Regarding actors...Here are some of my faves: Robert Downey Jr., Heath Ledger, Brandon Lee, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman......

Not too much time for tv, but when there is = Criminal Minds & Paranormal State or Ghost Adventurers. And music.....I love music & pretty much any style goes.

I write in various styles and genres: orchestral compositions > film scores > songs. 4 me, the sheer joy of writing is never knowing what's going 2 come out of my head & thru my hands.

Thanx 4 stopping by.

   About amanda




Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. ~William Shakespeare

Thank you for the friend request!  Hope you will join us at our blog and also ask your friends to find out what the insurance companies don't want you to know! Single-Payer is the difference between TRUE Universal Health Care and phony schemes for private insurance companies to continue business as usual. 



If you want REAL healthcare reform that will lower and control costs and affordable, comprehensive healthcare for ALL Americans - nobody out, everybody in - CALL THE WHITE HOUSE NOW. 1-800-578-4171  It's more important than ever.  Tell the White House and Congress to stop catering to the insurance industry middlemen who rob us of our healthcare dollars and add no value to healthcare and to support a Single Payer National Health Plan NOW!

Dropping by to wish you the best day ever and tomorrow do the same. If you have the means please give a couple of dollars to charity. Be it to fight Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer, Hunger, AIDS, or any other cause that touches your heart. I know of no better feeling than what you feel when you make another person’s day a little better.

the Galaxy Premiere of Astro-rama!

Astro-rama is a joyous large scale outdoor event that unifies an audience in
creating humanity’s message for far-flung galaxies.
The show features live music, dynamic video, 3 stories of scaffolding, a 40' radio telescope,
cherry pickers, scissor lifts and a giant robot.
Astro-rama was filmed over 2 chilly nights in October 2008 at Pittsburgh's Schenley Plaza.

Astro-rama premiere and party with the Squonkers.

Pittsburgh Filmmakers’ Melwood Screening Room

Additional screening:
Saturday May 23rd at 8:00 pm for $5 – movie plus artist Q&A


“The brainy, bold music-and-performance ensemble is once again daring to go where no performance art has gone before”
- Washington Post

“a roman candle, one that happens to come with a rhythm section.”
- City Paper

“The Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Squonk Opera Yet”
- Pop City

“an American, terrestrial and perhaps galaxy original...a unique mix of geek and polish, eccentric design and mocking wit”
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“hybridizer of art rock and performance, and expert at blending surrealism, high camp and careful craft for the masses”
- City Paper

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Astro-rama has just been chosen as one of three finalists for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council's Work of Art Awards
