My Interests

I'd like to meet:

WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU!
The Brownsville Herald is seeking a lead designer to head our news and design team.The ideal candidate will have excellent graphic and pagination skills, expertise in Quark, InDesign and Photoshop, display effective coaching skills and be an innovator in newspaper design. Must be highly competent in AP style, grammar and spelling.Send resume and work samples to Rachel Benavidez, editor, at [email protected].

Music:

We like it all. As long as no one was harmed making it.
Besides local acts, right now, we're listening to:
Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Julieta Venegas, E-40, Dixie Chicks, The Flaming Lips, Calexico, Los Kumbia Kings, Gnarls Barkley, Built To Spill, and yes, Daddy Yankee. Always Daddy Yankee.

Movies:

Anything with Spider-Man in it and stuff by good directors like Martin Scorcese ("Goodfellas"), Robert Rodriguez ("El Mariachi"), Quentin tarantino ("Pulp Fiction"), Richard Linklater ("Dazed and Confused"), Sophia Copolla ("Lost in Translation"), Spike Jonze ("Being John Malkovich"), Steven Spielberg ("E.T"), Michael Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"), Woody Allen ("Annie Hall"), Wes Anderson ("Rushmore"), Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth"), Wes Craven ("A Nightmare on Elm Street"), John Carpenter ("The Thing"), Spike Lee ("Malcolm X") ... you get the idea. Also comedies starring Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrel, Ben Stiller, Dave Chappelle and Abe Vigoda, but not Jon Heder or Rob Schneider or Larry the Cable Guy.

If taken out for dinner and a movie in Brownsville this week, The Scoop would choose to eat oysters and watch "Johhny Depp of the Caribbean:Johnny Depp's Chest"

Television:

Almost anything that doesn't feature Howie Mandell, seven strangers picked to live in a house, or the words "Get" "This" "Party" or "Started."

Heroes:

Our mommas mommas.
