| Introduction | The twenty-something version of Tom Petty's "American Girl", I wax philosophic over Weezer and Belle and Sebastian, drink espresso martinis and red zinfandel, wear black scarves in the Summer, and am obsessed with cover songs. ("Take on Me" - A.C. Newman, for instance.) Porches are for Indian Summer nights, ricocheting thoughts, and drinking cheap wine with close friends. Blaring The Cure while racing down the interstate with the windows down is the best form of therapy. Getting lost in a moment is pure ecstasy, and almost never happens. |
