About Me

Crispy on the outside, chewy in the center.

My Interests

Booze and politics. They tend to go hand-in-hand, dontcha think?

I'd like to meet:

YOU, baby, YOU.

Music:

I've been on a Beastie Boys kick for quite some time now. I sorta go through phases, ya know? Don't you?

Movies:

I just watched "proof" with Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins. The movie was pretty good, and Gwyneth did a *great* job of playing someone a little off her rocker.

Television:

Watching the same seven channels gets awful boring at times. Good thing I'm never home to complain about it!

Books:

I actually don't know how to read. Sad but true.

Heroes:

Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be.

Storms...

How come there's no "weather" category for these blogs?  Nonetheless... last night I experienced my first real thunderstorm in my new house.  And it was really fantastic.  It reminded ...

Happiness...

I read an article on yahoo! news today that talked about happiness.  In the article, you meet Caroline Adams Miller, a Harvard-trained life coach who blah, blah, blah.  You get the point.&nb...
