Fast facts

• At the movies I like to see: mostly art / indie / foreign films but also some tent-pole blockbuster pop fluff
• Last movie seen: will have changed by the time you read this
• Music I listen to: among many others: Al Green, Zebda, Decemberists, Clash, Nico, Thievery Corporation, Lyle Lovett, Afro-Pop, Latin, Classical (everything from Liszt to Chopin to Satie), minimilast (Glass, Cage, Nyman), many operas but almost no musicals
• Best album right now: no idea
• Favorite author: Haruki Murakami, although "An Imaginary Life" by Malouf is beautifully written
• Last book read: this category chages too often to keep current
• Best game right now doing whatever my 3 year old tells me to do: mostly "play pirate swords"
• Software I use: standard stuff, nothing exceptional apart from Opera
• Hardware I use: standard stuff, nothing worthy of note
• If I won 1 million dollars, I would: barely be able to afford my daughter's college education
• If I were a super hero I would: strive to be both subtle and humble while using my powers for Good
• I wish I could: spread contentment throughout the land, speak 37 languages, get the novel in my head onto paper, travel widely
• Favorite travel destination: where ever my friends are, or cities with a rich history and vibrant culture (Barcelona, Rome, Stockholm, New York, etc.) and sites of great quiet beauty (Arctic, Alps, the mountains of North Carolina)
• On my vacation I..: walk and visit contemporary art museums and walk and eat and walk and read
• Favorite sports team: I'm generally sports impaired but still think Graf was the best
• I'm passionate about: my family, my politics, my pets, my ethics
• Food I like: fruit, curry, sushi, seafood, phở, creamy soups with crusty bread, and so much more
• I don't like: fresh tomatoes, bigotry, bombastic bafoons, neo-cons, talking in theatres, homogenous suburban sprawl
