My Interests

If I could have a camera surgically inserted in my brain I would. Then I would just have to wink to take a picture. Why? I have no idea why, but I feel like I was put on this earth to document it. I am happier with a camera in glued to my face than without one. Oh, I also love dancing, travelling and anything adventurous outdoors- camping, kayaking, rockclimbing, sailing, swimming, jumping, diving, spinning, skipping, swinging and splashing.

Music:

All over the board: Grand National, Kings of Convenience, Flaming Liptards, Beta Band, Ghostland Observatory, Arcade Fire, White Stripes, Lee Scratch Perry, Clinton Feron, Bjork, Tori, Lyrics Born. I love love love old jazz and blues classics Billie Holiday, Etta James, Cab Calloway, Astrud Gilberto, Patsy Cline.... I love Orlando Cachaito, Gabin, Thievery Corp, St Germaine, anything with rythym, anything with soul, passion or spice.

Movies:

Classics in my book: Natural Born Killas, Run Lola Run, Waking Life, What the Bleep, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Tank Girl, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Frida....

Books:

Currently reading Counterlife by Philip Roth. It's OK to good. Very Jewish. Finished reading What is the What by Dave Eggars. LOVED it. It is truly depressing and beautiful. It makes you happy to be alive and to be human while simultaneously disgusted with our species. Did not like the last book I read Snow by Orhan P. Something or other. It won a Pulitzer but it did not win my heart. I love Tom Robbins, Barbara Kingsolver, Paolo Coelho, David James Duncan (wait is that right?) He wrote The Brothers K, soooo good. The Time Travelers Wife was great.
