About Me

I am a crazy kid trapped in an adult body...but at least I can get into the good shows....
music, movies, art, friends, ocean, quiet and solitude, loud live shows, my cats, my kids, my ongoing project of a house...I love it all.
Especially my crazy friends!! I would like to meet more cool people like the ones at Amanda's Birthday Party!! Whack that Pinata Amanda! Thanks for the video Jenn!! Amanda Strawberry knock out!

I do not take certain movies well...the following is a clip from "Dancer in the Dark" with Peter Stormare and Bjork with a song called "I've Seen it All". This movie tore my heart out through my chest cavity. I didn't leave the house for a full day. Excellent movie (for those who can follow slower european style films.) but beware the end.

Jamestown Bridge Demolition---- Note: A challenge (when we were teenagers) was to drive over the old Jamestown Bridge (which had open grating on the mid section) and as a passenger, to stick your head out the window and look straight down. The lanes were very narrow, the grating caused the car to sway, it was amazing none of us had our heads ripped off in the process. Tripping view though! Now I travel the new one every day I go to work. Not half as fun!
