[Note: This post is in response to an article in the current (Jan/Feb.2006) The Alcalde--the magazine of the Texas Exes. The idea is to list the 10 pieces of media which have "revolutionized" your life, in order of encounter (i.e. I saw East of Eden in about 2001, but didn't read The Fountainhead until 2002/3). Explanation may be forthcoming here; however, not initially.... Any questions, just ask.]


Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
