Norway native, US transplant with a BA in Theatre. Over 15 years of classical music training. I sing, write lyrics and music, and am working on a book when I'm not at my day job...other interests are foreign languages and cultures, travel, books, movies, cooking, and art of every kind. I have a particular interest in multicultural issues and human rights. The only race is the human race.

IRON MAN!!! What fun !! Children of Men took my breath away. The complete list of favorites is WAY too long to list but includes: Eastern Promises,Contact, The Lover, Monsoon Wedding, Zhao Yu's train, Crouching Tiger, Donnie Darko, Gladiator, Before Sunrise/Sunset, Possession, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, The Contender, Crash, Thank You for Smoking and Serenity.
No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, Bones, The Closer, New Amsterdam...otherwise have a real talent for liking shows that get cancelled (Firefly, John Doe, MD's, UC Undercover, The Handler)
Catfish and Mandala by Andrew X. Pham. Alltime favorite ever. I love everything from Austen and Forster to more contemporary voices like Sherman Alexie, Zadie Smith and Greg Bear.
Everyday heroes...people who overcome obstacles and adversity and survive.
