Being silly. :)
Britney Spears. I just don't understand how someone could have that much money and influence and still have such hideous personal style. It boggles my mind. Maybe she does it on purpose to keep people like me interested?
My fabulous big brother (okay, bro-in-law) just got me a subscription to eMusic and I am still reeling from all the new options that are now available to me. My first download was this song by The Walkmen. Isn't it dreamy?
I've been watching a lot of tv shows on Netflix, and now I don't have the attention span for movies.
Lost, now that it's back on. Veronica Mars. Grey's Anatomy. The Office. My Name is Earl. The Simpson's.
Some books that have affected my thought process: The Little Princess (Burnett), The Secret Garden (also Burnett-that guy really knows the way to a little girl's heart!), The Trumpet of the Swan (White), Pastures of Heaven (Steinbeck), Frankenstein (Shelley), Les Miserables (Hugo), The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald), The Sun Also Rises (Hemingway), The Little Prince (Exupery), The Hundred Secret Senses (Tan), Jurassic Park (Crichton-before I read this book I had no idea math and science could be cool), The Celestine Prophecy (Redfield-it blew my mind but I'm still not sure I get it...was it fantasy or was it supposed to be real? it made me think, at any rate, and I like things that are both compelling and confusing), Peace is Every Step (Hahn), and Oh! The Places You Will Go (Suess). And pretty much anything by Stephen King because I think he has a great imagination. And I always liked reading Shakespeare, although admittedly I don't always get what's happening without someone acting it out for me. And technically that should be in the "Stage" section, rather than the "Books" section.
My boss, partly because she demonstrates that a woman can have an education, a powerful position, financial security, and a family, and her family doesn't get neglected because of her career. And also because she's put up with quite a bit of crap from me over the years and still signs my paychecks. And anyone who tries to make the world slightly more fair.
