Introduction I'm a torn individual - I live and love gadgets and the web almost as much as I love the outdoors and the environment. Each day is a small struggle to strike a balance between living green and loving hi-tech: the two often don't agree with each other. Hence my late onset ambition slash probable career in transition: to become an online environmental communications activist. The Green Horn is me sounding off on my efforts to begin living green in a glittering metallic-silver world.
Interests Environmental issues, green living, nature, animals, books, running, hiking, biking, writing, journaling, collaging, jewelry-making, guitar-playing (I can't play but wish I did!), all things Mac (wish the apple were green...)I like old architecture and modern interior design. Dessert over main course.
Favorite Movies How about favorite radio turned TV show? NPR's "This American Life" has migrated to Showtime, Thursday nights. I'm sad for radio but also hooked on Ira Glass's mug.
Favorite Music Classic, alternative and folk-rock mainly. Very granola meets punk: Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison, Elvis Costello and The Clash. Rolling Stones, Rickie Lee Jones, Marvin Gaye, etc. Loving now: Cat Power and Alexi Murdoch.
Favorite Books Most anything by Indian, Irish and British writers and poets: Arundhati Roy, Anita and Kiran Desai, Roddy Doyle, Seamus Heaney, Jeanette Winterson. Also Diane Ackerman, Isak Dinesen, Jorge Luis Borges, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller. LOTR.
