Blah...I knew I'd get sucked into this eventually....

About Me

California native somehow coerced happily into moving to New England from the Bay Area in 2002. Married, mortgaged, and a Mum to a very independant toddler boy currently obsessed by 'Big Boats'...and won't stop going on about Big Big Plane since our recent trip to Oakland.Also a Discordian office manager extraordinaire for 70+ lucky folk in Boston.

My Interests

Reading, travel, camping, walking, cheesy b horror and sci-fi movies.

I'd like to meet:

People that show an interest in the greater world, damnit.

Music:

Anything that doesn't resemble beer-swilling, wife-beating country music.

Movies:

Horror, action, sci-fi, spaghetti western, period pieces, Masterpiece Theater, etc

Television:

Simpsons, Daily Show...and I can't help but watch VH1 when they air I love the 70's, 80's, 90's stuff. Mostly don't have time when chasing Super Beast Milo around the house. Battlestar Gallactica...holy crap! Starbuck offing herself? Why the hell did they do that to torture me and others addicted to that damned show and storyline?! BASTARDS!

Books:

Historical Romance, modern classics...and can't wait to get my hands on Un Lun Dun by China Miéville. Milo's current favorites include The Little Cat Baby, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom...and the kid recites Curious George. (If he's doing this crap now, we're in soooo much trouble later on...)

Heroes:

Jon Stewart, Margaret Sanger, all the staff at Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport that got me through labor :)

My Blog

Geese are FOUL!

I'm beginning to hate them.  Not so much the honking or the picturesque way they gather on lawns. Rather they hang out on the roadway and turn my 13 minute commute to the Newburyport train statio...

Playground altercation

I cannot remember the last time I was angry enough to want to cause physical hurt to anyone.  However, I think I have had my first taste of what I'm sure will be many angry moments this afternoon...
