Up until December 2010, it was Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour, which was my first concert at age 15 (in 1994). Then I saw Roger Waters' The Wall in December, and it was just mind blowing. It was an amazing show, but because the content is pretty controversial (war images), it was really emotionally exhausting. I didn't leave it feeling great, but it's important that information is out there and Roger Waters is a passionate artist and it shows in his work.

I may be a bit biased, but I think the California Academy of Sciences is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL building. It was designed by renowned architect, Renzo Piano. On top of being beautiful, it is one of the greenest museums in the world. I believe we are one of the few buildings in the world with a Platinum LEED rating (LEED is an initiative started by the US Green Building Council, and stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design)!!
So not only is it beautiful, it was built in the most environmentally friendly way a building these days can be built!

I know it's an odd choice, but it always reminds me of my childhood and going to see Pink Floyd with my dad and family when I was 15. I could listen to that album over and over! I do at work all the time :)

I've had some strict teachers, but not too many bad teachers. I would have to say the worst professor I had was for developmental psychology in my sophomore year at UCSC. The professor spoke with her eyes closed, and I could not focus on the class, it really weirded me out and I spent half the class just looking at her waiting for her eyes to open!

The last Harry Potter book, the Deathly Hallows, is probably my absolute favorite book and I listen to the audio book constantly. It never gets old, the story is just so engaging and the previous 6 books finally come together in this one and all the questions are answered!

My grandma and mom never bought cool whip, so I had an aversion to it for a long time. Recently though, I've switched to cool whip since the calorie content is WAY lower and less guilt-inducing :)

It's all about layers, any San Franciscan will tell you the same! It's nice because my wardrobe doesn't really change all that much, winter and spring clothes can be worn year round!

]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/79677 Getting a job and moving changed my life for the better 2009-12-03T12:10:51-06:00 I was unemployed for about 5 months when I got the interview for my current job. After going to interview after interview, I was becoming less and less confident I would find a great job. When I interviewed at the Academy, I didn't think I was getting a call back, but I did and it all worked out. Moving to San Francisco also has been one of the best life changes, and I'm happier now than I have ever been.

]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/69822 Start with 'Wish You Were Here' 2009-08-13T11:34:14-06:00

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

A prime example of Pink Floyd's original and touching lyrics. It's my favorite song (probably of all time), and it reminds me of my dad, so every time it comes on, I know he's thinking of me.

Brain Damage by Pink Floyd

This song with the following on the album, Eclipse, is my favorite part of Dark Side of the Moon. The quirkiness of Brain Damage always makes me smile, but it's dark and deranged at the same time with the crazy man laughing in the background. Eclipse is the mellow closing that Brain Damage transitions into, and when the song is over, it just seems right.

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

I love the guitar solos in this song. You can feel how much Roger Waters (founder, guitarist and lyricist) put into this album, and particularly this song. It's emotional, hopeful and dark at the same time.

]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/62032 Only in dreams 2009-06-18T11:48:13-06:00 I had a dream I was back in high school, but at my current age (30). We all had to get up at an assembly and do a comedy routine. Luckily, I woke up! But then I laid in bed putting together my comedy routine thinking it was pretty damn funny :)

]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/35149 The breakup 2009-03-20T10:38:45-06:00 I went on lots of first dates in my 20's, and never really got serious until I met Gus. The year before I met Gus, I was dating this guy who insisted in getting me an exercise bike for my birthday. I dumped him after that, and wished him all the best luck and the best platform shoes his money could buy (he was semi-short haha)...was that mean??
