I've never tried moose either. If I had to guess, I'd assume its something like venison which I used to eat growing up (I loved venison sausage!). I assume elk must taste similar, too (yet another of those meats the butcher has). I was a vegetarian for several years (which wasn't hard since I had trouble eating meat when I was little), but "was seduced by and succumbed to" a Philly cheese-steak one day (insert Homer Simpson-esque hungry sound here). The weird thing was that I generally do better eating a balance of veggies, cereals & meats than I did as a vegetarian. Besides, since I wear leather, even buffalo or deer-hide moccasins sometimes, I should at least try to make sure more of the animal goes to a good use than is wasted. More of growing up in Colorado, maybe, plus the influence of some American Indian friends from long ago.

Aww, I'm sorry . Hopefully you can move soon lol. I have had him for about 9 months. I too am looking for a new place and wont get a place unless they accept pets, luckily in my area almost every place allows pets. What kind of animal is your ideal pet?

Oh, and for what its worth, while I love my veggies, I have a big weakness for roast beef, top or bottom sirloin (aka tri-tip) with mashed potatoes & corn, or ham with candied gravy & peas--moderation though & balance, that's what I need to remember. I'm not a big fan of poultry or fowl myself, although growing up in Colorado Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter were often filled with all sorts of interesting things, ranging from chicken or turkey to roasts, to ham an on to pheasant, venison and here in Nevada there's a butcher just a few blocks away that brings in moose, buffalo (makes good burgers) and other things, a lot of which I have no desire to try. Don;t remember what my point was, but now I'm hungry ... Have a great day!

I can understand why you like Idioteque. The first time I listened to it, it was jarring to me, but I gave it another shot and started listening to it and there is something about the patterns that I do find fascinating. People used to think I was nuts because my favourite Doors album was The Soft Parade because of all the tempo and style changes (why didn't I like Morrision Hotel more? they'd ask). I do like pushing the limits, especially my own, so I'll probably give Idiotque another listen to today just to see what new I hear in there. Oh, and with your diet/workout, there was something else I wanted to mention. Sometimes when you're hungry, it isn't so much "hunger" but a "quest for flavour" that you're feeling. You could be pretty well full, but your brain doesn't think so, so one trick I found out about was to drink something with a strong taste to it to knock some sense into my brain. For me, that means drinking a hot cup of mint tea, sometimes peppermint, sometimes spearmint. It usually works, and is basically no calorie, no fat but full of flavour. Sometimes a glass of Calistoga or Perrier with lime & ice does the trick, too, and you get some of the electrolytes you need, without the corn syrup or sugar in a lot of sports drinks. More food for thought. Have a great day

Hey Danielle! I just came over to visit at Rob's suggestion. I saw some mention of YOU being on Myspace. I'm curious, is that only for your own personal real life friends are do you accept anyone to your site?

Hey there--I watched some of your update videos (besides my birthday one, which was a lovely thing for you to do--thanks again), and wanted to add my admiration for your cover drawing--I wish I had that talent with charcoal, pen & ink or pencil-or anything else. Rob, I take it was the artist?, is fantastic in yet another medium. What an eye! I also watched your "back from the Gym" video and have had lots of time the past few ays to think about diet, health & so on, and may I suggest swimming if you don't already? Back when I swam, it was normal for us to wear multiple suits, little Speedos layered under baggy trunks, pantyhose, t-shirts and without caps, anything to up the drag and give us a great, hard workout before stripping down to just Speedos, a cap and shaving our legs, guys and girls, for speed. We'd also swim "lifeguard style" with our heads out of the water for something like 10 minutes plus tread water for a good 15 to 20 minutes, if I remember the amount of time right (this was all before you were even born, which makes me feel pretty old right now! ha ha). Also, with your diet I assume your trainer's stressed fruits & veggies--great for more than one thing. Since they're full of water, you get filled up quicker than if you eat denser food like meats, dairy, &c., plus you get more vitamins & fiber which are good, and less fat. I think when I was taking cultural anthro or MesoAmerican antho I learned that some fruits/veggies supplied the body with all the amino acids it needs to build proteins and were easier for the body to break down (used less energy) than meats--corn, squash & beans had complimentary amino acids, if I remember that right. Oh, and chili peppers were packed with citric acid which drives the mitochondria and powers the cells. Just food for thought--I'm not sure if the pun's intended, but there you have it anyway . Oh, I listened to Idioteque a couple times the past few days--not quite my style, but I can see what you see in it, and for me it is something cool simply because it is so different from what I normally listen to, whether Radiohead or anyone else. Kinda like U2 back a decade ago with Zooropa, or Thompson Twins when I was a kid or maybe even some of the Talking Heads, ELO or Boston, all of whom pushed the envelope a bit before tech became more mainstream. Anyway, part of me liked listening to Kid A again, but given a choice, I'd still listen to Pablo Honey first (like you said, I forget where here, the first time is the strongest--you were talking about your first public nudity shoot though, but I think it applies elsewhere, too). Cheers--have a great day

Well, I was thinking something casual - blue jeans and a t-shirt or long-sleeved shirt (or any top you think would look cute). I wear blue jeans a lot, Danielle - I come from a family of fruit growers and I work part-time for my dad on his farms, so that's where that idea's coming from. Plus, I heard this song on the radio yesterday - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAsj87rhy6Q

Danielle - thanks so much for your answer to my question on your video log - I sure hope that Rob does decide to do another drawing of you - absolutely gorgeous - certainly a great cover page to your site.

Do you keep your Myspace profile "private" for your own personal friends or can anyone request to be your "friend?"

Thank you :P. If you can get one, I highly recommend it. They are so easy to take care of and they always have their own personality.
