About Me

i once went to see mamma miia. i think i got tickets to the private geriatric screening by mistake bc in a theater that fills about 500 people i was one of about 10 under 65. the lady next to me smelled bad. but man did she break it down during the aftershow singalong. i also have the only job in existence that can make a person feel guilty for not being an alcoholic.

My Interests

i've recently discovered that i have no interests. this is a problem which i am determined to amend. as a result i have gone interest crazy. on my list: puzzles, crocheting, embroidery, baking banana bread (not really an interest, but rather a product of me currently owning 2 soon-to-be rotten bananas). apparently interests = grandma. so i've added salsa dancing to keep things lively.

I'd like to meet:

people who give the thumbs up sign and mean it.

Music:

legends of the fall theme...all 73 variants are good but i'm especially moved by 'decent into madness/the wedding.' elo...telephone lines. otis redding. nancy sinatra. fleetwood. rod stewart. queen. dolly parton. david bowie...pre-dental work. sweet. pulp. the magnetic fields. et al.

Movies:

moonstruck...in the last 2 weeks i've watched it approximately 15 times. does that make me pathetic? maybe. do i have a problem? probably. am i gonna watch it again? definitely.also high on the list: the labyrinth...muppets + david bowie...what's not to like

Television:

i don't get tv. someone stole my antenna. then i thought i had stuck it to the man bc there was a brand new one in the free pile in my building. but it sucks. so it turns out the man stuck it to me.

Books:

jane eyre...actually all brontes, jane austen, thomas hardy, the forsythe saga, gone with the wind, the eternal husband, good dog carl.

Heroes:

jeff. he cuts my hair. he's my edward scissorhands. except i'm not sure how he is with ice. and loretta castorini...she's proof that all it takes is a little jazz, a little wine and a little help from the beauticians at cinderella's salon to shed this librarian exterior and find my inner cher
