Music
I like just about anything that's not rap, hip-hop, or country. My favorites include Cyndi Lauper, Gaia Consort, Ominotago, Afro-Celt Sound System, Staind, Evanescense, Three Days Grace, Rusted Root ...
Movies
In no particular order: Chocolat, To Kill A Mockingbird, Big Fish, Waking Ned Devine, Narnia, Shawshank Redemption, Stardust, Hedwig & the Angry Inch, The Handmaid's Tale, Gypsy 83, A Knight's Tale, and just about anything else with Heath-baby Ledger.
TV
Don't really watch tv. I used to like X Files and Northern Exposure. Alton Brown on the Food Network is pretty entertaining.
Books
1. Reincarnation - Paulson & Paulson
2. The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle
3. The Sea Priestess - Dion Fortune
4. Confessions of a Pagan Nun - Kate Horsley
There's not enough space to list all my favorite books. Favorite authors include Charles de Lint, Anne Rice, Margaret Atwood, Emma Bull, the Bronte sisters, Christopher Moore, the Meredith Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton, Charles Dickens ... the list goes on and on.
Likes
Dark chocolate, my dogs, ren faires, sex, bicycles and touring, urban fantasy, tattoos, music, thunderstorms at night, kissing, trees, naps, laughter, books, shiny things, the words "serendipity" and "figgy pudding", and interesting conversation.
Dislikes
Organ meats, stupidity, liars, Komodo dragons, halitosis, burnt popcorn, cold weather, and people who list "writting" as a hobby. Also the words "scrod" and "spurt", which makes me uncomfortable for some unknown reason.
Hobbies
I make soap, paper, and books by hand. I write short stories, usually involving sex and/or murders. I like dressing up and going to ren faires. I like to ride bikes, camp, hike and canoe. Um ... other stuff too.
Vices
None. I'm like Mary Poppins: Practically Perfect In Every Way. But my guilty pleasures include American Idol and the song "Penny & Me" by Hanson.
Virtues
See above answer. *adjusts halo*
Heroes
Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Beatrix Potter, Boudiccea and Bettie Page! People who are true to themselves.
It's hard to distinguish the babies but a family of Canada geese were feeding by the bike path. A runner went past just as I was taking this pic and the geese retreated.
The Mighty Mississip! Not really, just a very swollen Olentangy River.
I found this bunny just inside the OSU Wetlands. There is something going on with the local raccoon population. They're sick! I'm not sure if it's rabies but I have seen two of them in about the same location in the wetlands and both were out in the daytime, looking dazed. One was sitting in the middle of the path and the one I saw yesterday was sitting in the grass. They almost look drunk, all glassy-eyed and tottery.
The wetlands. Sometimes you can see herons here. Yesterday I just saw an assortment of ducks and geese.
I don't know who lives in this tree but I think we're related! I just love Northmoor Park and I'm so lucky I live nearby!
This tree, also in Northmoor Park, has built-in bookshelves! The line of trees behind this one is also very appealing. They're in the same park as the Sisters, but on the other side of the bike path. Maybe these are the Brothers?
Absolutely agree that low blood sugar was a trigger for the headache, plus I was driving in the sun without shades, plus my blood pressure has been sky high (no doctor needed to tell me that - I can feel it). The blood pressure situation was the reason I had to take myself in hand.
This is more a detox than a diet. After a few days I will be back on a range of healthy foods, with the intention it will be more balanced and LESS !!!
how goes the publishin' ????
