movie: Punch Drunk Love
book: Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini
album: There will be a light, Ben Harper & the Blind Boys from Alabama
questions:
1. What's the best thing you've eaten this week?
*fresh organic walnuts.
2. If you could take a vacation, regardless of cost, for 1 month where would you go?
*hmmm. good question. i'd like to go somewhere warm where i could lounge and do absolutely nothing. somewhere tropical. maybe central america somewhere? i'll have to think on this one a bit.
3. What was your favorite book when you were growing up?
*oh! "island of the blue dolphins" by scott o'dell. hands down. i really wanted to be karana, the main character. maybe that's why i'm obsessed with names starting with the letter "k." that and islands. dolphins not so much. the whole dolphin leaping as art/earrings/tapestry/windchime thing ruined it for me.

let me give it a thought -- does it mean one has to answer questions no-matter-what?
movie: Diva
book: The Caravaners - Elizabeth von Arnim
album: david broza - massada 99
1. The "project of your life" would probably be...?
*a writing project in which i needed to do a lot of research. preferably in that aforementioned tropical environment.
2. When you were a child, you were sure to one day work as a...?
*a writer.
3. The motto you always have and always will live by and for what reason?
*cold hands, warm heart? no. just kidding. it is "everything is temporary." even the worst situations, things that feel they go on and on and on, are simply transitional. and the great times. they are short-lived. everything will pass. understanding that the only "real" time is the present is difficult, but that's how i'm trying to live. too much time spent on what could have been or what's around the corner seems to bring me too many chest pains. great question.

Movie: Roller Boogie In a nutshell, rich girl Teri Barclay (Linda Blair) starts slumming down in Venice Beach where she meets Bobby James, the hottest thing on wheels (in theory - work with me here). She decides she wants to through convention to the wind by defying her parents and winning the Roller Boogie contest, but will she be able to overcome the forces of socioeconomics with Bobby and find true love? Will they win the contest? And will they save their roller rink from being taken from the drunken Irish propreitor by a hoarde of suit wearing mafia guys?
Book: Peyton Place, by Grace Metalious.
Album: Essential Adam Ant
Now questions for you.
1. Were you popular in high school?
*yeah, i guess so. i was the winter formal queen but not like those mean girls in "carrie." i almost fell on the floor in shock. i mean, i wore red eyeliner my freshman year! red! how embarrassing is all of that? however, i became properly invisible once again in college and remain there until this day.
2. Do you like squirrels?
*hell no. they leap at you.
3. Who was the better "Teen Wolf" - Michael J Fox or Jason Bateman?
*hm. i'll take michael j. fox. and not as a sympathy vote. i always liked justine better.
ps i will be adding "roller boogie" to my netflix queue. now that is a classic.
