Oh, be quiet.

About Me

I have a beautiful 6-year-old daughter and 1 year old son. Most people think that parenting is all about the glamour, but I'm really just in it for the money. I also think puppies are cute. Speaking of cute, how 'bout those dolphins at Sea World? Dolphins can swim AND perform in shows. Thus, fulfilling their destiny. Yeah, chew on that folks.Self-righteous people are a bore. I believe that respecting the beliefs, likes and dislikes of others is a virtue. Live and let live. Just try not to live in mediocrity. Be interesting and extraordinary -- whatever that means to you. Life is much too short. And no one should understimate the joy of a PB&J on really fresh bread with Cool Ranch Doritos. Was that self-righteous???

My Interests

Reading, yoga, dinosaurs, Littlest Pet Shop, Baby Einstein, following my heart
Myspace Layouts

I'd like to meet:

Eh, I'm okay for now. Thanks anyway.

Music:

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there’s something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It’s the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part...." (Nick Hornby, Songbook).The Beatles, The Police, Ryan Adams, Alison Krauss, Wilco, Lyle, Dwight, Bright Eyes, Ben Folds, stuff like that. The Monkees. Not really. And please don't subject me to The Doors. My skin might peel off.

Movies:

Anything with Christopher Guest in front of or behind the lens (and can I just say that Miss Parker Posey is a goddess?), Office Space, The Philadelphia Story, Goodfellas, Godfather Part II, Coal Miner's Daughter, Dazed and Confused,Anchorman, Moulin Rouge, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Valley Girl, Braveheart, The Right Stuff, Lawrence of Arabia ("one cup."), The Hustler (ahhh, George C. Scott). Below: the most beautifully awful audition monologue ever: .. width="425" height="350">.. ..>

Television:

Does it get any better than "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew"? Not for my money.

Books:

Currently reading "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris. Just finished his latest one, "When You Are Engulfed in Flames". He is such a clever writer.My absolute favorite author is John Irving. I also really enjoy Chuck Pahlahniuk (Fight Club, Choke, etc.), Haruki Murakami, Neil Gaiman, Pat Conroy, Jonathan Franzen, Philippa Gregory, those Potter books and Phillip Pullman.

Heroes:

People who can make me laugh are pretty heroic to me. People who can make me feel or think too. You know how there are people in this world who can touch your soul? Whether it's an artist or a friend (or both), those people are my heroes.

My little miracle...

Well, we finally had the MRI today to confirm the Dandy-Walker Malformation in Ben's brain and to make sure there weren't any other abnormalities that we should be aware of. The poor baby was starving...

Stay out of my bedroom

This post is necessary for two reasons: 1. I'm rallying for "Rhinestone 2 -- Back to Fondler's Grove" (ha ha Aitken-Spivey-Philbrooks) and 2. Someone actually went to the trouble to videotape their t...

Comedy Central? Boobie Central!

People who know me would not define me as a prude. I am so far from prude-ville that I would need to hitch a ride on the space shuttle to get there. Nor am I a super-vigilant feminist. Though it's no...
