Nobody told me there'd be days like these...Strange days indeed

My Interests

Music:

Lots of it. Music is good for you.

Movies:

Lots of them. They're good for you.

Television:

Madmen, 30 Rock, Entourage, The Office, My Name is Earl. HGTV.

Books:

Anything by TC Boyle is great. Roald Dahl - "Tales of the Unexpected" and "Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories" are two great short story books. The ghost stories book comes off the shelf each fall for a re-read. Dickens is always good when you want a good righteous dose of humanity. Wanna read a good book? Best American Nonrequired Reading series is full of good stuff. Some great shorts in there.
