About Me

My friend Shawn and I share an MP3 blog where we blather about the music we enjoy and pretend that our opinions count every now and then. We're both dorks and socially inept at times. If you get a chance, check it out...
I'm a lapidary, a gemologist, a ballerina, a belly dancer, a musician, a singer, a blogger, a glass artist, a photographer, a food enthusiast, a wife and an unrepentant cat lover.According to Meyer's Briggs I'm also a bona fide nerd (INTJ)
I work as a programmer to fund my hobbies. If I'm not found making something, dancing, eating or napping, I'm usually doing something related to music. I play flute, theremin, harp and some violin. I have a habit of collecting NIN halos of all sorts. I buy and trade music regularly. I love going to live shows around Austin from coffee bar gigs to the Austin Symphony Orchestra. If you ever see me, feel free to come up and say hi. I don't bite. In fact, I'll probably hug ya cause that's the kind of gal I am.

Myself 20 years from now.

Music:

My musical tastes are all over the place and constantly change, but on high rotation at the moment are the following musicians: Nine Inch Nails, Dhol Foundation, PDQ Bach, John Tavener, John Rutter, Laurisden, Ministry, Dolly's Pillbox, Voltaire, Dresden Dolls, Ditty Bops, Schrodinger's Cat, VAST, Bjork, Justin Ray, Bobby McFerrin, Toby Twining, Lucid Dementia, Alpha Conspiracy, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, ImaRobot, LCD Sound System, Moonbabies, Solemn, Atari Teenage Riot, Underworld, the Machine In the Garden, KMFDM, Weird Al , Victor Scott and pretty much anything that comes across the Tim Young Contrast Podcast show. I love world, industrial, experimental, metal, goth, electronica, ambient, baroque, classical, folk and good old fashioned rock music.

Movies:

I seem to really like art films about musical icons: Farinelli, Shine, Amadeus, Immortal Beloved, Velvet Gold Mine, etc. Other favorite movies include: The Office, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Josie and the Pussy Cats and Children of Men. I also love documentaries: Born into Brothels, Children of Theater Street and Supersize me come to mind.

Television:

I don't watch much TV, but I do adore Lost and Project Runway

Books:

I tend to read technical journals and non fiction more these days. However, every now and then a good smutty VC Andrews novel really hits the spot.

Heroes:

Molly Ivans, Cesar Chavez, David Sedaris, my mom and my friend Jocco who is an absolute free spirit.
