*She likes the first Jason Bourne movie, Pearl Jam, weddings, Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers, Joan Didion's essays, Munch's woodcuts, Magritte's weird neighborhoods, and Cezanne's "unfinished" landscapes. She drinks mostly hot water, writes long letters to her friends, does her best work very late at night, and is almost always cold. She strongly dislikes coffee, slow drivers, sycophants, and spiders.
