I believe in friends, time as an abstract, and the restorative powers of a hot fudge sundae. I believe in vodka, an occasional Parliament light and TiVo. I try not to take anything for granted and not to take anything too seriously, but I still think too much. I'm a book junkie. I love my family. I have probably seen more episodes of Law and Order than anyone ever should. Food is good and I like to cook it... I have more good smelling lotions, soaps, shampoos, potions and lotions than i can economically justify. Absolutely nothing makes me feel better than the right song at the right time.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Seth Rogen, Murray Hammond, Martin Starr. Oh, and Pauley Perrette, Vincent D'Onofrio, and the people that make that really great string cheese...ok, ok, maybe in real life...just some people that don't suck.
