Movies:

Jim Jaramusch, Sid & Nancy, David Lynch stuff, suspense thrillers with lots of twists and turns and surprise endings.

Television:

Lifetime Television for Women (I've seen almost all the movies and even lived a few), HGTV ("Flip that House"), E! True Hollywood Story,Days of Our Lives (sometimes), The Weather Channel (I'm obsessed with the weather), old 80's shows on TvLand like All in the Family and Three's Company.

Books:

Fiction, Victorian novels, Latin American fiction, post-modern novels, philosophy. My favorite authors: Joan Didion (especially "Play as it Lays"-I've read it about 10 times), Flannery O' Connor ("Wise Blood"-dark humour and bizarreness that I like), Sandra Cisneros, Milan Kundera ("The Unbearable Lightness of Being"--I'm a mix of heavy and light myself), Bret Easton Ellis ("Less than Zero"),Marguerite Duras ("The Lover", "The Sea Wall"-heavy stuff), Charles Portis ("Dog of the South"-Hilarious!),Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa & others. I love Tolstoy's short stories and the irony in them like "How Much Land Does a Man Need". Two of my favorite books are Somerset Maugham's "Of Human Bondage" and Vargas Llosa's "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter"-funny. I also read a lot of children's books and Young Adult Novels. I love old classics like Winnie-the-Pooh (I'm Eeyore sometimes), Pippi Longstocking, and S.E. Hinton ("That was Then, This is Now" & "The Outsiders"). I used to read Mary Gaitskill and Darcey Steinke ("Suicide Blonde"-strange) & Elfriede Jelinek, all post-feminist (I would say) writers.

Heroes:

Peace-loving people. People with strong voices who have a lot of important things to say: Maya Angelou.
