| Introduction | I'm big, I'm round, I love books, and yes, I'm a bum (with nice eyes, or so I'm told). Also, I have the biggest laugh of any person on Earth. (I get thrown out of comedy clubs for laughing too loudly, and my fellow programmers at work all wear noise-reducing headphones.) |
| Interests | All my favorite activities involve sitting: reading, writing, talking on the phone, emailing, IM-ing, watching movies with my dog, listening to music, driving to all the places I'm afraid to fly to. |
| Favorite movies | Thelma and Louis, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Groundhog Day, Kaos, Local Hero |
| Favorite music | Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Bach, Charles Mingus, Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Ruth Brown, Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, Beatles, Elton John, Nora Jones |
| Favorite books | Speak, You Don't Know Me, The Blue Sword/Hero and the Crown, Holes, The Dark Is Rising, Feed, The Remains of the Day, Obsession, Island of the Aunts, A Winters Tale, Water Music, West With the Night, The Windup Bird Chronicles, The Clan of the Cave Bear, Atonement, Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon |
