About Me

It was a dark and stormy night; and the shit was about to hit the fan. Little did Rachel know, she was going to be as busy as a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest, and as freaked out as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs when presented with the opportunity to wax poetic about herself.Forget that mess. I'm a lazy perfectionist. If I can't do it perfectly, why bother doing it at all. I work in computers, and I play on computers. Well, I did. Now I'm back to trying to get into the broadcast field, while still yearning for that film break.I just moved back to Knoxville this year, after being away for much too long. Time for me to right a ton of wrongs, maybe.. in life, in love, in my career, in a lot of areas.I'm an imperfect being, this much is true.Anything more than that, and you'd have to know me better.

Movies:

I hate to admit it, but I'm a sucker for Romantic Comedies. If it has 'chick-flick' stamped anywhere on it? I will likely love it. I'm a chick. I dig flicks. Other than that? Comedy in general. Sci-Fi. Drama. Very little horror--I'm squeamish, and I scream like a bitch. Though I will say that I -love- to be scared. It's just the gore that I try to stay away from, for the most part. The Ring? yes! Hostel? Hell no.

Television:

I seem to love everything that Fox cancels. What does that say about me? Or about Fox? Well, we know they suck eggs. Poo on them. Not a huge fan of sit-coms (but I do love brit-coms), but occasionally the writing of one or two will grab me, and currently I've been smitten with the sometimes brilliance of 'According to Jim'. Can't wait for Battlestar Galactica to start up again, love Heroes and Lost. Very sad to say, only because I'm sure it'll hurt my rep with the cool crowd of Myspace (snort), but I love love love American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. So sue me. Simon Schama's 'Power of Art' is very compelling.

Books:

Rekindled my love of David Eddings. Charlaine Harris, L.E. Modesitt, Stephen King, Neal Stephenson, Susan Cooper, David Brin. I still have all of my Nancy Drew books from when I was but a wee bairn.

My Blog

Life, in focus.

Lots going on, but very little desire to actually report on all of it. Apathy rears it's ugly head, I suppose, hmm? At least I'll attempt to keep this blog from devolving into a bullet pos...

I'm so tired... </madeline_kahn>

My job is draining every bit of wonderment out of me. Originally taken because I was pretty sure it was an easy(er) way of getting into the studio and perhaps even having a creative outlet for the sho...
