Email comms strategist in Los Angeles. She/her, “Ohio rizz” mom of a “six seven” kid, 40 or 50 years old, same height as Dolly Parton. Quietly panicking about world obliteration while sipping a jasmine green tea, probably.

Name two completely unrelated movies that share the same director

(I debated showing Misery vs. When Harry Met Sally, or vs. The Princess Bride, but then figured maybe those were too obvious?)
Movie poster for Alien: Resurrection, with the grim faces of Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder in green against a background of outer space Movie poster for Amélie, with the tagline “She’ll change your life.” It shows Audrey Tautou smiling impishly against a green background.

A single image from a film that immediately makes you hear a song from the soundtrack playing in your head
A scene from the 80s movie Real Genius; two students discuss important scientific research as they walk around the sun-drenched CalTech campus, looking at the yards of dot-matrix printer paper they’re holding as it flutters in the breeze. This scene is part of a montage (one of a bunch in this movie!), and the song is the extremely 80s “Number One” by Chaz Jankel.

Yourself, but as a cartoon
Lydia Deetz from the “Beetlejuice” TV series, sitting at the beach on a folding chair under a beach umbrella. She’s wearing a hat, glasses, and a red swimsuit, while reading a magazine. The magazine has a grinning red skull on the cover, with the title “RED SKULL FUNNIES”.

I never thought I’d love an ambient track from Minecraft of all things, yet here we are. Feeling self-conscious that I’m in the top 0.005% of all listeners for it, I’d like to think it’s only because not enough people know how lovely this track is!

From my Spotify Wrapped: My top song for 2024 was Featherfall by Aaron Cherof, for the Minecraft soundtrack. I’ve streamed it 125 times so far, which puts me in the top 0.005% of listeners worldwide.
