Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly New Wave and Punk Rock... but have my guilty pop pleasures :)

Movies: e.g. Catch Me if You Can, Groundhog Day, the Die Hard movies, but also smart RomComs like You've Got Mail (I used to like Trainspotting best but I have grown older and chose life)

Books: e.g. Sylvia Plath, Franz Kafka, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lauren Weisbergers The Devil Wears Prada (because it was a brilliant critique of exploiting internships after your university years)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote a travel diary for a friend who had to cancel a journey with me shortly before. The little book was not amazing for me. But her reaction showed me that it was for her
