I live in Vancouver, BC and I spend most of my spare time reading books, watching movies (especially classics) and cooking.

I also love camping, taking pictures, walking, New York City, old movie stars and my cat.

I'm 30 and I'm marrying my sweetheart this summer. Woo!

I watch A LOT of movies. I'm actually currently making a list of every movie I watch this year and I'm always at more movies than days in the year. Which might mean that I'm a loser and need to get out more.

A few of my favourite films are:

Crimes and Misdemeanors - Woody Allen, Hannah and Her Sisters - Woody Allen, Manhattan - Woody Allen, Strangers on a Train - Alfred Hitchcock, Rear Window - Alfred Hitchcock, North by Northwest - Alfred Hitchcock, The Searchers - John Ford, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - John Ford, Sunset Boulevard - Billy Wilder, That Obscure Object of Desire - Luis Bunuel, Before Sunset - Richard Linklater, The Wizard of Oz - Victor Fleming, It's a Wonderful Life - Frank Capra, The Women - George Cukor, Badlands - Terrence Malick, 3 Women - Robert Altman, Blood Simple - The Coen Bros., Blow Out - Brian De Palma, The Silence of the Lambs - Jonathan Demme, Inland Empire - David Lynch, Marty - Delbert Mann, Vampyr - Carl Theodor Dreyer, Taxi Driver - Martin Scorsese, When Harry Met Sally - Rob Reiner

Some authors I like very much are Amy Bloom, Paul Auster, Jonathan Ames, John Irving and John Fante.

A few favourite books are:

The World According to Garp - John Irving, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon, East of Eden - John Steinbeck, The Brooklyn Follies - Paul Auster, The Extra Man - Jonathan Ames, Written on the Body - Jeannette Winterson, Instant Love - Jami Attenberg, Ask the Dust - John Fante, Come To Me - Amy Bloom

I love Twin Peaks, The Wonder Years, Strangers With Candy, Lost and Nurse Jackie

I listen to music from the 20's - 40's almost exclusively these days. So basically I should hang out with your grandma.

But I also love Julie Doiron, Jawbreaker, Ladyhawk, Mirah, Neil Young, Romance, Rachel's, Stars of the Lid, The Replacements, Neko Case, Willie Nelson, The Bonaduces and John Frusciante
