I take pictures of old cars (theez photos are not mine, them cars speak fur themselves), dead people and other random crap I find wandering around. I live with my sweet kitties, mioki-cat and ollie-cat, and my mouse friend, button. I like breathing clean air and eating yummy food. I like going to the bird sanctuary at Lake Merritt and hanging out with these guys: And these guys.. I don't have to go all the way to the bird sanctuary, they're yammering at my window starting at around 5 in the morning.

I hate to admit it, but I'm a movie snob, therefore, kindof annoying to take to a movie. Either I'll get into it and cry or laugh too loud or I'll point out all of the obvious mistakes. BUT there are some movies that I find flawless, The Motorcycles Diaries, Yaes, Thank You[very much], Cinema Paradiso, old John Huston films (Bogie taught me how to smoke) and everything that Pedro Almodovar touches. I'm a big Charlie Chaplin fan and am stoked when the Silent Film Festival comes to SF.
TV will rot your brain and will turn you into a consumer whore. But I don't hold it against anyone for watching it, it's their brain, they can rot it any way they want.
I'm reading way more since I bought (as a Christmas present to myself) a subscription to The New Yorker, now I am informed and aware.
