My interests are in flux these days as I try to re-define myself...graduate school took its toll on my personality. I generally love good music; good beer, champagne, and wine; playing softball, spinning, and lifting the occasional weights; the habits of my cat, Lily, are very interesting to me, as are the intricacies of John, my fiance; I love jamming out to good/bad/good 70s music with my friends Kim, Toe, Bonnie, Matty, Paulie, Rachelle, et al; I listen to NPR like they are about to pull the plug on it; and I dream of far-away places at all hours of the day...

Mojave 3, Belle & Sebastian, Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, Built to Spill, Blonde Redhead, Cat Power, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Air, Smog, Magnetic Fields, Pavement, Cinerama, Guided By Voices......the list goes on. And don't forget about the oldies: ELO, Neil Young, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, The Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot...

Mr. Show is god's gift to television. It used to be the only TV program I watched until my summer in Chile where I became fond of popular show like Lost, Desperate Housewives, and Grey's Anatomy, and until John corrupted me with the guilty pleasures of cable.
I've been into books scribed by Gallup authors as of late -- they're well researched, very interesting and positive, and entirely free to Gallup employees. I generally love anything about China or by Huxley and Vonnegut. In the past I've also loved Catch-22, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Their Eyes Were Watching God, to name a few.
The Dude - he's got a good ethos.
