About Me

Vegan New Yorker who has relocated to Woodstock, New York, where I am enjoying a well-earned sabbatical. I used to edit Satya--a magazine about animal rights, veganism, environmentalism and social justice (check it out at http://www.satyamag.com).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other like-minded, fun, independent thinkers, vegans and animal peeps.

Music:

I can jump from Jane's Addiction to Bach's Cello Suites to to Bossa Nova to Joy Askew. I also love Elbow, Nellie McKay, and most things Bowie. Things I just never ever tire of: Jane's Addiction (Nothing and Ritual), Jeff Buckley's Grace, Nick Drake, The Princess and the Warrior Soundtrack, Goldie's Timeless, The Swans, Fugazi's Repeater, Hugo Largo, Babes in Toyland's Fontanelle, Miles' Kind of Blue, Chet Baker, Beethoven's String Quartets.

Movies:

My Neighbor Totoro (anything by Miyazaki), Blade Runner, Wings of Desire, To Kill a Mockingbird, North & South (BBC production).

Television:

I miss Buffy. Robin Hood and Torchwood are so-so but pale in comparison. Still, they keep me distracted.

Books:

I just finished the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman and it rivals in greatness and beauty my other favorite: The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, which is one of the most profound, powerful sci-fi books you will ever read. I can't recommend it enough. Wicked and Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire--great, imaginative books with amazing characters and a subversive animal rights theme!

Heroes:

Rescued farm animals. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My cat pals Pierre and Toby.
