I'm an old lady in the making - I love playing scrabble and bridge, crafting, cooking, and baking. I just got a canning kit that I am thrilled about and my husband and I spend a lot of time listening to NPR, especially This American Life and Sound Opinions.

So, so many. Some favorite authors are Haruki Murakami, Douglas Coupland, Nick Hornby, CS Lewis, Margaret Atwood, Fyodor Dostoevsky, David Sedaris, and Jeffrey Eugenides.

All time favorite books are The Little Prince by Antoine Saint-Exupery and The Tale of Despereaux by Kate Dicamillo (not to be confused with the movie that looks pretty terrible).

I love anything that Charlie Kauffman and Michel Gondry do (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, Be Kind Rewind, the Science of Sleep), and I can't fail to mention the movie In the Mood for Love.

LOST, The Sopranos, The Wire, Arrested Development, Top Chef and most everything on the Food Network.

Sewing, print gocco, sending and receiving mail, collaborative print exchanges, embroidery, cooking and baking. Does interior design count as a craft?
