Oregon sunshine. Finally.

About Me

I have a kid who rules my world with an iron fist, and a partner of the domestic sort who loves me despite my Latin temper and penchant for cursing. We live in a house with a small orchard in the front yard, and I fancy myself a gardener. I made kick-ass risotto for dinner last night. Apparently, I am domestic as fuck. I'd be out fighting in the streets with you, but the kale and collards need to be transplanted. Someone has to feed the revolution so it grows strong like Tarzan.We are starting a coffee roasting company out of or basement. That's right, DIY coffee.

My Interests

punk rock parenting, stencil grafitti, wishing I were going to shows, peak oil, becoming a better you, travelling to far off lands, getting a decent bike, being post-everything, itmfa, eating vegetables, farming, gardening, writing, not writing back, rock and roll radio, the intersection of art and entertainment, art for art's sake, entertainment for entertainment's sake, film, being a projectionist again, theories on infant sleep, owning my own business, policy wonkiness, fighting for the little people, coffee.

I'd like to meet:

More assholes with opinions.

Music:

My musical tastes are so stale. They involve things that could be classified as pre-punk, post-punk and actual, bonafide punk. I like to visit other genres occasionally: hip hop, country, jazz, blues, classical, soul, but I'm just a tourist in those aisles. My permanent residence is in rock and roll.

Movies:

As if. The most recently watched and enjoyed include: F for Fake, Tristam Shandy, The Constant Gardner, Syriana, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I'm a little behind on the film-going front due to a small human who accompanies me nearly everywhere, but who also finds it difficult to sit still for 2 hours at a time.

Television:

Gilmore Girls and PBS. I don't get any other channels. Weird.

Books:

Right now: The Joy of Coffee, Western Garden, The Gangster We Are All Looking For, How Non-Violence Protects the State

Heroes:

You. No really.

I'll give YOU a Precious Moment (tm)!

So my kid's great-grandmother (not my side of the family) sent her a precious moments angel stuffed doll for easter.  The damn thing recites the lord's prayer in a little kid's voice, which, as y...
