| Introduction | I love mystery, horror, fantasy, steampunk, lit fic, biographies, and personality-driven history. I don't care if it's written for adults, young adults or kids, if it makes me laugh or think or shudder, then yeah, I probably want to read it. And if Sarah Vowell or David Sedaris or Jen Lencaster wrote it, then I'd better look at that, too, because ... you know why. Basically, there is nothing better than being surrounded by books and more books. |
| Interests | Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, the search for better coffee, working through my latest cookbook, looking for my new favorite book, learning how to do anything while reading |
| Favorite Movies | Arsenic and Old Lace, Some Like It Hot, The Lady Vanishes, The Haunting, Thin Blue Line, Blood Simple, The Princess Bride, Shaun of the Dead, At the Death House Door, Best of Enemies. I grew up watching old black and white movies and fell in love with them. Movies are cool, but you have to stop reading and really pay attention! |
| Favorite Music | Just Won't Burn, 21, Back to Black, A Night to Remember |
| Favorite Books | The Bookshop, The Haunting of Hill House, Wolf Hall, Pride and Prejudice, The Parasol Protectorate Series, The Nine Tailors, The Blue Sword, Salem's Lot, Leviathan Trilogy, Monster Blood Tattoo, Graceling, Assassination Vacation, High Spirits, ... (seriously, what's my limit here?) |
You forgot your mom's birthday! What can you make out of super glue and olive pits?
Thank goodness both my mom and I are super-talented. I'll be whipping up a framework of carefully mouth-cleansed olive pits in an artful curved shape, leaving plentiful natural spacing between each pit for my mom to work her magic: dried flower arranging. She's gonna love it!
