My Interests

she's good and this is pretty

Music:

these days it's mostly dan miles, ray lamontange, rachael yamagata, ryan adams, valeri lopez and brooke fraser. and also patty griffin, copeland, lakes, missy higgins, paramore, sondre lerche andyeahthat'sprettymuchitrightnow. i like when music and memories go together and i like new music, too.

Movies:

[subtitles on] i love watching jamaican films because it helps me remember what it feels like to be there...even though some stuff is tough and crazy [dancehall queen]...i LOVE LOVE how jamaicans talk. my brother and his friends are into zombie movies right now. sometimes i try to watch with them, and i got really into resident evil. but i still have to close my eyes and cover my ears a lot. i get really scared. i hate seeing those ugly monsters. but milla is such a sweet heroine because she doesn't look like she'd be tough. i'm a fan. huge surprise.

Television:

sometimes, rarely, i'll watch a couple cooking shows in the afternoon instead of taking a nap.

Books:

GOODNIGHT MOON. recently finished: HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU...kept making me laugh. currently: love in the time of cholera. the feast of all saints. notes from my travels by angelina jolie. emma. tom sawyer. the immoralist. textbooks. a few constant favorites: finn family moomintroll. stina and stina's visit [sweet lil swedish stories].

Heroes:

this is aaron. pray for him. june 6 he is having open heart bypass surgery [for a hole in his heart] which has a low success rate. he's severly autistic and a JOY to hang out with: this is ion:this is shantara:
