I just got the e-copy of an interview I did for LitNews, an English-language paper about Lithuania. They did a feature story about me and my influences, specifically relegated to my Lithuanian family and upbringing. It was such a fun interview, and their star writer, Deimante Doksaite, really was a pleasure to work with. If you’re into it, and will allow me to toot my own horn, click on the link above and have a read!

Did you Java Dream?
I did… and all the coffee in the world won’t help me today. But if i could transport myself to Ninth Street Coffee, I’d have one of those dreamy cups of bliss. Its like coffee, but for heaven.
Spotted: Big Foot
Having rounded the corner, still buzzing after seeing Bradley Cooper exit his movie trailer on Madison Avenue, I started to really wonder if I was dreaming. I took a turn down a street somewhere in the east 70’s, and came across this random GINORMOUS foot sitting perched on a wooden box frame in from of a townhouse.
Heaven in Chiaroscuro
If you’ve ever spent any real time in Firenze, a still like this, which spends a whole ten seconds burning itself into your memory, will leave you simultaneously breathless and heartbroken (for not being there this very second). If you’ve never seen this movie, and have given up having actually trying to chew your way through E.M. Forster’s novel, I highly recommend pouring yourself a large glass of Chianti and letting Calgon take you away…..
Goldie-n Tears
Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower
How can you not love her beautiful tears in this still? I’ve been watching Netflix.com all week- catching up on old and foreign fashion-based movies and am completely in love with Goldie in this movie. The story revolves around this young record shopgirl who is in love with a supposedly married man played by Walter Matthau. Yeah, I couldn’t get Grumpy Old Men out of my mind either. The premise is a trip, as the leading man is a bit of a cad, and still gets the girl. Geez, the things our mothers had to deal with in their generation.
In the opening scene, Goldie’s character, who is heartbroken by said cad, decides to stick her head in the oven. I know its kinda sick to say, but doesn’t she just look fabulous doing it?
