I am interested in having a great pair of jeans that I wear every day until a year and a half later when I get a better pair. I am interested in the news. I am interested in festivals and coffee shops and loud bars with go go boys. I am interested in participating, but I am also interested in watching and being watched. I am interested in trying new things. I am interested in finding you your dream house and I am interested in helping you sell your house. I am interested in fixing my bike some day and riding it again. I am interested in my rollerblades and the beach. I am interested in my smart and funny sisters and my large network of good friends. I'm interested in going to the nursury and sticking things in the ground. I am interested in fixing things. I am interested in staying up late. I am interested in going out and staying in, in equal proportions. I am interested in writing a couple of books. A am interested in reading a couple of books. I am interested in swimming laps and I am interested in the magazine that the stranger next to me on the plane is reading.
I'd like to meet:
The guy in the car in front of me on Echo Park Avenue. I would like to meet him and ask him, "Why are you driving so very slowly? Don't you have to be anywhere?" Then he would say, "No, do you?" And then I would have to answer, "No, I guess I really don't."
Music:
Some jazz club in Leimert Park, The guy who plays at that one piano bar every Thursday night, Dirty Sanchez, Morningwood, Three Dog Night, The Fifth Dimension, Earth Wind and Fire, Carpenters, Cher, The Guess Who, Helen Reddy, Elvis Costello, Elton John, The Boss, Joe Jackson, KD Lang, Dolly Parton, The Partridge Family (Red Album only), and when asked "Brittany or Madonna?" I always say "Madonna." ---
Movies:
Here's a tip, it's a movie called "Billy" starring Patty Duke. It's the best movie I've ever seen. Being There, After Hours, The Sterile Cuckoo, West Side Story, You Light Up My Life, every made for TV movie, Foul Play, Airplane, Airport, Airport 79, The Miracle Worker, The Bad Seed, Wait Until Dark, Children's Hour. --- How humiliating...
Television:
The Sopranos, The utter banal bullshit that is "The View," Project Runway, Daily Show, Stangers With Candy, American Idol, anything involving Nancy Grace, Skating With Celebrities.
Books:
Anybody's bio or memoire. For self-help, you can't beat Suze Orman (she has such great skin), and Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Heroes:
Superman, cuz he's really strong and can fly, all the garbage men, because life would be so stinky without them and Dolly Parton, for obvious reasons.
