Writing. Reading. Swimming. Appreciating. Discussing literature. Writing about art and literature. Reading about writing. Writing about writing. Swimming. Hiking. Jewelry-making.
Mostly people who are dead (Jean Rhys, Sylvia Plath, John Lennon...) A few celebrities because I'm human (David Duchovny, Johnny Depp...oh, did it say MEET? ahem); all the authors I ever had to interview by phone; anyone who likes to talk about life and books.
Spoon. Regina Spektor. Beth Orton. Aimee Mann. White Stripes. Morrissey. Devendra Barnhart. An old school Ani DiFranco fan.
I go with recent likes since it's too hard to list all time faves: I enjoyed Blood Diamond. Pan's Labyrinth. The Last King of Scotland.
The Office. Grey's Anatomy. (Six Feet Under--The Sopranos--ROme--all HBO, all over). Lost.
Recently I have loved: Mary Modern by Camille DeAngelis The Raw Shark Texts by Stephen Hall Astonishing Life of Octavian NothingM.T. Anderson
Anyone who harbored a Jew from the nazis. Anyone who has stood up to a totalitarian government. Whistle blowers and people who rescue animals, refugees and children.Feel free to add "bleeding heart" to the head of any description of me.
