About Me

Stupidity makes me laugh. Tripping on one's own feet makes me laugh more. Also, I know the difference between you're and your. And their, there, and they're. It's tricky I know.

Star Wars Horoscope for Sagittarius
You are superbly wise and have been known to spread your wisdom widely.
You are impatient and pushy when people take your teachings too lightly.
And your philosophical side always peeks through.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Wonder Woman, Buffy, Buddha, and the girls from Northern State. I also wouldn't mind meeting people who believe sarcasm is an artform, who think rational thought is beautiful, and who can give me a run for my money in a game of scrabble.

And this guy (Bill Moyer, as he listened to Bush talk at a veterans thing):

Music:

The Shins, Johnny Cash, Imogen Heap, Tori Amos, The Raveonettes, Corinne Bailey Rae, Ani DiFranco, Debbie Gibson - the early years, Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Lisa Loeb, Tegan and Sara, PJ Harvey, and many others that aren't on my playlist at work.

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine, Garden State, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Hairspray, Blue Velvet, Shakespeare in Love, LOTR, Kill Bill (both), Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version), anything Lynch or Waters, Bridget Jones' Diary, Donnie Darko, Empire Records, and Pump Up the Volume

Television:

TV is good... yummm.... Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Heroes, Lost (when I'm not annoyed by it), Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, most things on Bravo, and the oldies: Buffy, Felicity, Daria, and Sophia, Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche. DVR is my godsend.

Books:

Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, Sorrows of Young Werther, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, House of Mirth, and anything by the following: P.G. Wodehouse, Margaret Atwood, Jasper Fforde, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Leo Tolstoy, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Oh, and I have been known to read and re-read a certain series of books focusing on the magical world of a young wizard named Harry.

Heroes:

Wonder Woman, Buffy, and Buddha (I think an analysis of the three will show they have much in common.)

I'm all aflutter - in a bad way.

I just got in a fight with a friend. I said some general things that she took personally. I apologized and everything because I wasn't referring to her or her situation but I'm not sure it's okay yet....

How great is this? It woulda been funnier if he'd actually burned his nipple. (At least that's my take.)   And do I love the mall? I think so.   Okay, so I've had a few. Enough to make me ...

Ani DiFranco is my new hero...

Her newest album is so, so good. Here's one of my favorites from it (a bit of beat poetry, which is actually saying a lot given my intense dislike of most things called "poetry"): parameters thirty-t...
