Music, Movies, and Books

Love movies, Latin American as well as mainstream, various kinds of music, particularly live, and am a book addict - love reading fiction, both by Latin-American and British/US authors.

Play the drums occasionally, and love to go to the movies, films from all over the world - especially when I have someone with me to discuss the film afterwards.
