wandering aimlessly in the city and contemplating the complicated nature of our existence; junk food; my swank iphone; pizza for dinner every night; the wii & guitar hero; my tiny apartment; not-so-secretly turning into a cat lady; dreams & moving away, but always staying; the boy; music; yea, something like that.
Music
spanish guitars; elliott smith; iron & wine; wilco; anything from sweden; above the fold & sean gibson; the whole canadian indie scene; jose gonzalez; anything beautiful or melodic; ryan adams; my morning jacket & band of horses; bon iver; &etc.
Movies
moulin rouge, eternal sunshine, american beauty, memento, the garden state, the royal tenenbaums or anything by wes anderson, seven, adaptation, amelie, city of god, requiem for a dream, the basketball diaries, millions, romeo and juliet, thumbsucker, fight club, pieces of april, snatch, etc. etc.
Television
i hate cable. i watch shows on dvd to kill the time if the time needs killing...reruns of friends & grays anatomy; scrubs; and six feet under every so often. also sex and the city, of course.
Books
poetry, in general (esp. ee cummings, rilke, and bukowski); the russians; anything timeless & classic; all hemingway, faulkner, & fitzgerald; i like everything i read, but i'm picky and only read things that are great; i'm trying to read more modern stuff, but i'm not sure it completely suits me;
here's to opening and upward, to leaf and to sap
and to your(in my arms flowering so new)
self whose eyes smell of the sound of rain
and here's to silent certainly mountains;and to
a disappearing poet of always,snow
and to morning:and to mornings's beautiful friend
twilight(and a first dream called ocean)and
let must or if be damned with whomever's afraid
down with ought with because with every brain
which thinks it thinks,nor dares to feel(but up
with joy;and up with laughing and drunkenness)
here's to one undiscoverable guess
of whose mad skill each wold of blood is made
(whose fatal songs are moving in the moon
--ee cummings
Who I'd like to meet:
"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
--kerouac
"It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed. It is shyness before any sort of new and unforseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope, but only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical, will live the relation to another as something alive."

I must ask though, do you ever miss Colorado? I had such a wonderful time visiting out there twice...one day when I'm rich (hahaha) I plan on buying a second home somewhere in that state! I'm such a beach girl, I surely could never live there all year round! Glad to hear you're doing well! Maybe I'll come visit sometime; you can show me the hot spots and I'll show you my big pregnant belly! hahaha! <3
hey you! long time no talk! hope you are well and living it up in nyc! i rarely get out there, but it's always nostalgic when i do. familiar, yet unfamiliar with so much to be explored! i never really miss the old days, just feel them blow through me sometimes! i am now pregnant, so i've got a lot going on with that! i hope to hear from you soon! you look so beautiful in all your pics! stay well! <3
