I LOVE:
genius in all forms
obnoxiously beautiful women
paintings
writing
the I Ching
books
words
open bodies of water
European music festivals
Sundays
the sun
plants
astrology
(only personality and relationship stuff--no fortune telling)
oh yeah...music.
Cecily Brown, Richard Diebencorn, Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers or anyone who can teach me a word I don't know.
I LOVE:
cute, depressed, boy groups
jazz (even the hard stuff)
DJ's who stay up all night cutting and pasting.
mariachis playing sad mexican love songs on a beach
girl singer-songwriters
loud, obnoxious rock-n-roll
(especially in my car, especially in the spring)
friends picking guitar in my living
room
friends playing a baby grand in someone else's living room
good rap
bad karaoke
old standards,like my mother sang while she washed dishes by hand at our kitchen sink
hip-hop
and I'm loving prog-rock these days
...but my favorite musical experience is falling asleep on the couch in Pat's studio at two in the morning while he's working on something new.
My dark secret:
I LOVE really cheesy romantic comedies with happy endings
I know it's wrong but I can't stop.
I never watch T.V. except by accident.
I read a lot. I get absorbed in authors, genres, subjects.
Suggest a book, we'll see if I've read it. I was reading a lot of working scripts, because I just finished a screenplay with my beautiful writing partner, Lauralei Combs, but I started writing a book so I was researching the "Chic Lit" genre. Now I'm working on another screenplay, but I've become totally enthralled with the concept of finding Karma and past-lives in birth charts and I'm reading anything I can get my hands on about that subject.
Actually I'll read the back of a cereal box...
