| Introduction | I think that this blog is my response to mid-life crisis. With any luck it won't get any worse! |
| Interests | I am a politcal junkie! Can't you tell? |
| Favorite movies | I majored in Film undergrad, so I tend to like quirky, just-left-of-center movies; this list is not exhaustive. Shawshank Redemption, Prarie Home Companion, Slingblade, Blade Runner (director's cut), Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Kingdom of Heaven (theater cut), Beauty and the Beast (Disney cartoon), Hope Floats, Ulee's Gold, That Old Feeling, The Wall |
| Favorite music | Don't listen to very much music, although I used to sing a lot. Illusions of grandeur, perhaps. Now it reminds me of what a young silly I was. |
| Favorite books | I tend to like series better than individual books: My very favorite book is Night Watch by Terry Pratchett (but anything by Terry Pratchett is great), Susan Cooper, Madeline L'Engle, all of the Madeline and Babar books, some of Robin Hobb's books, Mistress Masham's Repose, The Phantom Tollbooth Books I recommend for my students to read: Terry Pratchett's kids books, the Harry Potter series, The Hobbit, Chronicles of Narnia, some of Judy Blume's books, The Phamtom Tollbooth |
