About Me

I often get the urge to skip...I usually act on these impulses. I love the look of tea kettles...so it is unfortunate that I don't really drink tea. I am suspicious of people who don't like chocolate. Wearing new socks can totally make my day. I loathe any use of "LOL" and the misuse of the word "literally." I make killer brownies.

My Interests

Baking, cooking, knitting, yoga, crossword puzzles, games of any kind, karaoke, the mets, theme/costume parties, dancing, brunch.

I'd like to meet:

Jose Reyes. The Dixie Chicks. And people who refuse the bags at grocery stores...I bet The Dixie Chicks refuse the bags

Music:

DFA records, the weary boys, and all mixes made for me. Arcade Fire, Interpol, Beck, Blur, The Cure, Gorillaz, Broken Social Scene, Spoon, CocoRosie, Cat Power, Feist, The New Pornographers, Neko Case, A.C. Newman, The Streets, m. ward

Movies:

in america, when harry met sally, dazed and confused, this is spinal tap, the royal tennenbaums, the big lebowski, wet hot american summer (and no, it isn't porn) elf is my favorite holiday movie, and all movies that I have seen at the Telluride Film Festival (not because they were all good but just because it is an enjoyable way to see them).

Television:

Freaks and Geaks, Gilmore Girls, Simpsons (through season 8), Project Runway, Big Love, Veronica Mars, The Golden Girls

Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter (especially 1, 3, and 5), Middlesex, Catch 22, White Teeth, East of Eden, Geek Love, Cloud Atlas, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, The Phantom Tollbooth, and The Polysyllabic Spree (because it gave me a zillion more books to read).
