"An Ignorant but entertained populace is especially dangerous in a democracy, where the ignorant majority, basing their votes on 30-second TV commercials, can outvote the educated minority."
- Jim Trelease "Why Read Aloud"
Music
everyday
Movies
all things coen brothers, most especially the big lebowski, christopher guest movies, amelie, the indiana jones movies, espcially raiders of the lost ark, how stella got her groove back...just kidding! dirty dancing...not kidding, walk the line, napolean dynamite, royal tennenbaums, life aquatic, stop making sense, history of violence, and in general movies that illicit extreme emotion or discomfort. the ones that make you really think and feel. most recently Little Miss Sunshine.
Television
TV rots your brain...I left mine in Indiana with the cold and the cows.
Books
Most recently- Confederacy of Dunces
Next- A Joan Didion Book lent to me by Max
Heroes
people who commute on their bikes, even in the rain. people who take care of sick animals. toll collectors, they hang out in the middle of the road and say $2 over and over and over again, and breath gross car exhaust all day long. i mean the fact that they don't get pissed off and just start freaking out is pretty amazing!
About me: broccoli, my cat, the spring when things are blooming, tequila, warm weather, having the ocean (or the bay rather) 2 blocks away, watching my house plants grow, having a good day a school, having my hair played with, chocolate, discovering new music, the bluegrass band that plays live at the saturday farmer's market, the saturday farmers market, strawberries, my friends new babies, house guests, oranges- navel not valencia, a good book, learning new ways, my yoga teachers, tuolumne meadows... the rocks in Joshua Tree.
