Comments

For the record, I don't like Queens Blvd. either, but it's nice to know it's there.

Where are you getting your research for the 'Stuff I'm Not Supposed To Like, But Do...' category? Who's telling you you're not supposed to like Shattered Glass and Primer? And when is anyone talking about Jenny McCarthy? And, you're a Parrot Head?!

Are you mad at me?

No. But I think we need to have a little chat, maybe over a margarita? I'll bring my ‘Singled Out’ dvds.
