About Me



I'm a cross between Small Wonder, Punky Brewster, and Jem (from Jem and Holograms). I like overcast weather and good walking shoes (thank you MBT). If I could eliminate one word from the English vocabulary it would be hella...no wait...tight....actually, ok....hella tight. I want to be on the show Supermarket Sweep and wear khaki pants while guessing the price of Mop & Glo. That would be hella tight. I make a really mean split pea and barley soup without the meat (sorry Bubbi). I have a habit of turning everyday conversation into spontaneous song "she WANTS to GET some coffee cause' its EARLY in the MORNING!" I've been told I call my close girlfriends "honey" and my close guyfriends "yo". Sometimes I call my close girlfriends "yo" but only if they are down. Not like down-syndrom down.

My Interests

Vintage jewelry, pilates, riding bicycles, shoes with a peep-toe, good improv, dancing, brussel sprouts, throwing clay on a wheel, calling the kettle black, fake tap-dancing, fake sign language, finding new and interesting ways of walking. A strong vocabulary. Shabbat dinner.

I'd like to meet:

Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold. Ok, that was from girl scouts..but oh so true.

Music:

These lists can be a little contrived...but nonetheless, here are some of my tunes: Arcade Fire, Beck, Patty Griffin, My Brightest Diamond, Sufjan Stevens, Badly Drawn Boy, Pinback, Air, Tribe Called Quest, Koop, Mark Farina, Elliot Smith, Billie Holiday, Doves, Z-Trip, Death Cab, Groove Armada, St. Germain, Ryan Adams, Thievery Corporation, Wilco, Iron and Wine, PJ Harvey, Morrissey, Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne....that's enough I think.

Television:

I can't help it. I love Project Runway. Bravo is so addicting.

Books:

Grace and Grit, Fear of Flying, The Wisdom of the Enneagram, Bel Canto, The Question of God, Sedaris books, Jane Austen, Kavalier and Clay, Authentic Happiness, The Power of TED

Dreams are overrated

Sunday I went to my graduation ceremony dressed in a black polyester moo-moo.  I debated in the morning which was more flattering to wear under a moo-moo: a dress or pants.  I went with the ...
