music (all kinds), live shows, writing, dancing, costuming, NOLA, laughing, drinking (wine and jameson whiskey), photography (learning), pictures of feet, debating, existentialism, reciprocity, rainy day naps (and naps on any other day), gardening (i can drop hundreds of dollars at a plant nursery), tattoos (i have 7), pin-up girls (i am one in my dreams), ebay, googling things (solution to lack of time for voracious reading), informed opinions (otherwise they're like a-holes and mean nothing to me since everybody's got one), public television and radio (support your local public station!), imagination in the midst of reality, all things family and friends
I'd like to meet:
no one in particular...unless of course you like to laugh, debate, think, drink, and be a part of the occasional silly shenanigan, then i want to meet you...BUT: whiny, high maintenance, judgmental prudes need not apply, esp ones prone to throwing stones while perched on a high horse sitting 'pretty' in a glass house. toxic drama queens beware: your asses are the kind i like to kick.
Music:
Yes, please...I like it a lot. I will do my best to go into detail. ani difranco, portishead, pj harvey, ben harper, cowboy junkies, jack johnson, ray lamontagne, g love, marc broussard, jason mraz, zero 7, the ditty bops, sia, esthero, sade, guster, bebel gilberto, pink martini, res, the new orleans bingo! show, morning 40 federation, linnzi zaorski, tori amos, sarah mclachlan, diana krall, natalie merchant, daft punk, the brand new heavies, gogol bordello, devotchka, the john butler trio, the dresden dolls, emiliana torrini...crap, a whole lot more. tune in for updates.
Movies:
mainly independent films and anything by woody allen.
Television:
history, national geographic, discovery, IFC, sundance, scifi...and wow wow wubbzy on noggin...but, all in all, i don't watch much TV. too many other creative and useful things to do.
Books:
don't really have time anymore, but there have been a few in the past that have made an impact: madness, amusing ourselves to death; bury me standing; media monopoly; girl, interrupted; letters to a young poet; inherit the wind; the worst of times; confessions of a failed southern lady; for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf; all in the harry potter series; and more. hopefully, will find a spot once again in my hectic life to absorb more literary wonder.KID'S BOOKS: miss spider's tea party, brown bear, where the wild things are, ten apples up on top, MANY MORE DR. SEUSS BOOKS!
Heroes:
my kids, joshua carlos and julia marie, and those who never quit.
