I am here for Friends

About Me

Wanna-be baby boomer-born too late. I'm a nurse, but don't work in a clinical setting, just using my brain. I like to hang out with my family and friends, play and listen to music and read good fiction

Music:

Anything except metal that will fry my eardrums and Slim whitman.

Movies:

Dazed and Confused, SuperTroopers, Animal House, Copycat, The Blues Brothers, The Green Mile, A Home of Our Own, Raising Arizona, Oh, Brother Where Art Thou, The Philadelphia Story, The Thin Man, Paper Moon (since I was an extra in it), The Upside of Anger, any many many more.

Television:

ER, Band of Brothers, My Name is Earl, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Old Saturday Night Live. Still like to watch re-runs of Mad About You, WKRP in Cincinatti, Barney Miller, MASH, and Everybody Loves Raymond

Books:

The one I buy over and over to give to friends is Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone". Like a lot of family stories (not Danielle Steel stuff, more like Anne Rivers Siddons, Charlotte Vale Allen, I do confess to being a huge Nora Roberts fan) Rita Mae Brown-read almost everything she's written, also like Sue Grafton, John P. Pelicanos, Michael Connelly, and Janet Evanovich. I usually appreciate some twisted humor in whatever I'm reading.

Heroes:

Mom
