If you're going to be an ass, you may as well be a smart one.

About Me

When I'm good I'm SO good, but when I'm bad I'm better. That sounds kinda dirty, but I only meant it to be clever...

My Interests

Taking a cue, pitching woo, bidding adieu, writing haiku, blues, booze, hitting the snooze, sinking screws, rosey hues, yesterday's news, high-heeled shoes, and the occasional muse.

I'd like to meet:

Tom Waits, with a bottle of wine and a peacock feather. I'd also like to meet my fairy godmother, Santa Claus and a talking dog.

Music:

I like music that's kind of all over the board. I'm sure lots of people say that, and in my opinion, that's the way it should be.

Movies:

Um, I can think of plenty.

Television:

Jacques Pepin. Alton Brown (when he ain't all Sesame Street with it). I love Lidia, and the original Iron Chef episodes. I can kinda dig Ina Garten, but she's all breathy and she looks like Kathy Bates. There's also a lot of cartoons I spend my time watching.

Books:

I no longer buy used books; the guy who underlined it before me could've been a maniac.

Heroes:

my hero is any person who's smart enough to get away with being looked up to. there's some other people, as well.

My Blog

It’s a beautiful thing.

Today was a really good day, without issue.  There was nothing spectacular, or even notable for that matter, but the sun shines, the birds chirp, I love my dog and spring has sprung.  Althou...

nothing gold can stay.... yarg.

just sometimes, I feel like I'm a little too smart for my own good, but I'm too dumb to know what to do with it. I don't know how to sleep, I know how to pass out for a minute.  when I do I have ...

so, that's what that's all about, eh?

this may come as some surprise, but before tonight I'd never seen an episode of "Leave it to Beaver".   I've been calling it "Leave it in Beaver"  every time it scrolls on down ou...

please, permit me to apologize.

I'd be lying if I tried to say I didn't mean it, but the subject and content of my last blog was inappropriate.  jealousy and blinding rage don't suit me very well, and may bit a bit immature on ...

you have to have a heart before you can have an attack.

I love stupid  little cunt bitches who hold their stupid little cunt cameras and take stupid little cunt  pictures of them-stupid-little-cunt-selves trying to look all sexy.  ...

gnocchi jackpot!

not to break my arm patting myself on the back, but, but, but I made the sexiest little tater dumplings of all time.  I avoided all the paper-weight pitfalls and turned out the lightest, tastiest...

I freakin' love Florida avocados!

I've got to admit that I'd never given them much consideration.  I kinda thought they'd be just like diet avocados, and secretly, I stumbled upon this sizable gem on accident.  I, was high, ...

I'm so relieved that all the city's problems are solved.

now we can concentrate on banning food!  why this is even an issue is beyond me, but I think it might go something like this: some velvet vegan tsunami rained down on Mayor Daley, and foie gras w...

is it me, or are the Washington Mutual Bank commercials really racist?

it just so happens  that the "bankers' pen"  is full of fat-cat old white guys that are driven crazy by the idea of giving up anything for free, and pacified by yachts and caviar.  if ...
