Music, Movies, and Books

Jen - I probably like movies in the drama genre the best, but I also enjoy comedies, classics, documentaries, and "foreign" films of all kinds. I like many kinds of music...too many to choose from. I love to read, mostly non-fiction biographies, history, cultural studies...I'm currently reading Rosa Mistika, very, very slowly.

Dan - My faves are probably documentaries, but I also enjoy dramas and comedies. Pretty open with music unless it's county (can't stand that). When it comes to books, I've been reading science fiction recently, but love fiction too.

We have recently been watching a travel/food show on Netflix a lot. Huge Netflix users!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jen - I moved to Manhattan when I was 19 all by myself from a dinky little town in Idaho. I was pretty proud of myself :). It changed my life.

Daniel - I'm still working on mine.
