The Penguin is Ready to Fly!

About Me

People rock. Message me. You only live once.

My Interests

Asian & Latino culture & music, my awesome little boy, spam musubi, horses/animals, dreams, fantasies, jungian psychology, and the great beyond.

I'd like to meet:

You.

Music:

...pretty much all of it...

Movies:

NickJr DVDs. Not my choice. We compromise with Miyazaki animes.

Television:

NickJr. Again, not my choice.

Books:

Right now, Des Barres 'Let's Spend the night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies.' Evanovich, Twyla Tharp's The Creative Habit, & 'The Out of Sync Child' by Kranowitz. Anything by John Burdett.. I love his views of Asian culture and philosophy. Louise Rafkin's 'Other People's Dirt,' which deserves classics status. The Competitive Runner's Handbook by the Glovers, Jack Daniel's Running Formula and Pfitzinger's Advanced Marathoning, which I refer to for coaching.

Heroes:

Badtz Maru, Ysamur Flores Pena y familia, Mary Jane Eisenberg, Young-Ae Park, Marie Waters (former head of Reference at YRL, UCLA)

LACMA a la 5 yr old

We had gale force winds on our walk to get to the LA County Museum of Art, to the point of umbrella inversion. One museum goer (a very fey museum goer so you can get the 'accent') said "Oh my Gawd lit...

Right under your nose... :)

For Christmas Eve, my parents and ex husband graciously offered to be with my son, while I went to get my back evaluated for physical therapy and on a whim had a manicure and pedicure.   I then ...
