About Me

Support my MS Challenge Walk this September!
I'm raising money to support my mom, and the research that will one day cure MS!

My daughter Samantha wiggled into this world on 9/11/2006 - finally, a reason to forget about the disaster I witnessed 5 years before. She is the awesomest thing that has ever happened to me.
I'm getting the hang of this mommy thing. It changes all the time, but I'm taking it day by day and learning stuff as I go along. She teaches me new things every day (many related to sleep deprivation, but some more valuable life lessons like patience and selfless love.) I want to be the best mom I can. It is amazing to watch her grow and develop. She's 4 months old and already a little person, so different from the jellybean I gave birth to in September!
The song on my profile is by my employee! Or former employee. I didn't know he was this good. Go check him out, and go see him if you're in San Diego!!
I have a degree in Film from Vassar, love to take pictures, edit videos, create digital art and the occasional printed piece, and I have become a somewhat obsessive knitter.
I get computers. Nothing annoys me more than asking someone what their job is and getting "I do computer stuff," as a response. I do my share to make my employer a more luminous choice by directing marketing, website art, and all kinds of other stuff.
I feel like I'm sort of rambling now. I always come back to read these "about me" type summaries later and find that I left out something critical. I suppose what's critical will change from time to time.
I want to find my friends, and try to keep up with them. I want to make music, art and love in this world. And good food. And if all puppies could find good homes, I don't know what else I could wish for.

My Interests

Cycling, design, writing, art, makeup, music, reading. Wine.

I'd like to meet:

People who know stuff.

Artists, musicians, filmmakers, shopaholics like me, anyone who likes to do anything interesting, and occasionally people to sit and shoot the breeze without that crazy pressure to do and produce every moment.

I want to meet nice people who feel strongly about giving back to the world and improving what they can, and who want to be friends with me.

Music:

Johnny Cash, Beck, Oingo Boingo, the Dixie Chicks, Dar Williams, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Eminem, Madonna, Weezer, Le Tigre, anything from the 80s. This list is going to be revised frequently, I just know it.

Movies:

Grand Hotel, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, The Shawshank Redemption, Lost in Translation, The Big Sleep, Rear Window, Fight Club, Crash

Television:

Daily Show, Colbert Report, House of Cards (BBC), The West Wing, Sex and the City, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly

The crappiest night and the crappiest day.

Well, the night was anyway.I thought that Wednesday night was the crappiest night of not-really-sleeping I'd had so far since Sami was born. And I guess it was, but last night came along to show me j...

Big news day!

Yesterday, Sami rolled over. Twice. On the flat, hard bathroom floor (well, she was on the bathmat. But the point is that the floor doesn't slope or give like the bed mattress does. And she pushed...

My, how we've grown.

I rule them ALL. Originally uploaded by cinediva. Look at how Sami now rules the O-ball. This isn't my favorite recent picture of her with the O-ball, (this is) but it does a good job of char...
