I'd like to meet:
A life coach with a winning strategy.
Music:
Lot of Dylan. Imogen Heap. The Dandy Warhols. Aphex Twin. Gnarls Barkley. Josh Radin. Outkast. The Shins. Jarvis Cocker. The Arcade Fire. Cat Power. The Stars--in small doses. Ditto Hawksley Workman. the New Pornographers. Rufus Wainwright. Martin Sexton's "Black Sheep." It fell apart a little in his subsequent albums. in my opinion. the opinion of someone with very little musical talent. how presumptuous. Sorry, martin. And Shortwave. And Hot Breakfast.
Movies:
Easy Rider, Waiting for Guffman, Babe, Jesus' Son, The Killing Fields, Little Miss Sunshine, A Midwinter's Tale, Amores Perros, Y Tu Mama Tambien. I'll watch anything by Guy Maddin or Pedro Almodovar. And I'm looking forward to "Severance" And I loved Evelyn, The Cutest Evil Dead Girl, although it is only about 6 minutes long. maybe shorter.
Television:
Don't have one. At present.
Books:
The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien. Sunday At The Pool In Kigali, Gil Courtemanche. To The Lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway -- Virginia Woolf. The Real Thing, Tom Stoppard. Betrayal, Harold Pinter. On The Road, Jack Kerouac. What is the What, Dave Eggers. They Marched Into Sunlight, David Maraniss. Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures. The Soccer Wars, Ryszard Kapuscinski--Polish journo, died this January. Read this man's work--he understood Africa in a way that must make the African experience, for most Africans, feel redundant
Heroes:
Marion Doyle. Kevin Doyle.
