ART: printmaking/painting/drawing + history, music, frolicking thru the park with my dog, drinking wine with my closest girlfriends, going to the airport to people watch, loathing the president of the united states, growing things in my garden, sleeping (i have the most fantastic, vivid dreams and have a difficult time dragging myself out of them, so often i don't), indulging my obsessive compulsiveness, reading short stories, bauhaus architecture, and of course, nuzzling with my matthew

i'm generally not a fan of television....it'll keep you from getting anything accomplished if you let it. with that said, i have undeniable obsessions with the sopranos and lost.
