Interests
- Oh media. And lots of it too. I'm obsessed with Simpsons. But only the reruns. And totally into gadgets
- but not because I think they're cool. I like buzzing beeping being connected. I just realize how little time I read -- now I'm reading every day. And cereal is back.
Favorite Movies
Favorite Music
- Kate Bush
- Joni Mitchell
- Julia Fordham. See a trend? Also I'm kind of smacked on newish women like India.Arie and now
- yes
- Amy Winehouse
- just for the goof vibe. Recently I've gotten hooked on a Paul Simon album "Surprise
- " which is all Eno. I listen it appears to tons of Aimee Mann
- Elvis (C)
