Music:

elvis costello, freedy johnston, lyle lovett (don't laugh), otis redding...ummm...pixies, john coltrane, erasure, jesus and mary chain, duke ellington, dizzy gillespie, travis, did i mention elvis costello?

Movies:

Books:

dorothy sayers. and jane austen. if everyone were like jane austen, the world would be perfect. and have you ever read the rotter's club? because you should.

Heroes:

how I discovered The Rotter's Club

"Do you have the Archemist?" "Do you mean the Alchemist?" (oh fuck, she's Asian.)
