I am here for Friends

About Me

New feature: "Ask The Philosopher!" I have my B.A. degree in philosophy which of course automatically means I am super, super, super smart. Don't question me! Please submit your questions to me and I will answer them in my MySpace blog. I guarantee that the answer you receive will be the correct answer or your money back. Thanks to Tom U. for this idea. Tom receives an "Ask The Philosopher" tee shirt and 5 lbs. of free beef! Just tell them "The Philosopher" said it's okay when you walk out of the store with it! . . . . . . . Steve Martin studied philosophy as an undergraduate, and for a while wanted to go on and teach it. He later said in "Wild and Crazy Guy", "If you're studying geology, which is all facts, as soon as you get out of school you forget it all. But philosophy, you remember just enough to screw you up for the rest of your life".
You Are Rum
You're the life of the party, and a total flirt You are also pretty picky about what you drink Only the finest labels and best mixed cocktails will do Except if you're dieting - then it's Diet Coke and Bicardi all the way What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

My Interests

Surfing the net for whatever pops into my mind, reading non-fiction and then forgetting it, gardening (with one hand tied behind my back), critiquing sit-coms that I never watch, drinking coffee and then feeling guilty about it, cracking jokes just to see my husband roll his eyes at me, jogging when I can, reading the movie reviews at MetaCritic.com but never going to the movies, playing with my two sons, building chicken pens compulsively, breaking a sweat every day. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Here are the "celebs" I'm "into" at the moment: List subject to change at any time and I am also allowed to make fun of them: elliott yamin, patrick warburton, kevin corrigan, josh charles, the PBR (bull riding), andy garcia, chris elliott, melissa peterman, shia labeouf, david cross, mr. show, bill murray, eric frye, ed helms, rob corddry, kyle dunnigan, the cast of reno 911, mike nelson, ricky gervais, sacha baron cohen. . . . . . . . . I also keep chickens in my backyard and have a website, TheCityChicken.com. . . .

I'd like to meet:

Who would I like to meet? That’s simple: Any of my fans! How many of my MySpace “friends” have I met through MySpace? Well, my #1 friend there is WavyG., and I met him via the newsgroup alt.fan.chris-elliott, about 10 years ago. We’ve been virtual mere acquainances ever since. My #2 “friend” is not a friend at all. He’s my husband of 13 years. Ha! Did you laugh? As you can see, I’ve made my MySpace page a touch more emo, a touch more metrosexual, with a touch of sprinkles and hot fudge, all in order to please the kids these days. I’ve tried other on-line “social networking” sites but none are as good as MySpace. Other ones I’ve tried are ones like Friendster, LiveJournal, BlogSpot, Scrumptulescent, ShitFaceBook, Opportunitystakes, and FriendAdolf. . . . . . . .

Music:

I usually have Stevie Wonder in the cd player 'cause I like to sing along. (He put out something like 25 albums.) Then I just download miscellaneous stuff that interests me. Everything from the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, to Ella Fitzgerald. . . . . quote: "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent." . . . .

Movies:

Fave movie: 'Harold And Maude'. I identify with Harold. . . . . . . . . Vital Statistics of TheCityChicken . . . . . . Height: 5 feet, 5 inches of pure lady. . . . . . Weight: Oh, about 145. . . .Age: Old enough to know you are a poser! . . . . . . Eyes: Green pools of hatred. Actually, one is love, one is hatred. . . . . . . Hair: Dark brown, kinda frizzy, medium length. . . . . . . . Self-aggrandizing title: “Katy is the funniest person Katy knows.” . . . . . . .Fun facts: I have no tatoos, and I have corn rows! One of those is true. . . . . . . . .Turn ons: Guys with dark curly hair yet pasty skin. . . . . . Turn offs: Smoking, spitting, and liking any of the “CSI” shows. . . . . . . . . .Comment: “I’d like to thank my mother, for making me possible.” . . . . . . . . .What my friends say about me behind my back: "Look at her back!" . . . . . . . . .Personal quote: “Break a sweat every day.” Or, “Take care o bizniss and bizniss will take care o you!” . . . . . . . Tip of the day: If you’re a gold nugget charmer, hit me up twice nice. I don't know what that means. . . . . . . . . .MySpace: It totally rawks and is hawt! It can make you, too, talk like this! . . . . . . . . Emo kids: Why does Emo Philips have so many fans these days? I don’t get that. . .

Television:

. . .

. . . All the hipster comedyhead stuff, you know: The Office (domestic and imported versions), Extras, Da Ali G. Show, Reno 911, Get A Life, The Daily Show, Strangers With Candy, Mr. Show, The Kids In The Hall, Monty Python, Yacht Rock, SuperDeluxe.com, Freaks & Geeks, etc.

Books:

The internet. It's one big book! "Da super informational super highway." . . . . . . . . OkCupid.com's "what kind of funny are you" test: Katy is: The Wit . . . . . (52% dark, 34% spontaneous, 10% vulgar) . . .Your humor style: CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK . . . You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat. I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate. You probably loved 'The Office'. PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Jon Stewart, Woody Allen, Ricky Gervais. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Urban gardens

Looks like you can use kiddie wading pools to garden in...even if you live on concrete.   Cool.  Neat.  I think they would really conserve water, too.  ...

Today there was a male black-headed grosbeak at my feeder.  It took me a second but I identified it without looking at my field guide.  Then apparently I knitted a doily, put on some fresh D...

I dunno

My new hair cut is just too Jami Gertz from "Twister" circa 1996.  Okay, that's an obscure reference.
