About Me

Mercury is my best friend. Let's ask the difficult questions of eachother, the interesting ones, the ones of relevance, the ones that reveal us. And let's answer them, too.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My grandmother, back in time, at age 29. We'd sit on the Kansas Prairie and I'd make her tell me everything. My man, the Truth Teller...Stephen Colbert. Ellen Degeneres. Meryl Streep. Christopher Guest. David Spade. David Sedaris. Obviously Anne Lamott. Rachel McAdams. Timbaland. Jane Lynch. Doris Roberts. Jerry Seinfeld. Ben Stiller. Paul Giamatti. Barbara Kingsolver. Tina Fey. Eddie Vedder. ADAM DURITZ. Marilyn Meberg and Lucy Swindoll. The writers of the Office. Amazing and inspiring actors. Thoughtful and hardworking writers. Musicians that make magical, flying melodies. Producers that make me shake my ass.
