My Interests

What haven't I done? Just ask...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who thinks s/he has all the answers -- only to show them they're virtually clueless!

Music:

My latest music purchases -- New Joss Stone. New Marc Broussard. Old school Billy Joel. Rockin'!!
My latest music wants -- the Cliks album "Snakehouse", featuring Lucas Silveira, one of the first transgender artists to be signed to a major record label.

Movies:

Some great flicks -- Life Is Beautiful, Good Will Hunting, Gladiator, Chasing Amy, American Beauty, Moulin Rouge, Garden State, Lost in Translation, Spanglish, It's A Wonderful Life

Television:

VH1'S ROCK OF LOVE, baby! Even though I never EVER thought Bret Michaels was hot in any way, I still love watching the big-booby bimbos fight over him! My addiction to reality tv rears its ugly head-AGAIN.
I will alway be a sucker for MTV's reality TV...especially and Real World/Road Rules "challenges." I love watching the dumb-asses be more dumb-assier.
Three shows I could watch in re-runs and on dvd every day for the next year -- Law and Order, The Simpsons, and Gilmore Girls.

Books:

Currently reading "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier. Very engaging book!

My Blog

Was anyone actually listening?

Sorry -- I was just wondering. But then, I made the mistake of assuming that America would be smart enough to distinguish between talent and off-key showmanship. Alas, I set myself up for a major disa...
