I am here for Friends

About Me

I like the mystery. There is only one person on earth I really want to meet. Brian Wilson. That's it. He is our Mozart.

My Interests

Watercolor, underpainted not drawn - check out Winston Churchill's - they are marvellous.I have just joined the Board of Directors of Greater Boston Legal Services. If you cannot afford legal representation and you need an attorney please let me know and I will do what I can to assist you. If you have some money kicking around, GBLS can put it to good use, so send it on over baby! http://www.gbls.org/

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to have half a shandy and a chat with Martin Amis, a long loud weekend with everyone at misbehaving.net and I would like to dance with Christopher Walken. Dinner with Carrie Fisher would be cool too. Oh, and I'd like to play cards with The Original Kings of Comedy.

Movies:

Well I got around to seeing "Brokeback Mountain." I thought the beginning of the movie was ok, but once the characters aged it was like watching a high school production with wonderfully talented kids pretending to be old. What was the deal with the ever increasing fright wigs to age Anne Hathaway?....sorry...that just made me LAUGH. Also thought the scene in Mexico where Jack and his date disappeared into the black existential void to get it on should get a Milan Kundera Award for Unintentional Comic Genius. Ang Lee needs to pick a lane....an anonymous quickie is apparently deeply meaningful...what a sheltered life he leads...:)) I wanted to see Sam Shepard as Ennis and Dennis Quaid as Jack..would have kept the kids in the earlier stuff and cut back to it. I thought the "sex" scene was dull, but then, with the exception of "Don't Look Now" sex scenes are always dull... "You put the pork sword in, the pork sword out...in out, in out, you shake it all about..." oh, thanks for clearing that up Ang, all I want to do now is stagger around in a reverential daze. I have also tried to watch "The Passion of the Christ" twice and it is unbearable. I managed about ten minutes the first time and fifteen minutes the second time. Anyone who can sit all the way through that should be on an FBI watch list. I am not ashamed or embarrassed to testify on this beautiful Sunday that I love Jesus. Loving Jesus makes me smarter, funnier, sexier and stronger. It does not make me want to spend millions of dollars on a vanity snuff movie in Hebrew. I think there were so many ways that money could have been better spent, like on, oh I don't know AIDS medications in Africa maybe...

Books:

I have just ordered "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer. I am also studying all of Edward Tufte's sublime publications. Anyone desperate for dialogue in which art and science are integrated will be in pig heaven. Take the quiz:
Which "24" character are you?

Jack Bauer
You are Jack Bauer!!! You always save the day, you have a sexy voice, and have the longest days too often. Almost all of your love interest's die or just get sick of your need to save the world. Your not afriad of sticking it to the man, and if people would listen to you things would get done a lot faster.

Heroes:

I love my daughter Ella more than anyone else on this planet. She is a brilliant actress, dancer, comedian, artist, singer and writer. Drop dead gorgeous. Legs up to here. She has a kind heart and loves with all of it. The thought of what a sad, pathetic existence my life would have been without her, is the scariest thing I can think of. She has great friends who adore her, and she just got straight A's on her report card. I am soooo proud of her I could burst.
