who wants to buy me a digital camera?

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
i suppose it's really a toss up between novels and non-fiction... i love a good autobiography, but i'm also a fan of a good story.

2. What is your favorite novel?
i don't know. i think wuthering heights, fried green tomatoes, beloved, anything by margaret atwood.

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
i like most of shakespeare's sonnets, but also adore dorothy parker....

If I had a shiny gun,
I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folk who give me pains;

Or had I some poison gas,
I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of
People whom I do not love.

But I have no lethal weapon ----
Thus does Fate our pleasure step on!
So they still are quick and well
Who should be, by rights, in hell.

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
I'd like to read the Harry Potters, Lord of the Rings, and Catcher in the Rye.

5. What are you currently reading?
Currently I'm trying to read A Beautiful Mind

i always knew i was smart and hot....you know you want some of this.


You are Dana Scully. You're a doctor who believes
firmly in scientific explanations for
everything, yet you're also a fairly religious
Catholic. You support Mulder and his ideas,
and accept that you have seen things you can't
explain. Yet, you remain his foil and
"keep him honest", forcing him to not
get too delusional. You never get your own
desk for some reason.


Which X-Files character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

tonight i watched two really good movies: the royal tenenbaums, and scotland, pa. you should watch these movies. they are wonderful. and maura tierney is so fucking hot i can't even think of words to describe how hot she is. i am speechless....except for dirty thoughts.. and they don't count as speech, right?

it occurs to me that i missed the friday five, and i know you hate it when i do that......

1. What is your most prized material possession?
i have my parent's wedding pictures, they were divorced when i was 6. they are irreplaceable. i also have a collection of playbills that my grandparents collected during their theatre-going days, including some pages from playbills that my grandmother's mother collected and framed. some of them date to the 1890's.

2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
i wasn't really sure at first, but i looked around and saw that i have a stuffed koala that's covered in koala fur, that i've had literally as long as i can remember, meaning i can remember having it when my parents were still together.

3. Are you a packrat?
incurably so.

4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
i would like to keep my house cleaner than i do, i'd like to have a place for everything and everything in it's place, but that never seems to work out for me... i suppose i would probably get nervous if my house was spic and span....

5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
i have an expertly arranged, aesthetically impeccable, visually inspiring and exasperatingly enviable collection of random knick-knacks that are all special for some reason or another.

well now, i know you've been waiting for an update... don't lie, you know it's true.

the truth is that i've been sick for a while now, and not really interested in life outside my apt., though others in my life (read: work) forced me to acknowledge it's presence and even participate in it against my will. i had a fever, i've had a persistent cough, and even some dry heaves! it seems to be over now, for the most part, and so i return (albeit reluctantly) to the more conventional routine.

friday night i went down to school to see pentecost, although i was too sick to do it (i didn't discover this really until i got there... not so good). it really was a great show. the cast did a nice job with an intense script and some powerful issues, and the design team really came together in some nice ways. i got back yesterday around 6, went to bed at 9:30 and slept until 11:30 this morning...

tonight i am watching the grammy awards, and i have to say that coldplay's performance of politik, backed by the new york philharmonic was in-fucking-credible. three musketeers opened officially on friday night, and at some point i'll try and find a review to link to. i assume it went well.

that's the nutshell... i had it, and you knew you wanted it.
