Interests

  • General

    MySpace TrackerAlice. I'm not just talking about the Disney cartoon, either; the book, the live-people movie I used to see on TV as a kid, the American McGee game, classic images, goth images, way out there stuff too. I'm a collector of all things Alice.

    I'm beginning to develop a taste for horror -- books, movies, what have you -- involving mothers, pregnant women, evil children, etc. These tend to be some of the most disturbing tales, if you ask me.

    I really want to do something creative, but I've never been very artistic. Maybe learn to tie hemp, make candles/soap, knit/crochet, sew, or something.

    I've been watering plants and baking to fill that urge, but it just doesn't cut it.

    Dumb blonde jokes -- I love 'em!

  • Music

    A lot of people say they like everything. Not me. I don't like most rap, hip-hop, and certainly no new country.

    I listen to almost anything else, and you could just as easily find me listening to blues one day, classic rock the next, followed by a day of baroque.

    My tastes are constantly changing, but I always seem to drift back to New Wave and early punk.

  • Movies

    I don't like chick flicks. Ok, I like a few of 'em. But as a general rule -- no chick flicks.

    I love Johnny Depp. I don't think he's ever been in a bad movie.

    Oh, and Eddie Izzard -- my favorite executive transvestite.

    Michael Moore -- he makes documentaries and being a whacko liberal fun again.

    Christopher Walken is soo funny -he's a genius, I love that dry/silly humor. Gotta have more cowbell!

    Bruce Campbell's pretty awesome.

    Hitchcock is absolutely my favorite director, followed closely by Tim Burton. That's so typical, I know, but what can I say? Limited exposure means limited taste. And hey, aren't they popular for a reason? Yeah, that's what I thought. :P

    Here's a notable quote (name the movie and get a prize): "Kenny, your glass has too much air in it."

    I rarely have a "favorite" anything, but I recently found what may qualify as my favorite movie of all time: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from 1931, starring Frederic March and Miriam Hopkins. It was brilliant. And awesome.

  • Television

    I'm trying to cut back on TV. Time spent watching that little box is time I could've spent actually doing something; plus, that crap rots your brain.

    <

    But when I do watch...

    The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. They're the best source of TV news I've found (yet even they get overly biased and repetitive) -- and they're not even real news!!


    The Twilight Zone (original and 80s episodes), Dark Shadows, The Office, Breaking Bad, Hung, South Park, various shows in the Adult Swim lineup.

  • Books

    I love to read!

    I also like to express my opinion on world events and books; you can read my opinions at http://rachael-rachael-quite-contrary.blogspot.com/.

    I didn't have much time to read while I was in school, but I've recently found myself with some extra time on my hands. Know a good book I should read? Clue me in.

    Right now I'm reading an "interactive" thriller, Personal Effects: Dark Art by J.C. Hutchins. He also has a podcast for the prequel, Personal Effects: Sword of Blood.

    I'm also in the middle of The Walking Dead, a comic book about the zombie apocalypse. There are a few others, like The Awakening that I'd like to get into.

    Alice in Wonderland literature is certainly right up my alley as well. I really want to get started on The Looking Glass Wars and a related graphic novel series centered on the Mad Hatter.

    Comic books, kids' lit...does she get nerdier? Indeed she does. Mark off Jaws ripoffs like the Meg series and LOTR ripoffs -- er, I mean LOTR-inspired books -- like R.A. Salvatore's elf/dwarf/orc series, which is also related to D&D stuff as well.

    I also love classics. I worship the great authors of yesteryear.

  • Heroes

    My mom and my grandmothers -- and all devoted mothers, while we're at it. Being a mom (single or otherwise) is hard work. Lots of sacrifices...

    Sigmund Freud. Put his theories in a historical perspective, and he was a genius. It all boils down to sex and our mothers. Hopefully not together. Gross.

    Karl Marx. Takes a lot of guts to say we'd be better off putting a bunch of ignorant poor folks in charge. Don't like socialism? Show me a successful example of PURE capitalism, then. What's that? That's what I thought...

    J.K. Rowling. Single mom writes book, makes millions. Only in America...No wait, she's British.
