You must not know 'bout me.

About Me

I love cereal. I hate Julia Stiles. I love world news. I hate flakes (not the ones in cereal). I love volcanoes, sharks, and cocktail hour.

Rain is amazing and makes me sleep like a baby.

I've had a crush on James Gandolfini since True Romance.

People tend to overuse exclamation points and that pisses me off.

Film and literature quotes tickle my fancy.

I have an overt love for female super heroes - mostly because I want to be one.

I live, love, laugh and work hard.

If that hasn't summed me up sufficiently...good.

My Interests

Film. Politics. Travel. Sports. Shark Week.

I'd like to meet:


Baz Luhrman, Marc Forster and whoever takes the reigns on the Wonder Woman and/or Justice League franchise(s).
East coast minded West coasters.

Adventurous hip shooters.

Tell it like it is literature snobs.

Film fanatics who look to laugh and be moved.

Billy Joel lovers.

Comic book nerds.

Experts on sharks and shoes.

Men who don't wear eye liner and skinny jeans or talk like women.

Sports nuts who yell at the TV.

Anyone actually trying to make this world a better place.

Keith Olbermann, Barack Obama, Grady Sizemore, LeBron James and Anderson Cooper.

From Football to Baseball to Basketball - One Womans Roster.

Over the past few weeks I've been putting an awful lot of damage on my bank account. Call it an homage to the forth coming SEX AND THE CITY movie or an acknowledgment of my stimulus check, but I've in...

The Rain in LA and the Handicap of the Internet

It rained here today and I couldn't be more grateful. Sure, it turns people into oddballs and makes driving next to impossible, but it cleans the air and provides a clam this city doesn't often see. I...
