But there are moments, walking, when I catch a glimpse of myself in the window glass, say, the window of the corner video store, and I'm gripped by a cherishing so deep for my own blowing hair, chapped face, and unbuttoned coat that I'm speechless: I am living...." - Marie Howe Some Favorites: last updated 8-1-07 Books: Bel Canto (Ann Patchett) Movies: Stranger Than Fiction, The Hours, The Illusionist TV Shows: Battlestar Galactica, Sopranos, House Music: Gin Blossoms, Dresden Dolls, Joan Baez, Natalie Merchant Interests: Anthropology, Writing, Literary/Social/Philosophical Theory, Religion, Politics Quote: "We go on.
