The BF is okay, and still severely gorgeous


Friends...family...do not worry my boyfriend is okay...he walked away from the crash just fine, you know why? Cuz he’s cool.

Oh yeah and severely gorgeous—just look at the photo of him, sent to me by my friend Eleise. She was hanging out smoking with him in London; She snapped this pic for me. For cute, right? Who saying smoking not cool? I love Cancer.

Dad, I'M KIDDING! Geez! It's called humor, really bad humor that I LOVE!!!!!!!!
By the way it is ironic that my baby is so conscious of what food he puts in his body, but still smokes…oh who cares…he looks hot.

By the way I am becoming quite obsessed with 80’s love ballads…Making Love out of Nothin’ at all…. Makin’ looooooove!!!!!! Out of nothin’ at all!!!!!

And let’s not forget this classic……Once upon a time I was fallin’ in love, but now I’m only falling apart, there’s nothing I can do…..a Total Eclipse of the Heart…..
Turn around bright eyes.....

Sarah Silverman is like INSANE Magic


Happy Monday, or not... I have been a little MIA as of late, posting quick pics of my boyfriend and then quickly running away to be with him, oh Jaoquin! He's so silly.... I mean right now he is asking me to get back to the couch to watch a movie, make-out and eat some cheese...oh he so respects the Taurus in me and I so respect the Vegan in him! I mean I only push Red Meat on him once a week rather than the twice a day thing I used to do....

OH! It's Oscar Season, so why not go check out a movie that is sooooo not Oscar-ish.... it's Sarah Silverman's Jesus is Magic... She is SO dirty! And SO funny and so super pretty, she looks just like my friend Katie! Lucky Katie!

Way to Go Baby!



Oooh look at my Baby! He won a Golden Globe!!!

As many of you know Joaquin and I are a HOT item...sadly I wasn't able to make it the awards ceremony...I was in Bali filming my latest flick.... But alas I did get a mani and a pedi and wore my fav. new vintage gown in the HOT HOT HOT sun just thinking about him and rootin' him on!

Personal note to my baby: When we are together again I will make you toast and give you a buzzard egg in honor of your award.

Good Fiction!

To answer Kim's question... that book is:

The Dogs of Babel, by Carolyn Parkhurst
I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Other great reads that have stuck with me...
Book of Ruth, by Jane Hamilton
The Big Love, by Sarah Dunn
Rocket City, by Cathryn Alpert
And, of course, The Lovely Bones, by Anne Sebolt

In regard to Frey and a Million LIttle Pieces...I literally finished this book the night before Smoking Gun's allegations went public...whatever the truth is, I don't care...I definitely got a lot out of that book. It made me in tune with myself and feel some deep emotions...as a writer/storyteller I can see where things may get embellished, I can somewhat forgive this...hopefully stuff was not completely made up, but we will just have to wait and see... in the meantime I am not going to discredit anything....no matter, I feel the book has had a positive impact on my own way of thinking....


Happy Reading!

Can I hug you?

Oh My...I just finished the book that everyone has been talking about, thanks to Oprah... A Million Little Pieces by James Frey...I remember seeing this book at the bookstore way back when...the pretty cover and candy-covered hand was certainly an attention getter...

It looked interesting, but heavy....months later Oprah is going on about it and before you know it I am seeing it in the hands of almost every Reader on the El..... then I come home and my Mom has it...Oh Oprah! So I did what any daughter would do...I snapped it up from my Mom and started reading... my feelings towards Frey's story is indescribable.. I am heart-broken and yet lifted. Without the intention of sounding like Oprah, seriously if you have thought about reading this book, or need a new read, PLEASE do yourself a favor and pick up this book. I want to hug you all, I want to hug James… The other day while finishing up work at the restaurant I met this woman at the bar. She had said that all she did for the day was read, she had just finished this book. I told her I had a little left to go and was already floored by the book and for a brief moment we bonded. Then just as I left this now, not-as-strange, stranger said good-bye told me to go home and finish the book. Then she said but first, “Give me a Hug.”
I understand why….
