Fine, I'll f@&kin' do My Space

About Me

You tell me. I don't have time for your games.

My Interests

wine, tennis, rollerblading, wine, reading, art, travel, food & wine, shopping, spending money, making money, my new convertible, wine, stopping the christian right and then celebrating with a ballsy nebbiolo

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who won't try my patience.

Music:

I don't need your approval.

Movies:

Why? So you can tell me how wrong I am?

Television:

Why am I so defensive?

Books:

Most things British especially Jane Austen, Iris Murdoch, A.S. Byatt and I've just discovered Evelyn Waugh. I'm also a huge fan of the fiction and non-fiction of Simone deBeauvoir and I've been known to pass out on top of America: The Book.

Atheist Christmas

I Heart Jack Bauer v.4

All in all, a really good final episode that contained the elements that seemed to be missing from most of the season. Had there been more of that all season, there might have been more of these blogs...

I Heart Jack Bauer v.3

All in all, it was a "rice" episode for 24. Some people hate the "rice" episodes. Not me. I realize that it can't all be raw fish and wasabi. You need a little rice to hold the fish and seaweed and wa...

I Heart Jack Bauer v. 2

Am I the only one who is physically drained after tonight's episode of 24? What an amazing 2 hours of television! My heart hasn't raced like that since I awaited the results of the 2004 election. Firs...

Future Strippers of America: Miss Teen USA 2006

Men I Would Sleep with on Rockstar: Supernova

I have long felt you can tell how a man is in bed, by the way he is on stage. For example, I think Chris Martin cries after sex. I think he gets all weepy and tells Gwynneth how beautiful she is and h...
