i write about what i'm interested in, in a blog entry from a while back. you should read it if you're interested.
marilyn monroe because she's so sad and sweet. walter mitty because he was just so frigging funny. i used to want to meet woody allen until the whole daughter thing. matt damon, but perhaps for the wrong reasons. marianne williamson because she's my spiritual mentor. depak chopra, tho i'm sure i'd just smile and say thank you. quentin tarantino but not if he were in a bad mood. lyle lovett so i can do the same thing julia did and fall in love with him for the right reasons because he's brilliant and brilliant is sexy. melissa etheridge because i was her biggest fan back in 87 and know most of her songs by heart. and i didn't even know she was gay. dear, sweet westley because he is the perfect man and would do anything, even come back from the dead, to save his true love. mother theresa because she's i'm sure as close to an angel as you could ever come. jesus, and budha, because i bet they were a lot alike. my grandparents that are gone. i'd like to meet them one day again.

princess bride. kill bill. little shop of horrors. amadaous. gone with the wind. the secret life of walter mitty. charlies angels. the money pit (that was one damn funny show). titanic. True Romance (anything with patricia - i love her so much!). shawshank. napolean dynamite. anything by burton, tarantino, lynch, scorsesi, woody allen, al brooks, marshal. anything with matt damon, christian slayter, bill murray, johny depp, harrison ford (young harrison ford). i love old style kung foo. (fat, lee, chan, li). i think everyone should see What The *Bleep* Do We Know. it's playing now at the uptown. go see it.
i don't watch tv unless robin makes me. she made me watch "swan" the other night, instead of doing yoga. when i said no, she promised we could do both at the same time. do you know how hard it is to watch tv doing backbends on a bed? swan was pretty cool, but the prettier girl won, the uglier girl was nicer and deserved it more, and the producer thought it would be a good idea to tell the audience that the reason the uglier girl didn't win was because she had severely deep seeded emotional issues and just hadn't done the work to become beautiful on the inside. that really, really pissed me off.
the princess bride (abridged version, yes there really is a long, borring one you can't get thru), the reader (learn to love what you hate), my antonia (the most beautiful book i've ever read), lord of the flies (do i need to explain this one?), a return to love (made me softer), soulmate (i earmarked every page, sometimes at the bottom even), like water for chocolate (yum), the unbearable lightness of being (czec poets are the best). anything by chopra (the master), williamson (the mastess), ruiz (clarity). i'm a book whore, i'm totally unfaithful. i rarely can make it all the way through one book before starting another. i don't always finish what i start.
