INTERESTS
Interests: 80's new wave music, early 90's Brit pop, reading, cooking, sleeping, staying on Points (it's a Weight Watchers thing)
Favorite Music: My three favorite bands are the Smiths, pre-Achtung Baby U2, and the Toadies. I'm currently obsessing over 3 songs by MGMT. I typically just dip a little toe into a band's catalog, listening only to the songs I know well enough to sing along to while completely ignoring the other tracks.
Favorite Movies: Amelie and most other Jeunet films, Coen Brothers productions, many of the Wes Anderson flicks, V for Vendetta, Princess Bride, Friday, Studio Ghibli animation
Favorite Books: I've really enjoyed the works of David Sedaris, Al Franken, Kurt Vonnegut, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Chuck Palahniuk.
Books I Want to Read: I'm eager to read "Duchess of Palms" by Nadine Eckhardt.
Favorite Quotes: Amelie is suddenly taken by a strange feeling of complete harmony with herself. All is perfect in that instant, the softness of the light, this little perfume in the air, the quiet noise of the town. She breathes in deeply and life seems then so simple and clear that an impulse of love, such as a desire to help all human beings, overcomes her. - Narrator, "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain"
Favorite Foods: Asian, Indian, Mexican, Southern
Favorite Places: If I'm with Jason and/or Matt, anywhere is fine by me.
