LJ Idol Season 7 Week 0 And You Are?

[puppetmaker]

This past week I have been introducing myself or finding myself being introduced to people by other people. I find it interesting how I am introduced to others especially at my daughter’s school. First it is the fact that my daughter goes to the school which explains why I would be interested in the school I guess. Then it is my puppetry skills which, if the other person is a long time participant in the school, the other person can then place me as that parent that did the puppets at Field Day. Then it is the fact that I help out in the library every week.

Then other things that people think are interesting about me tend to come out. I have worked in Theater. I know some pretty interesting people in both the publishing and film industry. I am a published writer. I am a book editor. I worked on both Star Wars non-fiction and fiction. I have been to Australia and New Zealand. I have been to Europe more than once. My husband is a New York Times best-selling author. I make really wonderful puppets and dolls (One of my local fabric store buddies had me show pictures to other women who were in the store at the same time who did other crafts recently.) My costuming skills are wicked or wonderful depending on who you ask.

I have five cats as pets included a 10 week old kitten who dropped out of a tree during a terrible storm. I like animals and they like me a lot. My husband calls me the animal magnet. As I write this the kitten is curled tightly at my hip sleeping that boneless sleep that only kittens can do.

I prefer Apple products. I have an iPhone, an iPad, and a MacBook. I converted my husband to the Apple side of the force because it was easier for him to open up art files to look at rather than having to keep swiping my laptop. So now all the computers talk to each other. I have a lot of apple computers that still work even though they are over 20 years old.

I am an unabashed Doctor Who fan and all the spin offs. I am a Brit SF TV fan. I am big into animation. We are big Disney Fans. Currently I am watching Chuck, Supernatural, Sherlock, Good Wife, Warehouse 13, Sanctuary, Caprica, Nikita, No Ordinary Family, Tower Prep, Simpsons, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, Project Runway, and Dancing with the Stars (until Jennifer Grey is out and then I’m done with it). There are probably other shows I am watching as well but those are the ones that come to mind.

I see a lot of films especially the children’s fare. Having an eight year-old means that I have seen some pretty awful children’s films and some pretty awesome ones as well. But my husband and I find time to see films that we want to see.

I watch sports. Baseball and football are my favorites to watch but I have watched a lot of other things as well.

So any questions?

heh... know the feeling. I now walk into the first band parent meeting of the year and get pointed out as the 'art mom' or the 'human xerox machine.'

*shrugs* It's not like it's hard...

Happy to see you again this season. Wow it must be cool to have a husband who is a NYT bestselling author! I wonder if I have read his book :3. Looking forward to the season finale of PR today! GO MONDO XD. He was my favorite since the beginning.

It was raining cats and dogs that day...

It looks like we have a lot of television in common ^_^

Yes! Question!

As I write this the kitten is curled tightly at my hip sleeping that boneless sleep that only kittens can do.

....we get more kitten pictures, right? :)

You have good taste in computers :)

Only one question: Why are you so awesome?

[wyliekat.livejournal.com]

Would you also be, by chance, a fan of Red Dwarf?

I just started watching Doctor Who for the very first time; I'm watching the Christopher Eccleston episodes first as he's hot. Your life has always sounded interesting to me and I look forward to reading more about it! Good luck this season.

I think we have many things in common my friend - at least in the things we watch and why we watch them. ;p

Good luck!

Puppets and Dr. Who! Awesome. They should be combined somehow. ^^ I love British series as well. That new Jekyll miniseries and the Sherlock series are some of my favorites.

I did a set back in 2006 and have since updated it.

It will be here until Nov 8th and then I have to redo the thing

I like your taste in TV.

I'm envious - in the past year I suddenly find myself with a desire to travel but no money to do it. Yeesh.

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Glad to see you back :)

[solstice-singer.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're back. Good luck.

It was ironic, for the longest time I was a PC-only guy. I didn't get into Macs so much because I had this idea that the more ways a computer could break, the more ways it could be put back together, and thus put back together better than the original. Then I learned how to break Macs, and they now live mostly harmoniously together in my house.

My wife and I just got new MBP's, both upgraded with aftermarket SSD's, and they are wicked fast! Battery life is even better than the original.

Good luck!

Jennifer Grey is the only reason to watch DWTS right now. :)

This coming summer, and I think I mentioned this, I'm schedule to direct an all puppet version of "The Tempest." Then the Julie Taymor version comes out (at least in our film festival) and blows everyone away. My producer says "ours will be a Taymor-esque version of the play" to an audience. Our budget is like $750. Oi.

Welcome back!
