I am here for Friends

About Me

I like to play records, get krafty, cook, read, dance, make jewelry, spend time with my hubby and friends, and dream about the ocean.
every good party needs:

My Interests

breakbeat, disco/funky house, downtempo, art, handmade jewelry, HK, vegetarian cooking, collecting vinyl, repeat.

I'd like to meet:

more friends who like to play records and shake it on the dance floor, more friends who like artsy fartsy stuff, more friends in Hawaii (I will get back there if it freaking kills me), and more open minded fun silly adventurous worldly friends in general.

Music:

CAKE and BOOTY, Mondegreen, Tik:Tok, DJ Icey, Theivery Corporation, Cibo Matto, Dandy Warhols, DJ Dan, Minifunk, Kelly Reverb, Weekend Players, Krafty Kutz, Slyde, Huda Hudia, Nightmares on Wax, Olav Basoski, G-Love, Bob Marley, Broken Social Scene, Imperial Teen, John Coltrane, Billie Holliday, Etta James, Dimitri from Paris, Cut Copy, Architecture in Helskinki, the Virgins. That's just what's been in the CD player and on the decks lately.

Movies:

The Big Lebowski, The Jerk, Breakin' (I and II), Princess Bride, LA Story, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Anchorman, The Illusionist

Television:

Sifl and Olly, it's the Sifl and Olly Shoooooowww! Adult Swim, especially Home Movies and Robot Chicken (thank you headless Ponch!). "The Alternative" on MTV classic. Reminds me of my high school days. ;o) Entourage. I love it, so well written, and funny as all hell. Vinny ain't bad to look at either. ;o)

Books:

sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs is next in line! can't wait! :o)

Heroes:

DJ Icey, for his innovation and longevity...Kurt Vonnegut for warping my adolescent mind...Beck for being all around incredible and the fly-est skinny white boy ever (despite his freaky scientology weirdness), Krafty Kuts for putting out the dopest breakbeat and hip hop/funk records lately(hot damn he's good)...Bob Marley for being Bob Marley and making me happy no matter what...the Dandy Warhols for being the little band that could--and DID, Steve Martin for being hilarious, smart, an art collector, and a modern renaissance man, who isn't above wearing an arrow through the head. And, e.e. cummmings for having love for the lower case, and for saying this:"to be yourself in a world that is doing its best, day and night, to ask you to be like everybody else - is to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight." -- e.e. cummingsAin't that the effing truth!!!!
