....Some of my favorite Movie Quotes (always adding to the list):

Guy 2: "You must not get out much"

"OF COURSE I LOVE YOU PORK CHOP!!!" The Aviator (I love this quote so much that I recently found myself muttering it like a crazy person by the frozen pork chops in Trader Joes.)

Books:


I highly highly highly recommend "The People's History of the United States" - totally changed my perspective. Other than that, I've liked "The Stranger", and "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". Always happy to hear recommendations.


Food
I like all kinds of foods but I get definite food-moods and cravings. I'm eating lots of seafood now that I'm back in MD. I also love all types of Asian food, Indian food, and Mexican food. I love almost anything that involves cheese. Yummm. I mostly drink Belgian white beers and my new favorite type of wine is Vouvray.
