Things that make me feel alive... dancing into the wee hours, really good music, a good bottle of red, dusk, the ocean. Dancing salsa, and oriental ( belly dance for the less savvy). I would love to learn tango, if you have ever tried it you know why... I am a traveler at heart (&by profession)- I love to wander and explore new places. I like to swim at the Yuba, day or night. When I am not running around, I love hiking, reading, sewing, and baking.
Friends,dance & music people.
Where do I start? My fav's change and they are all over the place. Currently loving Quando Quando by Michael Buble& Nelly Furtado (makes me crazY- have you heard it?) Bright Eyes, Saves the Day,Mary J. Blige... there are of course all time fav's that I go back to at times... Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin;too many to name, and too nostalgic.
Pride& Prejudice (the old one), Garden State, Chasing Amy, Mall Rats, Napolean Dynamite, Dangerous Beauty, Moll Flanders, Kama Sutra, Lachtro Drom, Sabrina, Somewhere in Time, Songcatcher, Queen Margot. Obviously there is a theme here... sensual, historic, romantic... or quirky and smart. And definitely not too violent.
Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Gilmore Girls, Monarch of the Glen, Ab Fab.
Anna Karenina, Mists of Avalon, anything Isabelle Allende, and Anita Shreve. Mostly historical fiction and biographies.
My sweet mom and grandmothers.
