About Me

I like to drive with the sunroof open and the radio cranked. I always get the window seat on airplanes. Between May 2007 and May 2008, I will have flown 50,434 miles, including 36 happy hours spent in business class of a United 747. 747's excite me; single engine planes terrify me. I'm on a quest to visit every major league ballpark (9 down- plus 3 at spring training. Fenway on deck next!). My passport has stamps from Japan and the Czech Republic among others. I drink martinis. Someday I'll get a dog. I'll only live in a city on the water that has a MLB team. Skyscrapers are beautiful. My desk is the cleanest in our office. I usually wear heels. I'm full of contradictions in that I highly dislike status things like Louis Vuitton purses, but I am highly attracted to men with status. The landscapes I am most comfortable in are canyons of glass and steel skyscrapers and lush tropical beaches. I feel a strong connection to Chicago, as if I was here before. Like from the 1890s-1920's. Then, I was probably gunned down for bootlegging.

Television:

..Lost, Family Guy, Entourage, The Daily Show, Sex and the City, I Love Lucy (which may be 50 years old, but is by far funnier than any current sitcoms), CSI, Seinfeld, Survivor, Anderson Cooper, those Chicago architecture shows on channel 11, Len and Bob!They're not necessarily my favorite shows, but I would kick a lot of ass on Top Design, The Amazing Race and Dancing with the Stars.

Al Gore-ish
