I can't list any recent movies. I will use the four year-old as my excuse. I can tell you I like all sorts of movies, especially ones starring John Cusack, Adam Sandler, or Johnny Depp. Those guys rock my movie universe.
In case you haven't noticed, I have a four year-old. Most television revolves around the crazy amazing four year-old. This means I watch a lot of noggin. I refuse to list shows from noggin.
My 1996 paperback Oxford Dictionary has never let me down, (same goes for) my 1998 paperback Roget's Thesaurus, The Simple Truth by Philip Levine, Life Lessons by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Kurt Vonnegut, the short stories of Anton Checkhov, Ezra Jack Keats, Mo Willems, Anais Nin, William Carlos Williams, Langston Hughes, and a thousand others.
My Mom, Mr. Hively, Mrs. Allen, and lots of other people who inspire me with the cool little things they do each and every day.
