Family, friends, trying not to be stressed out.
Mostly people I know already, or used to know but haven't heard from in a while.
Lately, The Clash, Hall and Oates, Jenny Lewis, The Band, Wilco, etcetera and in no particular order.
I'm into movies. Lots of them, all kinds. I also have vast and useless movie trivia-type knowledge, like maybe I know the name of this minor actor who was in this movie and also in the commercial for that thing, and he's got a kid with what's-her-face.
PBS, No Reservations, Greys Anatomy, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Dexter, Big Love, lots of boxing. But not heavyweight, so much.
Lots by John Irving, dictionaries, David Sedaris, The Grounding of Group 6, Dave Eggers, The Miami Indians of Indiana, Flowers in the Attic (shut up, you know you read trash).
My Mom, my brothers, my husband. Abraham Lincoln and lots of other historical history-betterers, good mothers and fathers everywhere.
