I'd like to meet:


Cool Slideshows

Music:

Just about anything except gangsta rap and pop-country (ew). Some faves right now are Amy Winehouse, Rusted Root, Ani DiFranco, Barenaked Ladies, Eric Clapton, Cake, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Asylum Street Spankers, and my guilty secret is that I'm a closet Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton fan.

Movies:

The Godfather Trilogy, Jaws, Shawshank Redemption, Jane Eyre, The Mummy & the Mummy Returns, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Elf, Hot Fuzz

Television:

Sadly, most of my faves (X-Files, West Wing) are no longer with us. Current addictions are House, Numbers, Project Runway, Law & Order SVU, and SuperNanny.

Books:

All But My Life (Gerda Weissman-Klein), Harry Potter (I can't help it!), short stories by Flannery O'Connor, Night (Elie Wiesel), and Of Love and Other Demons (Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

Heroes:

My students at Wynn Seale Academy--we taught each other how to fly.

Things I Dont Know

New Year’s Resolutions
