My Interests

Music, writing, photography, people, travel, my house in Connecticut, life in general

I'd like to meet:

People who don't send unsolicited blog invites, who don't want me to buy their products, and who don't live and work in Nigeria.Men, if you are even thinking about sending me an unsolicated, random message, please look at this blog first: Men About MySpace Really, check it out. BEFORE you send me your random, grammatically incorrect message addressed to Angel, Pretty or any other random term you may think is flattering.

Music:

So many bands, so little time... At the moment, I love (in no particular order): Wilco, Josh Rouse, John Hiatt, James Taylor, Citizen Cope, Josh Ritter, David Gray, Lyle Lovett, The Jayhawks, BNL, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, The Mavericks, Bruce Hornsby, Marc Broussard, The Damnwells, Nanci Griffith, Big & Rich, and more.

Movies:

Young Frankenstein has got to be one of the best movies of all time. Some of the best movie lines ever come from Mel - Blazing Saddles and The original Producers are some of the funniest. Groundhogs Day. You can't beat Godfather 1 & 2 - absolutely brilliant. The original 3 Star Wars movies and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Singing in the Rain and West Side Story. The Princess Bride - Inconceivably great! Lost in Translation. Johnny Depp in Chocolat.

Television:

I admit it, I have lowbrow taste in television - enjoy Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway, Amazing Race, House and others.

Books:

Favorites: The Bean Tree by Barbara Kingsolver, The World According to Garp by John Irving, Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safer Foer, Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner, His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and the Amber Spyglass) by Philip Pullman

Heroes:

People who actually take the time to do something to make the world a better place.

Halloween Randomosity

I am not a big Halloween person.  I was never much for dress up.  In fact, I feel like I put on a crappy costume each morning as I dress up in my lawyer clothes.  That said, I do love s...

Another Morning

I'm sitting in my office, at my overly cluttered desk, looking out the window.  The sky is dark, little patches of light gray interspersed with deep forbidding gray.  A light rain is falling...

The Burka Blog

Driving to work today, I was stuck in an odd thought process.  I was thinking about how different it would be if men were the target of sexually aggressive behavior.  If men had to cover up ...
