i'm a big fan of hyper-intelligent dimwitted dance music....and gardening.
staring at people until they melt, composting, capsizing, making fires, daydreaming, microbrews, the sky above my house, my husband's heart and lungs, learning to cook well and grow my own food, shikantaza, travelling with soundsystems, organizing moments.

the era of 2+ hour movies is over. in the frenetically paced 21st century, theater goers will need to sprinkle their popcorn with ritalin if they hope to make it to the credits. I JUST WANT SNIPPETS - OK??!!!!!alright, well, i'll take 2+ hours of Daniel-Day-Lewis anyday...
Jon Snow's Hidden Iraq
'How to Live in This World Without Constant Empty Retching' by Seymore Snide is always within handy reach. As is 'Cooking for One When You Live With Others' by B.A Meaney. (i must admit, i found that tome particularly invaluable during my experimental phase of community living) 'yeah..ok..i guess i'm not in the mood' by anonymous.
people who never run out of breath.
