Gender ideology, family structure, D.I.Y culture, Kate Moss, organic ingredients, writing my novel, electric-powered scooters, cute boys.
Someone to go on adventures with...and I'm still looking for someone who can teach me how to breakdance.
I gave in...here's the longer-than-necessary list: The Talking Heads, INXS (0f the Michael Hutchence era), Prince, Hole, Veruca Salt, Neko Case, Fleetwood Mac, Otis Redding, Billy Joel, Yo la Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Heart, Garbage, G Love and the Special Sauce, the Hidden Cameras, Pulp, Camera Obscura, Sublime, Chicago, The White Stripes, the Violent Femmes, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, Gnarls Barkely, My Bloody Valentine, Kill Hannah, the Pixies, Radiohead, Tori Amos, The Sounds, the Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, Oysterhead, Le Tigre, Beck, The Flaming Lips, TV on the Radio, Modest Mouse, The Beatles, The Turtles, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Huey Lewis and the News, Cat Power, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Parliament, Regina Specktor, the Allman Brothers, BLONDIE, Paul Simon, Fiona Apple, Elliot Smith, CCR, Outkast, The Four Seasons, Jeff Buckley, Kate Bush, The Cure, Morrisey, The Smiths, Nina Simone, Michael Jackson, Queen, Rolling Stones.
I have just enough homework to do where procrastination has kicked in and prompted me to fill this out...I love: Amelie, 200 Cigarettes, Reality Bites, Being John Malcovitch, Easy Rider, Swingers, Somewhere in Time,Uncle Buck, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Ghost World, American Movie, Girl Interrupted, American beauty, The Dreamers, Lost in Translation, Requiem For a Dream, Old School, (pretty much anything Wes Anderson)One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Annie Hall, Good Will Hunting. Oh, and I am intrigued by the fact that most like-minded people enjoyed I Heart Huckabees. I hated that film.
Vladimir Nabakov is (was?)a god. Please go read "Lolita" immediately so we can weep over it together. Vonnegut's "Man Without a Country". All and any Cynthia Heimel. Calvin and Hobbes. Deepak Choprah. Anything by the Brontes, the fictional works of Ayn Rand (not her philosophies) anything Roald Dahl, anything and everything from Steinbeck, Bertrand Russell, The Wall by Sartre, anything from J.D. Salinger, The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, and I also love John Grisham, Wally Lamb and recently, Gregory McGuire. I have a deep and profound appreciation for the writing of Elie Weisel. Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet... I am also interested in feminist philosophy and find Germaine Greer to be an infinite source of wisdom.
My mom. Betty Friedan & Elie Weisel.
