Hi, I’m Erica.
I’m a journalist, a designer, a novice programmer … and I eat M&Ms in Roy G Biv order.
I am addicted to the news. Twenty-four-hour-news-channel addicted. Breaking-news-e-mail-alerts addicted. Text-message alerts and iPhone apps addicted. It’s a sickness — a well-informed sickness.

Movies
- The classics — “Citizen Kane,” “Casablanca” and “Roman Holiday” for starters. And then everything from “Amelie” to “X-Men.” Well, everything but horror and stupid humor.
- I love “The Paper.” Haven’t seen it? You’re missing out.
Don’t get it? Ask a journalist — there’s an equivalent to each character in the movie to a character in every newsroom.
