    Humuhumu's Interests
GeneralMy main passions, the things I get up for in the morning, and the things that keep me up way past my bedtime: geekery & tiki.

Beyond those two things, my interests also include vintage clothing, Disneyland & Disney animation, road trips & impromptu travel, databases & programming, doing stoopid shit and making stuff. I keep a blog of my more random interests, and it's called Junkyard Clubhouse.

Some stuff I've made: this dress, this home bar, this website, this bacon costume, and the software to run this DNA sequencing facility.

If I'm in L.A., Wednesdays at Tiki-Ti. If I'm in the Bay Area, Thursdays at Forbidden Island.

I'm inordinately fond of cheese.

Come see the rest of my collection on Ooga-Mooga

MusicMy cd collection is increasingly made up of mix cds made by friends who have a devotion to vinyl I frankly lack. I eagerly soak up these cds, they have turned me onto all kinds of music I wouldn't have otherwise found. I'm always happy to get another mix cd from my dear musical sherpa friends.

My favorite musical experiences all involve tiny venues, bands whose members I consider friends, and me dancing.

I just bought a ukulele. I'm terrible on it, but hey, it's a ukulele--expectations are generally low. Sometimes I put snail shells on my fingers and use them as castanets.

Luie Luie. Not Louie, Louie. Luie Luie.

Hanford is my DJ.

It is also worth noting that the song Sleepwalk is my Kryptonite.

MoviesI've got quite the swank home theater setup, but it goes neglected these days. I just travel too much. Sadly, most of the movies I've seen in the past year have been the ones selected for me by airlines. They have terrible taste.

A few of my favorites: Box of Moonlight, Brazil, Fantasia, Sexy Beast, Three Caballeros, Amelie, Evil Dead 2, the Wallace & Gromit shorts, Bottle Rocket, Dr. Strangelove, I Am Cuba, Triplets of Belleville, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Lone Star.

TelevisionSandra Lee's Semi-Homemade is good for laffs. And I love King of the Hill, I tell you whut.
BooksA Prayer for Owen Meany, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Confederacy of Dunces, Sandman, The Chosen, Fifth Business, Programming Perl aka the Camel, The Book of Tiki, Molecular Cell Biology, Bill Bryson, Radix, Snow Crash, the dictionary, Budget Travel

About me:


http://www.humuhumu.com

My real name is Michelle, but most of my friends call me Humuhumu.

I'm big on creating. These days I get to create stuff for a living, which is neat.

I am a tikiphile, a midcentury Polynesian Pop enthusiast. Click here if you share my passion, or if you simply want to know what the hell I'm talking about.

I take a lot of photographs... with an emphasis on quantity, not quality. 10,000 pics and counting... don't be shy, click that link. They're there to share.

I suspect that I see the world as being about 15% better than it actually is. My life is overromanticized, oversaturated 70mm Technicolor. That's okay by me.

I made these:

I'm always happy. Really. Very rarely do I get sad, and it passes quickly. I'm Miss Mary Fucking Sunshine.

t(-_-t)
 

Who I'd like to meet:

My friends list is only for people I know — friends I've actually met.

If you know me from my sites, and want to add me on MySpace, that's great!
I have a special profile for that: Ooga-Mooga on MySpace

Just randomly saying "Want to be friends?" might have worked as a conversation starter in Kindergarten, but I'm looking for friendships with a little more substance these days.

That's not to say I'm not up for making new friends -- if you think we've got something in common, feel free to strike up a conversation by sending me a message.
