About Me

I'm married to Zack who's a musician, sound engineer and producer. We own a recording studio in Downtown Sacramento called Octopus Audio but most people know it as Earshot. I have 3 kids; Lauren (11!!) who wants pink hair like her mom used to have and Spencer (3) who probably doesn't and baby Violet. I live in Citrus Heights and feel like I am busy every second of the day most days. I love music, listening to it and playing it. However, I am not all that fabulous at playing it mostly due to not really having a lot of time to practice. I am just now trying to resign myself to the fact that I will probably not make a million in a punk rock band. While I am selling out I guess I have to give props or whatever to this dude...

My Interests

Roald Dahl, Weird Al, John Cleese, Janeane Garafalo, Margaret Cho

Some of the bands I am influenced by currently and historically are: Mister Gutterball, Mr. T Experiece, Logan Whitehurst and the Junior Science Club, The Fleshies, Removal, DEVO, All Night Chemists, Bouncing Souls, Franz Ferdinand, The Eyeliners, Screeching Weasel, Dropkick Murphys, ACDC, Operation Ivy, Ann Beretta, Louis Prima, The Pattern, White Stripes, New York Dolls, The Kinks, Parliament, Outkast, System of a Down, Ramones, Louis XIV, The Jam, The Police, The WHO, Groovie Ghoulies, 7 Seconds, Charles Mingus, Black Sabbath, Knockoffs, Sonic Youth, Luckie Strike (hi Mel and Liz), The Vandals, Man or Astroman, Satans Pilgrims, Decendents, Fu Manchu, The Living End, Go Sailor, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Beach Boys, Killers, Teen Idols, Supergrass, The Strokes, English Beat, The Hives, Brave Combo, The Bravery, Queens of the Stone Age, Henry Mancini, Hot Hot Heat, Kasabian, Madness, Rage Against the Machine and Weezer.

Television:

Simpsons, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Spacelab, Daria, Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, Keeping Up Appearances, Seinfeld, Family Guy, The Venture Brothers....Actually almost anything on Adult Swim. My Name is Earl is one of my faves.
I hate "reality" shows! I love cartoons. I like Cosmos, but it annoys me when my husband wants to watch it for hours on end. The Soup and Good Eats are great!

Books:

I'm reading "Mao, The Unknown Story". Chinese history is so depressing but so interesting. Oh and "Pledged" is confirming my thoughts at a younger age that I am not really a sorority type girl. Chick-Lit is usually fun like the Shopaholic books. Great for a beach read and when I just need something fun and easy on the brain cells.
I just finished "Julie and Julia", "Saving Fish From Drowning" and "The Time Travelers Wife" which was one of the best books I have ever read.

Heroes:

Dr. Frank, S.Britt, Trent Lane, Josh Agle, Zorak, Arthur "Killer" Kane, Spencer, Albert Einstein, my mom, your mom.

A wee little snippet of an update.

As far as my spot goes...in re-reading the last blog about the skin cancer I realize that it probably sounds worse than it really is. Just to clarify: it's really not a big deal. I have successfully...
