*UPDATE* okay, i'm WAY into G-Love now... and i am renewing my love affair with ska... yup... give me 7 Seconds of Love RIGHT F-IN NOW!!!!
i also enjoy the Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Genesis, the Police (c'mon, my name is Roxanne!) Metalica (old stuff, pre 2000), and punk... old stuff like Green Day and, of course, Bad Religion. i can't stand country or rap.... or hip-hop. nothing against those who do; just you won't be finding it on my MP3 player!
Movies
too many good, excellent, and mind-blowing movies to list! some top faves are "what the bleep do we know", "lords of war", "jarhead", the entire x-men series, and more intense movies, like "fallen".
*UPDATE!* I just discovered the satelitte channel cHiLLeR and it's VERY GOOD for all you horror genre fans out there!*
Television
i don't realy watch televison, but i love my satelitte! i watch just about anything on the learning channel, discovery, animal planet, history channel, and of course, adult swim on cartoon network!
Books
anything by David Quammen! but I did just go to Borders today and was seperated from 60$ in less than 5 minutes... god, i have sooo many books, i'm addicted to spending money at Barnes and Nobles. may as well just have a direct deposit there...
Presently reading a wonderfully delightful little book called "*a Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. he also wrote "A Walk in the Woods", a funny recap of him hiking the Appalachian Trail. good readin', peeps.
I am also chewing thru a difficult read, "Rising UP and Rising DOWN, some thoughts on violence,freedom, and urgent needs" by William T. Vollman. difficult because it is written in free-form with creative punctuation... but a mesmerizing read, none the less, so long as you have an interest in ethics and some understanding of Kantian and Hobbesian ethical theories.
and lastly, i am re-reading an old fave... "Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver. I really ought to get more of her works, i really enjoyed this novel to the very end, and i'm not really a fiction reader. But her way of character development, as well as interspersed notes on natural history and environmental theory just work for me...
Heroes
wow... depends on what you classify as qualifications of a "hero". i guess my mother counts, she was a struggling young woman when she decided to start a family and dealt with alot of hardships... but as far as inspiration, well, hats off to my dad! he's a scientist and a real "earthy" kinda guy... he taught me to s-l-o-w down and take joy in the little things.
my high school arts teacher, Kiki Ganz-Sarto, has been a phenomenal influence on many choices i have made in my life, as well as encouraging my own artistic flair.
and the most positive influence in my life is the man i love, my partner in crime, my best friend and one helluva lover... he has always been there for me, whether i was having a nuclear meltdown or riding the highest crest of joy... love ya for always, Mr. Jan!

well, i'm a self-taught artist, i love animals, and i can't be off work enough to fully enjoy the beauty of south florida! i went procyonid crazy a few years back (for you regular folks, that's the raccoon family)and i haven't recovered yet!
i recently began going to college, and i love it! it feels so very good to learn again... the only challenge is getting enough time for everything... no time for being lazy in the sun for the next 3 years now!

Who I'd like to meet: well, he's gone now, but Steve Irwin is always my hero, since i saw his first episode on animal planet of croc hunter way back in 1997... he did get a bit loopy towards the end, but i firmly believe that becoming a parent gives you certain rights... like playing with toys not intended for your age group and being a little over-exuberant about common things... bye steve... sniff... sniff
Hello Jan, Roxanne, YZ (and the rest of the gang I've yet to acquaint myself with). What a cutie your ACD is.. ..why just look at her smiling in the passenger seat; pictured above on this layout. Australian Cattle Dogs rule!
Happy New Year! And good luck in your search for a new ACD puppy. I hope you will find the right one. ;-) I'm sure you will, they are all great, although some are greater than others. It will be hard to find one that can follow in YZ's footsteps. Maybe you should go for a distinctive different look, so a red would be perfect! ;-) Good luck and take care, Caroline

On the drug insert of Tramadol there is a warning that tramadol can cause seizures even at the recommended dosage. We had not seen this problem here before and we use the drug alot but we were unaware of this warning statement until I read the drug insert and found this warning. But if you find out any other info. or happen to run into any other cases please share your findings. Thanks, Chris
