the year of the Bang.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Right now I think I would like to sit in on a conversation between Lauren Winner and Michael Kelley. I think that would be a great conversation.

Music:

I am currently into Rosie Thomas and trying to like Over the Rhine because I am going to see them together in a few weeks.All time favorites...Patty Griffin, Jars of Clay, U2, Al Green, Radio Head, Van Morrison, Otis R., Rolling Stones, The Beatles, David Gray, Wilco, Ben Harper & David Wilcox

Movies:

The sad truth is I have been on a bender watching everything made by the guy who did Knocked UP. I just needed a cheap- somewhat shameful laugh. I also want to buy Hot Stuff to relive some vague childhood memories.Long time uncultured favorites...Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Space Camp, and Adventures in Babysitting Slightly less embarrassing favorites...Amelie, Everything is Illuminated, Pride and Prejustice (both versions), Millions, About a Boy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Television:

Right now Tivo is set to record The Gilmore Girls, Ellen, Friends, Damages and House.

Books:

Presently absorbed by autobiographies & biographies. I am almost finished with Evidence Not Seen, the autobiography of Darlene Deibler Rose. I am 50 or so pages into Bearing the Cross, a biography of MKL Jr., and Love is the Measure, a biography of Dorothy Day. I would recommend all of them but settle in Bearing the Cross is larger than those books about the wizard kid.

Heroes:

My Grandmother (Peggy Manning)

Lucky No. 7

I finally did it- I rode the bus to work. Turns out- not that big a deal. Now I just need to figure out how to get home :)

A Little Slice of Moldova in Green Hills

I went to see "The Italian" tonight and I don't think I have ever seen a movie that so closely resembled the life of the orphans i have met in Moldova. The Russian orphans in this movie looked and act...

Tree purchase goes bust...

I was going to blog about the new Acacia tree I bought in Niger, but because people won't recognize the superiority of the Mac, I can't buy my tree. I can't convey how sad this makes me. I spent more ...
