Books:

lately, i'm into real life accounts of fucked up people. mania, like, "i'm not myself these days," "prozac nation," and "elec-tro-boy." i also found myself knee deep in "dracula" and "don't get too comfortable." now i've switched to a trouble the general public approved of: "running with scissors." it makes me feel more sane, somehow.

Heroes:
