| 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 | Love and Death, Woody Allen. |
| 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), and Rufus Wainright but his sister Martha is awesome. Who is this guy Thompson I keep listening to? |
| Favorite Books | Confederacy of Dunces, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Wuthering Heights, Maurice, You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again, and of course, Me by Katherine Hepburn. I just reread Elements of Style. Where is all of that now....?? |
