About Me

Just being me.

My Interests

There are so many. I love all things creative. I really get into collecting vintage beauty products. I have a few pictures on here. I also really adore pinups both old and new. Though the thing I've noticed about the newer girls is that some of them shouldn't speak. Not many, mind you, but there are a few. I don't know about the vintage ones. I never read what they had to say. They never had myspace pages. Thank Goodness.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone ready to take enough time out of what they're doing to talk to me. People always seems to scurry around like little ants in my opinion. You have to reach down and sqeeze one on your fingertip for a second to get it to stop and take notice of you. Just don't squeeze too hard.

Music:

Hot Jazz and swing. Anything with double entendres or innuendo.

Movies:

I love Baz Luhrman Films. Pixar....anything I could have imagined myself as an art director on. I Heart Huckabees, The Impostors, and A Mighty Wind are my 3 favorites.

Television:

Alot of Showtime: Penn & Teller, This American Life, Dexter. Anything on PBS or the History Channel. I've been digging on all the apocolpyse theories, 2012 and the like that we've been bombarded with. Also I love forsensic shows and the original CSI. And my secret vice is Snapped for some reason.

Books:

I just finished The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. What a wild ride that was! That was probably the most page turning book I have ever picked up. And it's truly an experience in and of itself. Just a long strange trip down the path of one's own inner demons. There are a few things dealing with other religions that I am desperate to find out more about, but generally, it felt like many of the same conclusions he drew (or alluded to drawing of course) reguarding modern religious beliefs, I had already come to on my own. But it was great to hear most of it echoed, and he does sort of leave the final thoughts up to the reader to determine what to take from your own spirital ideals. Just be aware that yours are not the only views around.

Heroes:

Anyone who gets through this life without collapsing on a daily basis. My family. Someday they'll figure me out, but I admire most of them from afar. Tad, he's a wonder. Toby and Rachel.

hair

I put rolls in my hair for the first time this morning. I have no idea how women went to all that trouble every single day back in the 40's. I must say that it does look good. Worth all the hassl...

Career change, or...I hate people.

So I started work as a photographer recently. What's good about it is the fact that I have a real knack for the whole thing. What's not so good is that it's for the portrait studio at Wal-mart. What's...

Waitress Rant .1: The saga begins

I have no idea how my mother raised two kids and bought a house by waitressing. Though I do think where I've gone wrong is that she worked at Disney's Polynesian Resort Hotel. And I work at Shoney's. ...
