Music:

well at the top of my list would be a certain brett ryan and while i have no favorite songs, i'm especially keen to songs he wrote about me. red hot chilie peppers and iron and wine make me feel so happy and are second in line. bloc party reminds me of happy days in italy. counting crows reminds me of happy days in college. i have a soft spot for madonna, tina turner, billy joel, genesis, bon jovi, and other 80's music that becky reining keeps alive. postal service, broken social scene, arcade fire, dragon turtle, and belle and sebastian should be played on every sunday.

Movies:

yes please

Television:

the channels that i come in i can count on one hand. the shows that american house wives watch intrigue me. the spanish channels i can't understand.

Books:

yes please. if they have drawings, that's even better.

Heroes:

the girl who hitchhiked all the way to fabrica; robert crumb; my father
