About Me

i learned it from watching you.

My Interests

Cooking, shaking things up, laughing til it hurts, sarcasm, elaborate practical jokes, self-deprecation, Thursday night shenanigans (or any night for that matter), running.

I'd like to meet:

Bono, Capt. Jack Sparrow, David Beckham, Rob Bell, Conan O'Brien, Alton Brown, Ina Garten, Bobby Flay for a Throwdown.

Music:

Will give almost anything a listen, but no screamo please. I pick mine to match my mood. I seem to have an affinity for white boy singers with the soul of Stevie Wonder.

Movies:

Garden State, Snatch, American Beauty, there's more. Not a fan of mediocre acting. You can see that anywhere in everyday life.

Television:

American Idol is about all I've been watching lately. I can't help it, Simon is hot. You know I'm a sucker for a smartass.

Books:

My current read is Naked by David Sedaris.

Heroes:

Your Mom, what a trooper she must be!

Chicken Dinner

Summer Lovin

Got a small taste of summer yesterday when the temp climbed to a gorgeous 91 degrees in the afternoon but like most fleeting joys of summer it didn't last.  I wish I had a pause button like in th...

Mellow Blueness (By My Side)

I had a funny little story about Cristina's Birthday Karaoke Extravaganza a few weeks ago, but here's the short version.  I got a bit of a lecture about song choice from Cristina and Joe and how ...

I Made Tom Brady Cry

Apparently I am some kind of ethereal muse or prophet or something because the NY Giants won the Super Bowl.  Yes, I feel I am entitled to take some sort of credit since way back in July I s...

Playing Motorboat with Bono

Last night I went to my first of what is sure to be several more viewings of the U23D show at the IMAX theater.  Oh.  My.  If ever there was fear that my lovelust of Bono was waning, pu...

Ouch

Been working on a three day headache; let me tell you it's been tons of fun.  I switched to a three-month pill so as to avoid all the negative side effects my monthly friend brings along for the ...

See You Later Uncle Markie

Just got back and settled in from our chilly weekend in Chicago so this will probably be a very stream-of-consciousness-like post.  First of all, yes it was freaking cold, but I really don't...

De-lovely and De-licious

Good morning my chickens.  I'm a bit bleary after a nice little outing at the Alamo Drafthouse for the One Hit Wonders of the 90s Sing Along (movie theater plus beer equals good fun).&n...

Better Pack Some Junk in Yo Trunk

Gonna be in the 40s tomorrow.  Was feeling kind of "woe is me" about it until I checked out how my weekend will be and now I am actually in fear for my survival.  (Really, I am.)  We he...

Charity Work

Been trying to channel all this angst into something productive so I've been cooking my butt off lately.  I need some dishes taste tested and/or photographed so I thought I may as well get busy.&...
