I am here for Friends

About Me

Isn't it always about ME? A friend recently told me I was flighty. I think he's on to something. ............................................................ .....................................

My Interests

Horses, and all their accessories. I'm also a crazy cat lady. Scary, isn't it.

I'd like to meet:

Well, since I can't meet Jimi Hendrix or Paul Wellstone, how about all sorts of people; someone who can amuse me. People who like horses, animals, music, wine, old houses, fixing up old houses, getting your groove on, gardening, making stuff, creative outlets, restaurants or really good food, movies, books, going places, animals, nature, saving our streams, sanding my floors, walking around with your head in the clouds, yoga, getting lost, or just general good times.

Music:

The Pixies, Damien Marly, Bob Marley, The Smiths, Radiohead, David Bowie, De la Soul, Flaming Lips, Ryan Adams, White Stripes, Public Enemy, Soul Coughing, Toadies, Nirvana, Allmighty Senators, Joy Division, The Thrushes, Lake Trout, Weezer, Beck, Outkast, Al Green, Led Zeppelin, Pepe Romero, The Strokes, The Killers, Townes van Zandt, Peter Bjorn, anything funky on general principles .... Anything that moves me.

Movies:

Fargo ... need I say more? OK, I will. My favorite movies have been (in no particular order) My Life as a Dog, Ridicule, Six Degrees of Separation, High Fidelity, The Name of the Rose, Glory, Miss Firecracker, Raising Arizona, Swarm of the Snakeheads, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and those Lord of the Rings. Once I dreamt I was Gollum ... that was creepy, no that was fun. Napolean Dynamite, This is Spinal Tap, The Gods Must be Crazy, Little Miss Sunshine, Once, Control.

Television:

My favorite TV show is the Wire. I like Jon Stewart too. The funniest show ever was Dave Chapelle's Show and I am very sad it is over. Apparently, I am very, very white. Stuff White People Like

Books:

Let's say I was stranded on a desert island and I got to pick 5 books. Here goes: Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe (I love this gem and could read it over and over, like a fourth grader.) When Things Fall Apart - Pema Chodron (Because I'd get really sad being stranded and want to make sense of it all. I've read it 7 times since 2003, but is that really enough?) I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith (This book puts me in a happy place.) Some miscellaneous book on Numerology, because once again, I'd have a need to make sense of it all. Crime and Punishment - Dostoyevsky, this would allow for endless self discussions and whig outs.I'd also want the everything by Laura Lippman, seeing as I'd be missing out on the Baltimore grime and crime, but that's way more than 5 books.

ROLEX 2008

Well, I've been talking about going to ROLEX for about 10 years now and I finally went. All's I can say is that they don't call it MECCA for nothing. In my world, this is like the SUPERBowl. We had mo...

Bobbin

Sooo, Pepe didn't come to me in a dream this time. Andrea told me about his little dude. Apparently Sanford and Son moved back to North Carollina and left the kitties behind. A neighbor fed them until...

NYE at Camp Denny

The BEST weekend ever. It was rather surreal. I met up with 18 friends and 15 horses at what we coined "Camp Denny", for a clinic and gathering at Olympic rider, Denny Emerson's Tamarack Hill Farmin...

Wednesday, January 17th, I put on some pointy-toed shoes and a dress and went to the O'Malley Inagural Ball. It was such a festive atmousphere, so many happy looking democrats drinking Guinness. The...

In case you were wondering ....

Because I'm sure people sit around scratching their heads thinking "what's up with the name?" I switched from my heavy metal name (with Zs) to my funkadelic name. Carry on....

My social calendar is either feast or famine

Well, first, there was Thanksgiving, which is always fun, and then the loooooooong dog walk with Sampson, Killy & Andrea, but sadly no fun pictures. Saturday, I made the trip down to D.C and&...

My Day at the Races

And not horse races!  My older brother has a '69 Pontiac Firebird that he takes in NHRA drag races.  He came up to race in September, and this was the first time we watched. My brother put o...

More fun than humans should be allowed

So, I met up with my friends on October 8th. We rode, went over a bunch of jumps and then had lunch of course. I got to ride Maddie (Hektor had to stay home.) She's a little firecracker. And we took L...
