Long walks through the city. Film. Story. Imagery. Merging fact and fiction. Exploring ideas with others. Steaming hot baths illuminated by a plethora of candles. The Olympics. Flying. Travel. Sushi. Coffee. Red wine and a paintbrush. Exploring higher levels. Tattoos. Chanting. Fasting. Communication.
Everyone.But especially people who are full of light and love...

It's funny. As a screenwriter, I'm incredibly critical of films. If a film doesn't 'grab me', in fact, I usually don't even remember seeing it. But the ones that do really stick. A few of my favs are: Fight Club, American Beauty, Eternal Sunshine, Amores Perros, The Weather Underground, Requiem for a Dream, Traffic, Little Miss Sunshine, Napolean Dynamite, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, As Good as it Gets, Boogie Nights, Chasing Amy, Good Will Hunting, Election, Gladiator, Happiness, The Insider, Resevoir Dogs, Platoon, Life is Beautiful, Trainspotting, I thought Farenheit 9/11 and An Inconvenient Truth were both damn good. I freaking loved Maria Full of Grace. Boy's Don't Cry. Office Space. The Good Girl. Secretary. Primal Fear. Basketball Diaries. What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Parenthood. Leaving Las Vegas. Lolita (dear, sweet Dominique Swain).
Six Feet Under (Alan Ball is an ideal Hero Archetype for those of you keeping score at home). Sopranos. Family Guy and American Dad (of course). Daily Show and Colbert Report (of course). The Office. Project Runway. 30 Rock (Tina Fey + Alec Baldwin = winning combo.)
Palahniuk and Tom Robbins are at the very top of my list. Vonnegut. Jonathan Lethem (new book out!!!). Orwell and Ray Bradbury. I gotta say that I really loved Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, even though the writing itself was quite elementary, the man knows story structure. I found it to be much better than Da Vinci Code. I've resisted the Potter craze. I don't know why. I've been trying to read A People's History for probably two years now. Fast Food Nation is good. I like Eric Schlosser. I really, really enjoyed The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson. Das Energi. Caroline Myss. And all the beatniks (of course...)
Alec Baldwin (i mean c'mon === is there a better SNL skit than the 'shweaty balls xmas skit'???) Artists and Revolutionaries make me a very happy girl. I say we PUT THE TWO TOGETHER!!! amg and bm for being the best damn mentors any girl could ask for...I say we put the three together and make some dancing magic happen!!! Michael and Georgiana for patiently leading me to light and truth. the vajra family. Dave and Heather for opening up the space for us all to expand. Chloe, Ian and EJ for reminding me that it''s okay to love intensely. Adam for his ability to vibrate at a mellow level regardless of what's happening and for perservering with love through the darkest of times. My brother. rs for reminding me how to walk again. kc for being a reliable protector. sk for cilantro. bc for seeing things so clearly. mc for all the history, geography, political policy and travel talks, the rivs for providing such a beautiful palace, mm for reminding me of my GREAT LOVE FOR MY COUNTRY,Bonnie for showing me how to love wider. Kim for showing me how to stay connected through creation and positive effort. Eddie Izzard for always making me laugh. Dennis Kucinich for stepping up to the politcal plate of awakening. Ditto goes for Al Gore. Ditto goes for Ralph Nader === I'll never forget when Radiohead was on SNL and Thom threw the "Let Nader Debate" sign into the crowd at the end of the show...brilliance if you please!!! Keith Olbermann, Michael Moore, Stewart and Colbert for all they're doing to bring news to a wider demographic. Michael Arndt. Jim Taylor and Alexander Payne. Alan Ball and the Six Feet Under family. John August. David Fincher (of course). Rodriguez and Tarantino (of course). Clooney and Pitt and Jolie (of course). photographers and cinematographers. drummers who continue to teach me about forgiveness. Filmmakers. Bands. Thom Yorke. Carlos D. Ben Gibbard. Trent Reznor. Frank Black, (Editors Vocalist): Tom Smith, Brandon Flowers. Danio, (and so RIDICULOUSLY many other musicians/artists/writers/composers/photographers/sculptors/ dancers...you get the point...) re: Artists and Revolutionaries...I say we PUT THE TWO TOGETHER and start a SOCIO-POLITICAL LOVE ROCK REVOLUTION!!!
