- About me
- I'm a visual arts student who just built her own PC for graphic design? (and movies), I love my new LCD screen, I love conquering new cuisines when I cook, vegetarian-style, I love the state of Vermont and I love this country and I get so angry and sad about the current government. I am also mother to a little boy and I want to do my best to preserve whatever I can of what is good and just in the world for him.
- Interests
- umm, art & food, good books & travel, sex and rock & roll.
- Organizations I belong to
- vtimpeach.org, my local co-op
- Another website I think is cool
- http://www.vtimpeach.org
- Books
- Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen, anything by Terry Pratchett (lately) and I'm reading a book by the Dalai Lama about expanding compassion (How to Expand Love) but I'm having a hard time putting it into practice. Cookbooks. Moosewood Collective Cookbook (I highly recommend), King Arthur (flour) 200th Anniversary cookbook. Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn. Lately- anything at all by Terry Pratchett, especially though his latest Going Postal and the also very very good Thief of Time/ Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchett/ The Beekeeper's Apprentice or On the Segregation of the Queen by Laurie R. King and the rest of the Sherlock Holmes detective series with Mary Russell and the original, of course by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle/ Leaves of Grass; Song of Myself by Walt Whitman/ Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck by Charles Bukowski/ The Collected Works of E.E. Cummings/ Most poetry by Guillame Apollinare/ Most of the plays of William Shakespeare, including: The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, and Hamlet/ Yes, I am a Harry Potter fan/ Of course I like fantasy stories such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (I can quote parts!)/ The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy and Other Stories by Tim Burton
- Music
- Hem, some of The New Pornographers. Billy Holiday. Bollywood music. Mazzy Star, Suzanne Vega, The Pixies, Frank Black and the Catholics, Belle and Sebastian (only sometimes now), Stereolab, Cuban music, and oh so much more.... alright, here's a little more... some Elliot Smith, Pink Martini, Dengue Fever, Whiskeytown, Gillian Welch (and David Rawlings), getting into Wilco, sincerely enjoy some of The Jawhawks, I very much like the Wilco & Billy Bragg collaboration on Woody Guthrie songs called Mermaid Avenue, Nick Drake (lately, Time of No Reply), Bonnie Tyler's song Total Eclipse of the Heart, Imani Coppola, DAVID BOWIE! OH you pretty things...And if you like him in Portuguese, watch The Life Aquatic with Seu Jorge.... Velvet Underground ("Satellite's gone, up to the sky. Things like that drive me out of my mind.") George Gershwin, especially in the summer...and Classic Queen, the tape from 1978. Oh and Herb Alpert and the Tiijuana Brass, Roger Miller, and the one Bonnie Raitt song "Angel from Montgomery" which makes me cry about halfway through everytime. Electric 6 song "Fire in the Disco."
- Movies
- This is TV not movies but I own the dvds- ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER. and I used to really like Aqua Teen Hunger Force ( I have a crush on Meatwad even though I'm vegetarian.) The Life Aquatic, Party Girl , Benny and Joon, Charade, Roman Holiday, Bed Knobs and Broomsticks, most Marx Brothers movies, The ORIGINAL Pink Panther movies with PETER SELLERS, Indiana Jones 1 and 3, Kill Bill 1 and 2 but especially Kill Bill 1, Amelie, and Legend of the Drunken Master the younger Jackie Chan version. Comfort movies are black and white or sad and beautiful foreign films preferably involving martial arts or kick ass fight scenes. The last alright movie I saw was Little Miss Sunshine. I have a crush on Charlie Chaplin and I have the same birthday and Leo moon of actress Lauren Bacall (whose first movie ever- the one she fell in love with Humphrey Bogart in- Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not- is one of my all time favorite movies- "You don't know how to whistle Steve? It's easy, you just put your lips together and blow." WAY better chemistry and plot than Casablanca, even though Ingrid Bergman is gorgeous.)
- Heroes and influences
- my brother, my father, my grandmother, my friends, single moms everywhere, and George Washington Carver (the inventor of peanut butter, among other things... )

New Idea for Impeach/Anti-War Nationwide Demonstrations- "Die-Ins"
At least I think it could be very effective- here's the idea- you know
those anti-smoking demonstrations where they have, say, 11,000 people
surround a tobacco CEO building and fall down "dead" to demonstrate
how many people die everyday from tobacco related deaths???? Well, I'm
taking that idea and applying it to the number of dead soldiers so far
from each state. The Bush administration is not allowing photos of
body bags shipped from Iraq, we do not see the dead,… Continue

This is totally not related to impeachment- but
Has anyone ever had an allergic reaction to fiddleheads? These delicacies of the springtime in Vermont just gave me hives from head to foot- I'm on day 5 of the reaction, but the steroids are finally helping to relieve the swelling in my fingers, hence, the blogging... WTF? Fiddleheads? I've only ever had this happen with antibiotics before, oh well, at least it's not to chocolate or coffee or chili peppers. Lucky me. I should be glad I'm not starving in China too, as long as I'm counting my ble… Continue

KUCINICH 08' !!!!!
I have never felt this good about a candidate before, EVER. I've never totally agreed with a candidate like this and never trusted one immediately like this- even Al Gore and Howard Dean. I have never wept when listening to a speech- this guy was the youngest mayor of a major city (Cleveland, at age 31) and was voted to City Council at the age of 23- his family was poor, he knows what that can be like- they had to live in a car at one point for Godssake. Check out his blog on myspace and send it… Continue

"George Tushy"
My friend's son Aidan wanted me to share what he calls the president- he's the cute kid sticking out his tongue as a founding father in the rally picks.
and good news, my father does not have cancer of any kind.

Chemical Found in Rocket Fuel in Nation's Water Supply- Watch The Video

Check out this link to ABC News video about the hearings Congress is having about: ok, this is probably some form of plagarism but here's the article that goes with the video- if you know any mothers, this is good reason to install a water filtration system- no joke- and we can thank our defense dept. for possible brain development problems in our children!

Support the Troops Impeach Bush-Cheney Air Show VA Beach
After the last House vote when the Dems handed Bush everything he wanted in regards to Iraq, I have little or no use for the slick, safe politicians that the Democrats seem to be fielding. I bailed out of the Democratic party, as I have no desire to be a part of a party of such cowards and lack of conviction.

...but still vote for Kucinich!
