My Interests

Everything. I know that sounds way vague; but to quote Swami Kripalu: "To perform every action artfully is Yoga." I can find enjoyment from watching great film to doing the dishes." It's a frame of mind yo!

I'd like to meet:

mmmm. Whomever life brings along my path. If I am destined to meet them then I will. People not afraid to show their inner dork. Michael Franti--again because he inspires me daily. I hope he's on my path.I'm covered in BEES!!!Covered In Bees
..THIS ANDREW BIRD VIDEO OF WHY IS ONE OF THE SEXIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN. SERIOUSLY. I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT...

Music:

I guess I'm an old school alterna chick, PIXIES- Jane's-Dino JR, NIN,Sonic Youth, Radiohead,Bosstones, Morphine. Beastie Boys. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Pete Yorn is yummalicious. Michael Franti & Spearhead, Leonard Cohen. Andrew Bird. "Damn Hippity Hop": Mos Def, Tribe Called Quest, Saul Williams. (my car does have subwoofer and I'm not afraid to use it!) Liz Phair, PJ Harvey & Bikini Kill for my angry at boys music. Newer bands: Interpol,Muse, Scandal in Bohemia-- Yay Sethy!, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs(Thanks to Jenn!)I also like me some Girl Power Singers-- Ella, Billie, Sarah, Etta & Nina Simone. Slow Sundays filled with rich coffee and my ladies. Nothin' finer.

Movies:

Harder for me to list then Music! #1 Far From Heaven. Buffalo '66, Brown Bunny, Boondock Saints, SPACEBALLS, Momento,Run Lola Run, Donnie Darko, The Proposition(Australian western written by Nick Cave!) True Romance, Kill Bills etc. Quentin fan big time, All Kevin Smith(I can't help myself) Fight Club. Zodiac. Ghost World. I'm also a foreign film junkie. Guiltiest pleasure = Zombie Movies. fucking luv 'em. Big yays for Charlie Wilson's War. Aaron Sorkin rokks it the hardest of cores! THERE WILL BE BLOOD. This is Citizen Kane level shit ya'll! Can't help myself. This one is too hard, just come over and look at my DVDs.

Television:

I can admit it- I'm a buffy-o-holic! Joss rocks. West Wing (amazing acting and editing.) old cop show set in Baltimore: Homicide. This was truly some top-notch editing in the"in the box" scenes. The Tick cartoon. ROBOT CHICKEN! Anthony Bordains travel show. He is a true New Yorker who says shit like " the producers want me to say something about this waterfall, It's a fucking waterfall, you can see how beautiful it is, it's water and it's falling into this pool." Cracks my shit up. And of course the Daily Show.Although I don't know why Jon Stewart keeps ragging on Death to Smoochie. I loved it! AM's I'm a headline news kinda gal.

Books:

Edith Wharton still! I'll read some of her paragraphs, and then have to put the book down to absorb how great it is. I'll tell you right now that Thomas Wolfe is the Woody Allen of the literary world. Want to know more about that, just ask. Palahniuk's the shiznet, Bukowski. (what can I say- I like a good mind-fuck.) Amy Tan, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Garcia Marquez. A Dove of the East, Mark Helprin. Seriously kick ass! Currently =Atonement.

Heroes:

Michael Moore. my parents. Jane Addams. ( Hull House ) Mother Theresa. You know,people who have lived a life of compassion.
