(s-t-a-u-n-c-h), v for vendetta, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, casino royale, quantum of solace, milk, shortbus, frida, party girl, religulous, little miss sunshine, love actually, amelie, dancer in the dark (bjork is amazing - quite possibly the saddest movie ever, though), sweeney todd, the producers, chicago, lord of the rings, harry potter, the golden compass, also i'm a sucker for movies from back when i was a kid, like the disney ones, and campy ridiculous musicals, etc. there are soo many more, but the movie question always gets me.
Television
i don't watch tv hardly at all, but some of my favorite things to watch are tv shows on dvd. i love absolutely fabulous, six feet under, sex and the city, queer as folk, will and grace, seinfeld, curb your enthusiasm, arrested development, 30 rock, weeds, the chelsea handler show, french and saunders, chappelle show, flight of the conchords, boondocks

ah, fresh eyes :) def. a reason to smile. kinda like if we ever heard goodie gumdrops or something like that--although, that might make you curl up on the floor and start rocking back and forth. it has been way to long and we should totally try to make it a point to see each other when you're in town again. let's try!!
Thanks for the compliment on the pic! Yeah, I lost a bit of weight over the past year so I look a tad bit better and show off some. Things are okay, starting to think ahead to the future (next year) and thinking I'm ready for a move. Still want to stay in N.C. but get the heck out of Greensboro. There's nothing there for someone under the age of 55 or 60 to do really. I come to Durham from time to time. Next time you're in the area we should hang out. Try to have a bit of fun with the school thing. --- A
Jeff! I decided to take a little myspace diversion and of course thought of dropping my fellow DSA-survivor a note. Hope you're doing well and the summer has thus far been good for you. --- A
Thank you, girl!!! sorry we missed each other before you headed back to school. i'm in california until saturday. maybe i'll head up to asheville for a night and we'll party. :)
hello, hello, hello my long lost friend. i miss you. are you in the dtown for summer? we should try to hook up some time soon. even if it's just for coffee or something.
haven't been back to hawai'i since christmas, but getting ready to go back again for a week in july again :) think you can make some time for an old friend in the next couple of weeks?
hey hun bun!! It's going well I guess :) The dread of going back to our beloved UNCA is eating my soul but other than that it's great! What's new with you?
