When I was in high school, I co-authored a book with my mother. When I was in college we produced the revised second edition. Please check out How to Develop Your Child's Gifts and Talents During the Elementary Years. I am a slow reader, which I consider to be a blessing because it means books last longer for me. Besides the book links sprinkled throughout my diary, you can find:

I graduated from college with an honors degree in Film Studies. My favorite genres are action films, thrillers, and documentaries. I adore cinema and try to see as many movies as possible:
My favorite film of all time is Sólo con tu pareja (1991), which I have seen only once, while I was in high school. I would buy this film in a second if it were for sale on VHS or DVD. My favorite made-for-tv movie is Steven Spielberg's directorial debut Duel (1971). If you've never seen it, you should definitely look into renting it. The movie is fun and lacks Spielberg's later-developed Hollywood flash. I also really loved Bagdad Cafe (1990) for its unexpected strangenesses.

I am one of those people who loves to listen to the same song over and over. I'm not a fan of concerts for music I know, because I am somehow disappointed that they don't sound the same as the recordings, but I love live music that I didn't previously know, such as Groaning Mona.

My list of brilliant films is nearing triple digits, but the collection of performances that I would insist on you seeing is quite few in numbers, so be brave and go buy some tickets... The two best performances I have seen lately were The Vagina Monolouges and Blue Man Group. Blue Man is truly phenomenal. When I recommended it to my dad he asked, "Would I enjoy it more than a Dylan concert?" and I said that I thought so. Appropriate for all ages, the show is beyond mere description. You will laugh out loud in hysterics and delight. You can visit my entry about or the official site. Fifty-one percent of the world's population have one, so don't be embarrassed by the name. The Vagina Monologues are funny and powerful. I think you'd have to be ultra-conservative to not enjoy this show thoroughly. You can visit my entry about or the official site.
I enjoys plays, dance, and opera. Any time people are making art I'm willing to check it out... | |||||
