My Interests

Riding my bicycle while wearing skirts, music, www.flickr.com/photos/etoilee8, calvin klein underwear, architecture, planning trips to Maine (because I hear it resembles Norway), design, drinking coffee, sewing clothes, writing letters, keeping up with my UK penpal, keeping up with friends throughout the world, enjoying Brooklyn, bloggin', making care packages, other people's photos on Flickr, overpriced magazines (I have a wee high collection of Wallpapers*), Yoshimoto Nara, 60's furniture, all things Marimekko and sewing clothing.

I'd like to meet:

Dolly Parton

Music:

Well, it's autumn. . . so I'm mostly listening to: Bat for Lashes, Grizzley Bear, Arthur Russell, Inlets, Alpha, Solas and lots of folky stuff. . . I live in Virginia, after all. . .

Movies:

Anything made by Woody Allen (as cliche as it sounds. . . I just love it all, especially Everyone Says I Love You, Melinda Melinda and Deconstructing Harry. . . although Annie Hall is a classic). I also love Lost In Translation, Blue, Whale Rider, Sliding Doors, Dazed and Confused, Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Detroit Rock City

Television:

I don't watch a lot of tv, ironically.

Books:

Murakami and Vonnegut are my two favorites.

Heroes:

My godsister Sarah Cataldo who came out of a successful heart transplant surgery on July 27, 2006 (HER 8th BIRTHDAY!) and filled us all with hope and joy. She gives new definitions to the words "strength" and "bravery".
