About Me

i: am chicana, love film, teach film, dig sushi from komasa, have a dog and a man that i adore, am getting my phd, miss my san anto homegirls (BTM 4-eva!), hope the san anto guys know they are included in that homegirl shout out, hate to wake up, love to smoke and drink and dance and yell, miss flour tortillas and good chorizo con huevo, have it better than most but not half as good as i deserve, am old on the inside but can kick your ass.

My Interests

i like to think about stuff. what stuff does, how stuff tastes, what stuff should be dating and why. i aim to make a living thinking about stuff and helping other people think about other stuff so we can all think about stuff together and change the stuff we don't like. and stuff.

I'd like to meet:

all the people i know or used to know or think i know...you know who you are.

Music:

here, i will admit a long lasting love affair with stringy, angsty boys in black that sing about all the things you expect them to: the smiths, the cure, depeche mode. and some of the newer knock-offs: interpol, the killers, etc. but i love a hip-hop beat best, something i can move to and get a groove on the floor, be it living room or dance hall. i like to kick it old school, but i'm not a stranger to the newer kids on the block.

Movies:

classics like HACKERS. (brilliant.) and ORLANDO, BULWORTH, GILDA, WEST SIDE STORY, ALL THAT JAZZ, BROKEBACK MTN, ROMIE & MICHELLE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION, SIXTEEN CANDLES, THE SQUID & THE WHALE, I can go on. but HACKERS is the best by far...

Television:

reality, baby. i love the crap, like BEAUTY & THE GEEK. but i do have standards -- i did not make it past the first episode of Brittainy and Kevin's CHAOTIC (shudder). i am TOTALLY digging PROJECT RUNWAY. but i do enjoy (traditionally) scripted television, like ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, SCRUBS, MY NAME IS EARL, MONK and MTV (when they actually play music videos!).

Books:

so little time for fiction, but i dug GEEK LOVE, THE CORRECTIONS, PERFUME and THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY. my favorite acadmic books (the most i get these days) are richard dyer's WHITE and adrienne mclean's BECOMING RITA HAYWORTH.

Heroes:

my mama and papa.
