Great, Doug, but can you do your up temp now?

About Me

I love all sorts of things. Reading. Cleaning. Believe it or not, I love to clean. Hmmm. Movies. Traveling. Shopping is a huge rush for me. Especially for sweaters. I like watching the Redskins play. Walking along the shore in Miami or Puerto Rico. Riding a bike through the woods around Versailles south of Paris or sitting on a wall of a nunery in Toledo, Spain on a sunny day and watching the wind blow the wheat around. What else? Sex. Pretty fond of that and cooking, which, really, for me, is the same thing. And babies and puppies. I'm good with both. By far, acting is my favorite thing to do. Followed by sleeping, putting on underware that's just come out of the dryer and laughing till my knees give out - which my best friend Jeff and I call squatting. I like sleeping in pajamas, especially silk pajamas. I'm nuts about antique chairs and Gehart Richter paintings. Oh, and who else? Roy Lichtenstein. If the world were depopulated and I the only person left, I'd probably move into a bookstore and spend the rest of my life reading. M'shell Ochello is THE BEST MUSIC EVER to have sex to, by the way. I defy you not to get laid when she is singing somewhere in your house. I love the smell of roses, gardenias and tuberoses and Casablanca Lilies. I usually keep a bouquet in my house. I love long distance driving a lot. Anthony Hopkins, Bette Davis, Anne Margret, Cary Grant, and Annette Benning and Tom Cruise are my favorite actors to watch, but I learn the most probably from Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Ruby Dee, Sydney Poitier, Warren Beatty and Meryl Streep.I once danced with Brad Pitt and somewhere there's a video that would embarras both of us.I fall in love at the drop of a hat. Especially with Italians. And men with bangs.If I eat anything with refined sugar in it, it sends me into a k-hole and I start thinking about killing myself. Seriously. Pop Tarts are deadly to me.So are Italians and men with bangs.The first guy I ever fell in love with and knew that I was in love was Kurt Russell when my baby sitter's husband took me to see The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. I hyper ventilated through out the whole movie.I should have married Kerry McClurg when I was seventeen. She is still the sexiest woman I've ever known and the most loving and loyal.There are four kisses in my life that still, to this day, make me believe that life IS like the movies. And if you ask me about them, I'll tell ya. Maybe.I over-pack for every trip I take because it's always good to have a choice and clean underware 'cause you never, ever know.The three funniest people I've ever known were/are my mother, Jeff Sadoff, and Tony Tripoli. All of them could make me pee on myself.I used to shoplift. I also used to drink and do a LOT of drugs.I like climbing trees, fences, walls, fire-escapes, and the ladder of success.I think my best feature is my mouth, most people think it's my ass.I don't care what Darryl thinks, I LOVE wearing fur.I believe in reincarnation and I had a psychic tell me that I froze to death -twice - which is probably why I hated living in Boston. That and the incredible racisim.My grandmother once caught me having sex with a boy. And kept her mouth shut about it.My ex boyfriends know that they can all call me and I'll pick up the phone and be where they need me in a flash.Favorite color is pink. Favorite taste is lemon. Favorite season is summer. Favorite place is my bed. Favorite sound is my cousin Lori's laugh. Favorite Day, is Thursday.Favorite role is getting to play Danny in Hot Guys With Guns. Favorite memory, watching Alek's head turn to face me as he was being born.

My Blog

Notes from the fetal position.

Today I got out of bed at one fourty in the afternoon. This is extremely unlike me. But I figure, why not? After all, it's a fair bit better than taking all of my clothes off in public or strangling t...

A little free time

So, it’s my day off. It’s cold and spitting a mixture of icy rain and snow. Everyone has gone off to Halifax for the weekend and I’m here at the resort (and I use the term loosely) w...

The great white north

You ever watch those movies where the sound track sounds like a couple of little white girls singing a freaky off key very sort of melancholy lullaby? Imagine a lonely stretch of beach... isolated far...

detaching with an ax

None of the men in the neighborhood I grew up in had any talent for gardening. They could all plant stuff, throw mulch around, and even a couple of them actually mowed their own lawns. But none of the...

Oh brave new world...

...that has such people in it. (That's Shakespear. It's a line from The Tempest, in case you were wondering.) The reason I started with that will become apparent. Like always, you're going to have to ...

Shaking the tree

I have a bank of Cyprus trees that are as old as the house I live in. Somewhere around 80 years old, I imagine. There are five of them and the shield the north side of my courtyard from the alley and ...
