Vellichor Afternoons
I like trip-hop, anachronism, cats, both coffee and tea, the sound of rain on a tin roof, antique keys, pop culture as a substitute for religion, theatre, photography, Oxford commas, and, of course, reading.

Full of Secrets: Critical Approaches to Twin Peaks
I bought this after finishing watching Twin Peaks and being in the mood for more, more, more. The punch line to that is that once I finally got it, I realized it's edited by a professor in the English Department that I am a grad student in. Hilarity ensued.Really, though, I quite liked the book, even when I found the essays unconvincing or, in one case, completely bizarre. It's in my nature to want to dissect details of the things that I love--like Twin Peaks--and this collection of critical essays makes good company for that. My particular favorite is "'Disturbing the Guests with This Racket': Music and Twin Peaks" by Kathryn Kalinak, which nails the one question I had asked verbatim: "Who programmed this jukebox?" (referring to the odd musical inclusions on the jukebox at the Double R Diner).
