Movies
Auntie Mame, Harvey, His Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story, The Thin Man, My Man Godfrey. Anything with Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell or Katherine Hepburn. Period pieces. Sense and Sensibility, A Room with a View, Beckett, The Lion in Winter, A Man for All Seasons, Lawrence of Arabia. Damn, never really thought about it, but I guess I seriously dig Peter O'Toole. Dario Argento horror flicks. Valley Girl. Romancing the Stone. The Terminator, Highlander, Titanic (and I ain't ashamed to admit it!).
Television
Absolutely Fabulous, The Office, Deadwood, Rome, Extras, America's Next Top Model (brilliant American satire that doesn't know it's satire), Rome, The Wire (brilliant American tv show that doesn't know its a novel)
Books
Are you kidding? Novels are so last millennium. I'm reading "A Natural History of the Senses", Livy's "Early History of Rome and I just finished, "I, Claudius" and another biography on the bitchinest medieval chick ever, Eleanor of Acquitaine.
FORGETFULNESS - By Billy Collins
I like movies with dirty words, trilobites, extreme yoga, broiled asparagus, skirting self-destruction, men with exceptional vocabularies, good books, friends who reinforce my longheld and cherished beliefs, swimming, sleeping, ambiguous endings, thin-crust pizzas and booze.
Who I'd like to meet: Someone who has survived nature's wrath and who doesn't mind lying for me when the occasion presents itself.
Hey what's going on? how's the movie coming along? U should convince Nick to go and see the RMP show tomorrow at G star because he keeps putting it off, and i dont know if hes been going to X scream, so get him back into tht as well. Anyways, i just thought i would say hi.
Why don't you come visit Vegas some weekend? I know this place has nada to offer compared to SoCal and its "vibe" but it would be fun to see you and hear what the years have been like for you. Isn't your reunion about now, did you/are you going to it???
