My Interests


You're Bettie Page, you wild thing. But then,
everyone knows you like to dominate.

Which Pinup Girl Are You?
brought to you by QuizillaAlso... I love cooking, shooting pool (on my pool table), darts, bar/lounge-hopping, singing, the theatre (on the stage, behind the scenes, in the audience, whatever!), sitting on my balcony sipping tea and chatting with my girlfriends on a sunny afternoon.My home away from home: www.firehousetheatre.org

I'd like to meet:

The Buddha, Cleopatra, plant-based alien life forms, John Cleese, Queen Latifah, Delores O'Riordan, Shirley Manson, Gwen Stefani, Georgia O'Keefe, King Arthur's Merlin, the witches of Salem, Jacques Cousteau... I'm sure I'll think of some more

Music:

I ADORE music! hmmm... jazz, blues. Billie Holliday. Bessie Smith. Yeah -- Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald rock my world. Patti Austin did an amazing tribute album to Ella Fitzgerald. In fact, although it's probably sacrilege, I have to say that she did a couple of the songs better than Ella!I'm addicted to Bjork, and it's almost always a good time for Garbage. No Doubt is fabulously fun to throw in while you're getting ready to go out.The special secret song on Tool's "Undertow" album will always be a fave. I also like some Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Old school Chili Peppers and Beastie Boys. Definitely Nirvana.Electronica is my driving music... totally dig the world beats too -- those drum beats bury themselves in my psyche and stir my soul. Of course, that leads to the sound that moves my soul more than any other: Dead Can Dance.

Movies:

Practical Magic, The Princess Bride, Blow-Up, anything Muppets, Cowboy Bebop, The Point of No Return, Donnie Darko, Wizards, The Secret of Nimh, Boondock Saints, Tank Girl, all of the Harry Potter movies, the original 3 Star Wars movies (4-6), The Dark Crystal, The Phantom of the Opera, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; The Life of Brian; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; The Breakfast Club; High Spirits; The Nightmare Before Christmas (Tim Burton is a genius!); Fried Green Tomatoes; Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (I know, I know - I'm a cheeseball); Bladerunner; Heathers; Edward Scissorhands; Beetlejuice; Grosse Pointe Blank; The Fifth Element; Sin City; Willow; The Neverending Story; Labyrinth; The Craft; Dead Poets Society; Good Morning, Vietnam; 12 Monkeys; Ghostbusters; The Ice Pirates; Underworld; Romancing the Stone (and "Jewel of the Nile"); The Witches of Eastwick; all of the Pink Panther movies; Wizards; The Pit and the Pendulum; Bell, Book and Candle; Coyote Ugly; Fight Club

Television:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab, Simpsons (still!), Boston Public, South Park, Who's Line Is It Anyway?, West Wing, Daria, occasionally get into some cheesy "reality" shows like Real World... but I try to stay away from them so they don't infect my psyche. I watch Saturday Night Live periodically - they go through phases of tremendous talent and a high entertainment value down to why-am-I-even-watching-this drudgery. I hate to admit it, but I still love the old M*A*S*H* series. Of course, any time I need a laugh, there's probably something good on Comedy Central - I love standup!.. width="425" height="350">.. ....>.. width="425" height="350">.. ....>

Books:

Stranger in a Strange Land; Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood; The Birthday Book; Under the Tuscan Sun; 1984; The Bell Jar; The Lorax (to this day, I can recite almost the whole thing); Il Principe; The Art of War; pretty much any Agatha Christie novel (they're great for airplane reading); cookbooks; Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the "trilogy"); all of the Harry Potter books; the "I, Robot" series; Snowcrash; The Illuminatus! Trilogy; Brave New World; The Foundation; call me a nut, but I really liked Tale of Two Cities... um, what else?

Heroes:

Excuse me, but that should be "Heroes/Heroines" Anyway, I admire certain qualities that can be found in a number of individuals, but I can't say that I revere any one of them. If you have honesty, loyalty, a healthy sense of humor, and wit, we'll probably get along.
