Oh no you squidn't!

About Me

I've been training for a half-marathon that will happen this November. Funny, the last time I ran was high school, and usually I was able to sneak a smoke as we ran around the track because we were out of the P.E. coach's site. Good Times.

My Interests

I quit smoking but I can still spit pretty far! Hobbies include board games like "Star Wars Risk," photography, music, sewing, watching & making documentaries, politics and some video games, like Res, Animal Crossing, Katamari Damacy & guitar hero...Important News Bulletin: Jon and I have now been in California for almost 2 years...and many of you we have yet to visit! Sorry about that...

I'd like to meet:

Basically want to stay connected to my Bay Area buds!

Music:

Lately its been The Sound, Broken Social Scene, O.M.D, Talk Talk, Some Kind of Wonderful Original Soundtrack, Devo, Wilderness, Whipping Boy, Joy Division, Fugazi, blonde red head, black heart, magnetic fields (always), hot snakes, the National....but when I feel like dancing I put on The Knife. Slow dancing is another matter...Blue Nile, and Thanks to Kev. we have a crap load of Icehouse on vinyl.

Movies:

Buffalo '66,Magnolia,Some Kind of Wonderful, Coen Brother's,Amelie,City of Lost Children, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure,Time Bandits, Brazil, most Tim Burton,Robocop the usual...

Television:

I don't have fancy cable anymore so mostly PBS...Antique Roadshow,Most Documentaries,Road Trip with Huell Howser (that guy cracks me up). I also love America's Next Top Model, Farscape, Lost, The Office and renting HBO shows on Netflix...currently reviewing Six Feet Under.

Books:

A Series of Unfortunate Events,The Golden Compass series, and of course Sarah Vowlle and David Sedaris, when I get time.

Heroes:

This is too hard...I guess anyone that stands up for what they believe to make a Possitive difference! Gandhi is one of my heros, then again so is Pat Benatar. ............................................................ ........................................... ............................................................ ...........................................Most of my friends I consider hero's, especially those music making maniacs, who sacrafice their personal hygene, livers and chance to make real money just to create something for everyone!................................................... .................................................... ............................................................ ...........................................The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. --Martin Luther King Jr.
