Reading. Writing. Growing my own food. Antiques. What takes up most of my time, though, is raising my kids to live in our crazy world without becoming assholes.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
Kathleen Edwards rocks. As does Pink Martini.
Right now I am liking Pattie Griffin, Dirtie Blonde, Los Lonely Boys, Dianne Reeves, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, hey oldies but goodies. Liking the new Brandi Carlile and yes, I like that song Girlfriend because it reminds me of the Go-Gos.
I like 80s alternative music (though the other day I saw it referred to as 80s college alternative?). Like Siouxsie, Depeche Mode, Melissa Etheridge before long hair, The Connells, U2 before Achtung Baby. Ooh, Dead Milkmen, Violent Femmes, The Ramones.
Grew up on The Eagles, Elton John and The Beatles, but somehow know the words to "Take A Chance on Me" by ABBA.
Check out Sirius Disorder, Channel 32. Finally -- authentic free-form progressive radio with no commercials.
Knocked Up was hilarious, if you've ever been pregnant and have experienced the irrationality that comes along with it. And the OB-GYN's! Holy shit.I liked The Painted Veil, deceptively subtle and beautiful and awesome.The Bourne Ultimatum -- I usually only like 007 but this rocked. Totally not according to the original book, though.300 was... pretty. Not historically accurate.The Simpsons was so worth the wait.
TV is crap.That said, I like The Tudors, The Sopranos, Dexter, Weeds and Entourage. Loving Californication. Can't wait for Say You Love Me on HBO.
I have a reading list a mile long. I like to read all the time. It all blends together... I can't list everything I like or want to read.
My kids. Just kidding. Not really. For putting up with me as a mother, they should get some kind of cape or award.
