yogurt, granola, painting, large bodies of water, books (all sorts), scarves, scars, boots, snow, movies (but not horror ones), thrift stores, daytrips, impulsive behavior, beer, whiskey on the rocks, porches, sun, springtime, young handsome people. Rediscovering the art of sending mail by paper letters with individual drawings on every envelope. Vegetables. Bicycling as transportation. Art Trades. Really good and cool and awesome artists, like Walton Ford, David Hockney (prints, fo real dog), David Schnell, Peter Doig, Caravaggio. Constant likes include: Daniel Dove, Balthus, Francis Bacon, Chuck Close, Maurice Sendak, Edward Gorey, Vermeer, David, Rembrandt. All things historical and contemporary. Stuff. Gossip, yes gossip; the propensity Hollywood celebrities have towards being weird. Really good hugs. The inexplicably addicting phenomenon of Missed Connections on craigslist. Dick Van Dyke, Paul Newman, and Tom Hanks the young Bachelor Party version, and last but not least, Jon Stewart.

Anything by Shel Silverstein. I've been devouring books at an amazing rate since being in school which is pretty strange since I don't really have any time-but lately its been The Time Traveller's Wife, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Voyages of Dr Doolittle (previously read as a youngster), and The Picture of Dorian Gray. God damn it, Oscar. God damn it. Blindness. Undertaking: LIfe Stories of a Dismal Trade, Ghost World, Sleepwalking, Life of Pi, which if anyone else has read, I would like to hear your take on the ending. The godfather(no kidding), tunnel visions, east of eden, a wrinkle in time, a light in the attic, where the sidewalk ends, catcher in the Rye, little prince, the giving tree(love love love shel silverstein), carrie, books that are lent to me by people who feel I would like them, danny champion of the world, james and the giant peach (actually just anything by roald dahl) the world according to garp, narnia chronicles, maurice sendak books Watership Down, Rats of NIMH. Books that make me cry, because I think that's the hardest thing to do really.
