About me I hold a Bachelor's in Film & Video (emphasis on film studies), and will start (hopefully August 2008) on a Master's in Film Theory/History with a cultural studies emphasis on new media and fan cultures. (But let's be honest: I'd rather just teach instead of writing rejected paper after rejected paper.)

Apart from that, there's not a whole to know. My life seems like a Woody Allen/Noah Baumbach movie sometimes...so it has that going for it. Except no one's exactly that clever, and no matter how hard I try, I can't pull Marshall McLuhan out from behind a display.

I also spend too much money at Borders. I need a support group.

About my library It's not as large as it should be! Far too much manga, but I need something easily digested and fun.

Despite my college career, I have surprisingly few books about film. My professors have all preferred packets so far, and, as a result, I have a lot of individual chapters from a lot of different books. Surely graduate school will change that!

I think it's a bit of snobby library, but so is my DVD collection (see below), so I suppose it works out okay. I'm a huge Haruki Murakami fan (obviously), and I really like books that draw me in some way.

The '3 for 2' tables at Borders are my nemeses. They make me buy things that I possibly wouldn't have otherwise. (However, it does make me buy more contemporary literature than I would otherwise, so that's a plus...I think.)
