 My favorite diaries:
|
|
no-answers profile - diary |
| comments: Even if she has no answers, she asks all the right questions. Witty and charming. |
|
splorch profile - diary |
| comments: Okay, so she called me colored poultry. Won't hold it against her. But she does like Buffy - so she must rock. C'mon, just look at her name. It screams coolness. |
|
pixaholic profile - diary |
| comments: There are some diaries you just need to read. No questions asked. Take my word for it. |
|
lizardspace profile - diary |
| comments: How can you not like a diary called lizardspace? Just too cool. |
|
canadiangrrl profile - diary |
| comments: She tugs at my heartstrings. And she's from my favorite country. Excellent combination. |
|
sexploration profile - diary |
| comments: Because, even though I never update anymore, she still keeps me on her "favorites" list. Also, because I think tonight she needs a buddy. So I'll make her one of mine. |
My favorite music: |
|
DJ Sinergy |
| comments: He can say more with music than I could ever say with words. Musically - and personally- a powerful presence. |
|
Charlie Parker |
| comments: Or actually, Jazz in general. I chose The Bird only because his CD is closest to me. |
|
LadySmith Black Mambazo |
| comments: First heard them with Paul Simon (another fav). Rocked my soul. I actually like African, Afro-Peruvian, and Latin music in general ... but, again, this CD is within sight. |
|
Dave Matthews |
| comments: I would like to one day have a cup of tea with Dave Matthews. |
|
Gypsy Kings |
| comments: Hauntingly beautiful. As soon I hear them, I think of Miami. And guava cream cheese bagels. |
My favorite movies: |
|
Almodovar |
| comments: Any movie by this man I think is a sheer joy to watch. |
|
Fight Club and Dogma |
| comments: Two movies that should be required viewing in all universities. |
|
The Shining |
| comments: This was the first movie to scare the hell out of me. |
|
Say Anything |
| comments: Child of the Eighties. And a hopeless romantic. Consequently, I love John Cusack movies. |
|
Like Water for Chocolate |
| comments: I know probably everyone loves this movie - but it's for good reason. It's a damn good movie. I cried like a baby. |
My favorite authors: |
|
Pablo Neruda |
| comments: "love is a journey with drowning air and storms of flour" ... The first man I ever truly loved |
|
Stephen Dobyns |
| comments: "he was exotic/his playing was hypnotic". Gotta dig a man who writes about Thelonious Monk. |
|
ee cummings |
| comments: "and from this endless end/briefer each our bliss/where seeing eyes go blind/and lips forget to kiss" ... I admire someone who refuses to capitalize their name |
|
Gabriel Marcia Marquez |
| comments: We all need a little magical realism in our lives. |
|
Harlan Ellison |
| comments: "I am crying for the loss of all the years I spent without you, the years before I met you, the lost years of my life; and I am crying because there are less years in front of me than all those lost years behind me." ... Stunning. Enough said |
