About Me

Unrepentant film geek.I've got no shame in admitting that I'm also a bookworm (libraries, comic/regular bookstores are my sanctuaries). Practicing yoga helps the karmic wheel...I think.Gaming is something of a meditative thing for me. Destroy All Humans!, (old school) Activision, both Katamari games, Ghost Master, The Simpsons: Hit and Run, Blood Rayne 1, Stubbs The Zombie and both Buffy the Vampire Slayer games are on my top 10 list. RPGs and most war/FPS games are not.I am a pop culture junkie and own wayyy too many t-shirts.

My Interests

Books, sewing, yoga, pugs, crossword puzzles,movies, gaming, yummy veggie food, board games,zines.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who likes to avoid Helen Hunt's pinched face and Jennifer Connely's drab demeanor.

Music:

Not a fan of polka, "women's music" or reggae. Some of my fave bands: Skinny Puppy, The Pixies, fobia, Soda Stereo,The Sex Pistols, The Human League, Vanity 6, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt,early 80's rap/freestyle, The Velvet Fangs, Mr.E, Synthecide, Divine, Bright Eyes, W.I.T., ABBA, B.W.P...

Movies:

Alfred Hichcock, Pedro Almodovar, Quentin Tarantino, Gregg Araki, and David Fincher hypnotize me. I go ga-ga for noir, Shakespeare movie adaptations and pre-code flicks. As for actual movies...Showgirls, Bound, The Matrix trilogy, the Evil Dead trilogy, All About Eve, Fight Club,The Manchurian Candidate (Sinatra version), Teen Witch,Serenity, Murderball, Sin City, Freeway, Titus, Secretary and Auntie Mame.

Television:

Firefly (and the other two 'small' Joss Whedon shows...), Arrested Development, Rome, Sifl & Olly, Jem!, Law and Order: SVU, The Soup, Cold Case, Real Time with Bill Maher, Bones, Battlestar Galactica and the doubly delicious whammy that's Veronica Mars and Best Week Ever.

...and a happy Dormingo to you!

It had been about a month and a half since any new "Heroes" episodes. My roommate (a casual fan of the show) had gotten home about five minutes before the show came on. I had just finished reading a c...

Cheese is for the wicked and I guess that is why I've sinned.

        I had gotten up early Tuesday morning on my day off no less, just so I could have enough time to run errands, perhaps catch a movie. Cnn was on the tv while ...

The old 2 for 1 in reverse.

   First the random: my feet are pinching a bit, but I've just begun to break in a new pair of heels. The temperature has finally begun to drop in Miami. Eye&nb...

Not Gone

    The World didn't shut off, but I did - from the inside out. Lots of Spartan vibe. I'm wide awake now. Anyhoo...     Most of my dreams have had a deutsch soundtra...

Behind the curtain... ROYAL RAINBOW!!!

     There are few in the world who aren't familiar with the thug life/culture. Rappers wear mink coats surrounded by hoochie divas while telling stories about the drug wars, the s...

For the love of trash...

       I walked in the theatre fully aware of the very bad reviews Basic Instinct 2 had gotten. Most of the critics were truly vicious. Perhaps they thought this movie sh...

The Ideal...

    So, I have just stepped out of the bookstore, feeling a bit grody at the fact that I've just spent a bit more than I wanted on some new stuff. I've got so many errands to take care ...
