About Me

Were I not riveted down to theatres, I would be out travelling the world. Five continents down, two to go. I live with a lot of plants, cats, and roomates - and if it's the East Coast, also a goldfish, 2 sparrows and a parrot. I like to nap on the porch. If we live together and you don't do the dishes, I will be astonishingly rude to you. I don't like wearing pants. I love science. I LOVE scuba diving. I could mentally live my life in certain fictional worlds. When I grow up, I want to be an astronout/healer/deep sea diver/president/artist/peacemaker/rock star.

My Interests

Love of goldfish, sound design, theatre, the Simpsons, dorks, camping, gardening, kayaking, traveling, music, new school supplies, vegan baking, reading, being weird, scuba diving, playing dress up, green tea enthusiast, getting in the pipe with some friends, dancing (badly), photography, and making guirella art. (I also enjoy parenthetical quotations)

I'd like to meet:

Remus Lupin (in J. Jackson form, obviously), Ray Bradbury (again), Al Gore, the Brothers Chaps, JKR , Kevin Spacey, Lisa Simpson, Kevin Smith , Bill Bryson, Diane Arbus, Tori Amos, Danny Elfman, Barak Obama, Thomas Newman, Stephen Hawking, Sam Mendes, Paul Rubens, Albert Einstien, this guy

Repo! The Genetic Opera - Trailer

Posted Oct 23, 2007

In the not-so-distant future when an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet, scientists gear for a massive organ harvest. A biotech giant comes up with easy organ payment plans, but all financed organs are subject to legal default, including repossession at the hands of repo men.

I need to see this movie NOW.

Television:

The Simpsons, Futurama (new episodes!), Weeds, 24, Project Runway, Top Chef, 30 Days, Iron Chef, Star Trek (anything but the original and Enterprise), Dinner Impossible - oh, but I neither own a TV nor have cable

Books:

Farenheit 451, Harry Potter, Flatland, Spaceland, Stargirl makes me cry my eyes out - it's so good (there was sequel published this August, by the way), have just discovered Alice Sebold, Jennifer Weiner, anything Chuck Palinhuk, Ray Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, Roald Dahl, Bill Bryson or the Grimm Brothers, and all the dorky sci fi in the world.

too early, too cold

It's interesting that when you get up in the morning, it's just never warm enough. Short of setting your thermostat at 95 degrees before bed, there's nothing to be done, either. I wish there was a t...
