pasta, coffee, wine, vodka. meandering. schlepping. film, but nothing current. theater. experimental art forms - installation, performance. relationships in various forms.
Paris is my favorite city, Rome and Venice very closely follow. but my favorite place is Provincetown. have an ambivalent relationship with Barcelona, and though i lived there for a year, we're not a good fit. amsterdam tends to go hazy in my memory - i wonder why?
I'd like to meet:
fellow poets, lyricists, screenwriters. experimental artists. someone unable to stop cooking pasta and pizza. or baking raisin bread. but while i'm rambling, i have a weakness for acoustic guitars, indie singers. wait! i'm having a sally field moment, and i'd like to thank Ester Goldberg for being fabulous . . . .
Music:
buddha bar, gipsy kings, sondheim, miles davis, puccini, fado . maybe throw in a bit of neil young, nina simone
Movies:
sunset boulevard, the last starfighter, everything is illuminated, amelie. gotta love 'the trouble with harry', proof that shirley maclaine was young. 'rope' is always worth another look.
Television:
dexter (opening credits,titles alone make it worthwhile), heroes, torchwood, stargate sg1/atlantis, eureka, nothing with a laugh-track, pbs mystery, spooks, regenesis (thanks, Canada), the state within (please, jerry bruckheimer, stop reciting textbook gobblegook).
Books:
currently reading 'The Unconsoled' by Kazuo Ishiguro. any Nero Wolfe, mysteries from the late 30's to early 40's, some pulp fiction from the 30's and 40's, (is it politically incorrect to like the 'charlie chan' books?, cause i do). all the Donna Leon novels (if you love Venice, then you must).
Heroes:
einstein, buddha, lao-tse
