Television
learning types of shows or documentaries, reruns of old crap sitcoms, I would enjoy a channel that presents videos from the 80’s so I can travel back into pre-teen thoughts.
Books
american elf, a hundred years of solitude, jitterbug perfume, love in the time of cholera, a prayer for owen meany, air guitar, art and fear, the color purple, temple of my familiar, their eyes were watching god, persopolis I and II and poetry. Lately its much too much non-fiction and cookbooks. Its time for some more of that magical stuff.
Hey stranger. I'm in Afghanistan now, so I don't get much time to check email. I'll check it out next chance. Rio was fun. Wish we had more time to hang out there. What are you up to these days?

Some nights better than others, but I still sleep don't sleep well. The cat just adds to the prob. Not as bad as it was in the past, but not any better, if that makes any sense.
Ana!In every conversation I've had since yesterday, I will ask myself and the people involved, "How can I bring the subject back to Ana and Breaker?" and "Have I mentioned how beautiful Ana is?" and other such topics. Basically, I love you.
it was great...we went to the $1.00 people...the instructor told us (with a thick german accent) "beginner's yoga? there is no beginner's yoga...you don't need beginner's yoga"... i was afraid it would hurt my back, but it helped it...we are going to go again in about an hour...
