watching you watch me.
I'd like to meet:
real people in the real world.

Music:
I'm a pretentious music snob who'll listen to forms of alternative, bossa nova, classical, electronica, experimental, gothic, hip hop, indie, opera, polka, pop, punk, reggaeton, screamo, shoegazer, ska, standards, etc.. as long as it's done well.
I'm partial to foot-tapping when it comes to syncopated, off beat styles, minor key tonality, melodic string parts - mixed with acoustic and electric instrumentation. Lyrically poetic subject matter really strikes my fancy as well.
Movies:
The Believer, Brazil, Caterina va in citta, El Crimen del Padre Amaro, La cité des enfants perdus, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Fushigi Yuugi, Hook, Iron Man, The Lakehouse, Lars and the Real Girl, The Notebook, Pan's Labyrinth, Peter Pan (1960 w/Mary Martin) Lola Rennt, Ranma 1/2, Serenity, Spider Lilies, Tasogare Seibei, Tonari no Totoro, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
