design and dance....that's me! busy, busy!

About Me

I am now graduated from college (yay!) and working at a great design firm while still being married to the best man in the world (for more than 5 years). We also own a house together in Oklahoma City that needs a lot of attention and we own the two greatest cats I have ever met. Oh yeah, and I love dancing of all kinds.....my current fave is belly dancing! So much fun!

My Interests

Graphic design, illustration, art, and anything that has to do with design! I also love dancing of any kind but particularly belly dancing!!!! I'm also into folk dancing, historical dancing, traditional dancing, and any kind of ethnic dancing. Sewing and costuming also interests me a lot as well, I have a collection of Renaissance gowns I have made.

I'd like to meet:

Not really sure...maybe Neil Gaiman (great novelist, children's book author, and graphic novel author) or there's always Johnny Depp (I love most of his movies)....Rachel Brice (awesome belly dancer!) plus lots of other great belly dancers!.......there's also a slew of illustrators I'd like to meet.....Jim LaMarche, Kinuko Craft, Chris Van Allsburg, etc.....

Music:

I love an eclectic mix of music: Middle-Eastern/World stuff (radio ioworld), Natacha Atlas, Turku, The Toids, Norah Jones, White Stripes, Andrew Bird, Dixie Chicks, PJ Harvey, classical stuff like Mozart and Bach, Cowboy Junkies, Madeleine Peyroux, Jewel, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Rasputina, Sheryl Crow, oldtimey music from "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" and anything that is jazzy/big band....the list goes on.

Movies:

This is a tough one, I like all kinds of movies including: Pirates of the Carribean 1 & 2, Mirrormask, Best In Show, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Serenity, Shakespeare in Love, Shawn of the Dead, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Harry Potter movies, Napoleon Dynamite, Dodgeball, Office Space, and Pride and Prejudice.......

Television:

I watch Heroes, House, hbo shows Rome & Deadwood, Veronica Mars, the 4400, Dead Like Me, re-runs of Law and Order (they are so addictive), Firefly (on DVD), Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, and anything on HGTV or TLC that is design/home related...

Books:

I really like Neil Gaiman books (American Gods, Neverwhere, The Wolves in the Walls), and I love historical novels, I just read The Historian (about Dracula) which I loved, I also like Phillipa Gregory novels (set in the 16th century), Harry Potter books are great, and I'm a sucker for Dean Koontz novels, I also love reading design and illustration books (I'm starting I really nice collection)...

My Blog

Tired & Inspired.....
