About me: Newest most glaring thing--I have late onset of schizoaffective disorder. It's not so bad though and not what you'd expect-- it's like any disease that requires diligence and is no fun in and of itself.
what else? Discovered my customer-crush is both famous and the friend of a friend so maybe he'll let me havea photo with him someday.
Religion? I read about Buddhism, not quite the same as being a Buddhist.
I used to watch 24 as well. They started to use a storyline formula that got old after a while. Some shows just need to quit while they're ahead instead of dragging the story out season after season. But I liked the last season of 24. They did redeem themselves a little with that one.
Yeah, I'm with you on that one! I don't watch reality TV, either. Actually, the only show I'm into right now is Flash Forward. But I really with Pushing Daisies was back on. I'm definitely a fan of clever writing! What are some of the shows you watch?
Hey you, I'm checking in on ya. I hope all is well in your world; I'm sending all the good energy I can your way. :)
I'm planning to come up there first week of August to do some house party shows (semi-acoustic), just looking for someone who wants to host it.
