About Me

I'm a usability researcher for a large tax software company in the day time, and an artist in my free time. My husband and I share a loft in Deep Ellum with our three cats, his DJ equipment, and my easel. I love my Mini Cooper, Beaker, the best Christmas present ever.I am awful about checking this page regularly, so if you are curious, I log pretty regularly in my LiveJournal , and I keep most of my pictures on my Flickr account . Every once and awhile, I also update my media blog Hiss Hiss Purr with reviews of books and movies I watch.I keep a web site with pics of my paintings and other projects, at StephArt .

My Interests

Acrylics, pastels, books, movies, dancing, crosswords, logic puzzles, cats

I'd like to meet:

Old friends and new friends.

Music:

I like pretty much anything, but in particular: Aimee Mann, Portishead, Goldfrapp, Jem, Damien Rice, Ryan Adams, Sarah Bettens, K's Choice, k.d.Lang, R.E.M., U2, Lamb, Boomkat, Allison Moorer, Shelby Lynne, Leona Naess, The Ditty Bops, Paul Oakenfold, Suzanne Vega, New Order, old 80's retro and New Wave, Mozart, Bach, Annie Lennox, Black Crowes, Radiohead, The Chieftans, The Corrs, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Moby, Massive Attack, Shawn Colvin, Mint Royale

Movies:

I love watching movies, but I really love old horror and sci fi movies. I'm not adverse to watching even the really, really bad ones. I am especially in love with foreign horror and suspense like Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, and a whole grab bag of Asian Horror, but especially Takashi Miike.

Television:

X-Files, Buffy, Lost, Bones, Poirot, Midsomer Murders (pretty much any BBC mystery show), CSI (all flavors), Battlestar Galactica, Invader Zim

Books:

I'll read just about anything. I have a goal to reach 100 books again this year (including The Dark Tower series by Stephen King and at least 10 non fiction and 10 classics). So far I am a little behind. Right now I am on a mystery kick, and my favorites so far there are Jasper Fforde, Agatha Christie, Stephanie Barron, Carl Haissen, and James Ellroy.

Heroes:

My family, Virginia Woolf, Georgia O'Keefe, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker

Weird Japanese Movie

I am watching a very strange Japanese horror movie called Evil Dead Trap. It's like a cross between 8MM and anything by David Cronenberg. We've got torture, snuff films, and now maggots falling on the...

Stupid Teeth

Life has gotten fairly crazy. This year has been one that I swear I would like to never repeat. On top of car issues (poor Beaker!), my Aunt losing her fight against a really nasty lung cancer, bad br...
