Favorite songs, by my favorite bands.. A sharing post :)

In no particular order:



He is Legend -- The Seduction
"Well I'll meet you at the river
where we both can clear our heads
I think we would look great dead."




The Distillers -- City of Angels

Stripped of the right to be a human in control
It's warmer in hell so down we go



Ida Maria -- Queen of the World

Whiskey please, I need some whiskey please
So bring me consciousness and kill my innocence



Phoenix -- 1901

Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated



Sage Francis - Got Up This Morning

Let me spell it out in simple language
Plain English
I want your suicide to be a book of mine that I never finish


I could go on forever...

I feel the inspiration brewing...

Like Words From My Own Soul...

Mad Girl's Love Song

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

--- Sylvia Plath

Death Note.

Fasion Inspiration: Edie Sedgwick

So I always loved the look of Edie, and this last weekend I finally watched Factory Girl. Even if it's not totally dead to real, it was still very good. I am not the biggest fan of Andy Warhol, don't even get me into it. But Edie, she was fabulous. Right now all I can think about is putting on some black tights, a mini dress and some long huge earrings... The dark eye makeup is fantastic, and she just seems so.. wonderful. Of course she was mentally unstable, and had a hard life, but the joy and giddiness she'd bring to the surface when she was 'on' is adorable. I feel this sorta connection to that.

Anyway, just thought I'd share! Tonight is the Rats in the Alley (my friends' improv group) and I can't wait to go home and change into my Edie inspired outfit for the evening. I think C got me some perfect earings for my birthday, for tonight! <3

Happy Inauguration Day!

You all should know by now that I am a HUGE Obama supporter. And today I woke up with that same sort of nerves and excitement that I did on election day. Only this time... with a little less fear. :)

Since I'm at work today I plan on streaming the inauguration online (Live105 is doing a radio stream, and CNN has this video/facebook stream going on... that's probably where I will be watching!)

I hope you all get a chance to watch/listen/read about it. I'm ever so excited!

Worn Out, Tired, Beaten and Cold...

I'm freezing... wrapped up in the warmest, softest gloves and scarf, of my favorite color.. that i just got, and freezing. goodness! I can't wait for the summer time.

Hope some of you have today off to rest and watch bad tv and not to a thing. I'm at work, and already longing for my comfortable bed back home. For the time at night when I can turn my brain off and just, melt away.

Here's lookin at you, kid.

School of Jesus Fish, reopening!

Our original flyer, designed by the fabulous Rob Dario.
Dr. Simon being a jerk to Anne (hey that's me!) He always wanted to just shut me up.

Anne's "Last Supper" if you will, if pills and water can be a supper.

Irma (Gabby), Debra/Shea (Jen), Dr. Ben (Matt), and Anne (me) goofing off backstage.

So this past fall I was in the amazing play School of Jesus Fish. This was the best show I've ever been a part of. I played Anne, sorta the lead role (score one for me!) and the show was awesome. Not only did every cast member click so well together, but the show was great. The writer even came out to see us perform, and we got quite the media buzz in the Bay Area.

Quick synopsis of the show:
Dr. Benjamin Hamilton's first patient as a therapist at St. Lucy's psychiatric ward is Anne Fencik, a woman who claims she is a prophet -- God's daughter on earth -- perhaps the "second coming." As Dr. Hamilton seeks to cure her, Ann's presence begins to have startling effects on the other psychiatric patients. Is their sudden recovery a result of a psychiatric breakthrough, or of Anne's healing?

Characters:

• Dr. Benjamin Hamilton: Mid-20s. New, uncertain.
• Franny: bi-polar, rapid and impatient
• Dr. Simon Piletti: Upside of forty. A gentle man when things are going his way, but no question he is in charge.
• Anne Fencik: delusional (?) but quite lucid.
• Irma: obsessive-compulsive with schizophrenic tendencies
• Karen Fishback: ex-musician, suffers from periodic visual hallucinations
• Debra: diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder
• Sam: 20 years old and tormented by auditory hallucinations
• Shea Fishback: sister of Karen. Professional musician

The show was extremely difficult for us doing it, hitting some strong subjects. Religion and mental disorders. And allowed the audience to make it's own decisions on if I was crazy, or really some sort of profit from god. Many of us in the show have had our lives touched by someone (if not ourselves) with some sort of mental illness, and that can make a very rough and emotional time during rehearsals and performances. We were all so very supportive of each other, and I hope most if not all of the original cast can come back for this reopening of our wonderful show.

So I moved.

I'm now a resident of Fairfield, CA again. The town I grew up in, lived most of my life, and tried to escape for years. But ya know what... I'm okay with being back. I'm an adult now, a real one, not a newly-adult adult... not knowing how to be an adult. I'm glad with my decision... First post of the day... Of the week... Of my new residency... Of my new chapter... More images that reflect my feelings as of right now. Enjoy kids. :)

Spot Light: Up and Comers. Mixi

I Miss Those Days (Ghost) - Mixi

Do any of your watch Fuse? It's quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. And if you know me, then you know I have a weakness for bad reality TV. I've watched a little of everything, and stumbled upon a show called Redemption Song. At first I was pretty put off by it. 'Bad' girls trying to change their image to be taken seriously, and win a the chance for a record deal to make it big. Wait... bitchy girls, booze, cussing, music.. why wouldn't I like this show?!? Haha. Anyway, it was a wonderful show, and as the weeks went by I found I was getting more and more attached to the underdog. Mixi.

Her style was very much her own, which I love. Mixing hair colors, tattoos and dark eye make up, with her jazzy soulful voice, and playful attitude. I was hooked. Luckily for me, Mixi won the whole kit and caboodle, and I was there glued to my tv, squealing for her victory and buying her first real song "I Miss Those Days (Ghost)" from Itunes. And the video, super adorable! She's so cute!

Her myspace is here, and last night she had a Stickam chat going where she was answering questions and just being herself. I had some issues with my webcam and couldn't get it up and running but think I got it fixed now, so I plan to join in on Monday when she'll be back.

The thing is, she's just so real. She's a real girl that went through some hell, just like anyone else. Last night in the chat she smoked a cigarette and said "not to tell her family". Just like a normal person, and even tried to borrow a beer from a neighbor. She giggled, and smiled and was really enjoying that connection with her fans. I really recommend you give her a chance. She warms my heart.

Inspire!
