View/Edit All All of My Comments

Music:

Wide range of tastes, pretty much into everything from ABBA to Zappa except too-sappy country, hardcore rap and most opera. LOVE Jewel (her folk-rock stuff, anyway...) Sarah McLachlan (voice of an angel!), Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Anna Nalick, Sheryl Crowe, ...yeah....chick rock....

Movies:

All-time favorites include Shawshank Redemption, Thelma & Louise, Stealing Beauty (mmmm....Italy...), the original Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Office Space, Sliding Doors, Under the Tuscan Sun (mmmm....more Italy...) and most EARLY Quentin Tarantino (spare me the blood, love).
Recently, loved Crash, and cracked up at The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Television:

LOST, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, ER, Sex and the City, Oprah....Wild Boyz and South Park (guilty pleasures). Also love Friends, Seinfeld and The Simpsons in syndication. Oh and I'm semi-obsessed with true crime, UFO or ghost-related stuff, too. I also watch the news, though I seldom believe a word out of the media's mouth...

Books:

All time favorite is "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb. I also loved "A Million Little Pieces" - true or not, it was a great read. Oh, and Laura Fraser's "An Italian Affair (mmmmm...Italy...)

Heroes:

i am my own hero...but everyone I love is a hero to me in one way or another.
