My Interests

The moment, the national tour of Spamalot :), laughing until your stomach hurts, theatre, politics, my dog and cats, photography, Fort Tryon Park, France, books, Michigan State, good food and drink and good company to go with it, travel, dinner parties, NPR (esp Kurt Anderson, "This American Life" and "Car Talk"), coffee, baking.

I'd like to meet:

People who message me when they send friend requests (hint, hint).

Music:

Many different kinds and I'm open to lots more...

Movies:

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Almost Famous, When Harry Met Sally, Garden State, Waiting for Guffman, Mogambo, The Sting, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects, Newsies, Hitchcock movies, Edward Scissorhands, Ferris Bueller's Day Off...

Television:

Too much! Someone help me kick this habit.

Books:

So much material, so little time...really, I read whatever I can - fiction, nonfiction, plays, magazines. I read a lot of teen authors and sure, I could say it was for my job, but it's really because they are amazing writers with fantastic books. I'm also a big fan of Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris...

Heroes:

My mom - she taught me feminism isn't a dirty word. And my husband.
