAPE PICTURES TO MY TELEVISION. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR MOVIES. EXCEPT THE CLASSICS. AND ANYTHING ANTI-PENQUIN LIKE TIM BURTON OR NICK PARK. OR ANIME. OK OK, I DO WATCH MOVIES. I WATCH LOTS AND LOTS OF MOVIES. TONS OF MOVIES. I'VE SEEN 'FINDING NEMO' 379 TIMES. AND I LIKE IT! SO THERE.
Television:
KILL ALL THE TVS. THEY'RE RUINING THE FUTURE OF THIS GREAT (cough cough) NATION OF OURS!
The American Counsel of Pediatric doctors have recently stated that television can physically damage an infant's brain. It causes ADD and ADHD as well as hypertension in children due to inactivity. If that's what it does to a baby's brain, what do you think it's doing to yours?
So anyway, I'm a terrible Law & Order addict. If anyone knows of a support group for that; let me know. And...I love the Food Network. Iron Chef rules!!
Books:
ANY AND ALL.
I read all the time. ALL the time. People always ask me what 'kind' of books I read. Here's a hint on picking out books; choose books that have won awards, like the National Book Award or the Pulitzer Prize. If someone gave it an award it's probably a good book because those people know more about books than I do.
Stay away from bestsellers. Just remember, the same people that make 'American Idol' a hit TV show, make those books bestsellers. THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN A REALLY REALLY LONG TIME IS 'HAUNTED' BY CHUCK PALUNIAK
Heroes:
Paris Hilton. NO, I'M JOKING!! My real heroes are; MYSELF. AND WILLIAM BURROUGHS. OH YEAH, AND CHACHI.
But not Paris Hilton.
