My Interests

Video poker and dogs. And of course, new Catholic Church documents written in LATIN. Fascinating, such an impressive display of intelligence (what really are they so insecure about?)and accessible. They issued a new list of sins last week. I really didn’t think there could be more but wrongo...there’s a lot more.

I'd like to meet:

The bastard from the cable company who hooked up my cable televsion to my outdoor pool light. He ran off before I realized this had been done.

Music:

I love Stevie Nicks. Dolly Parton’s version of Stairway to Heaven really should be heard by everyone once. It’s very strange but interesting. Available on Itunes. Worth the 99 cents.

Movies:

Naked Vengence--A movie where half the nighttime scenes are shot in daylight and they forgot to fix it. It's hilarious.

Television:

Larry King Live is the most hilarious show on television. Not long ago, he introduced Andre Agassi as Pancho Gonzalez. Sure, Larry, whatever. Little People Big World is awesome. I’m fascinated with the little people. Probably because I’m not that much taller than them and struggle with some of the same short issues in grocery stores.

Books:

Phyllis Diller--"Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse" Albert Speer--"My Battle with the Truth"

Heroes:

Oh come now, there’s no heroes anymore.....oh wait, the guy who came quickly and unhooked my cable from the pool lights. What a saint.
