About me

I’m a stay-at-home mom of three crazy kids living in McLean, VA. Originally from the Boston area.

I read as much as I can and try to write about what I’ve read. My favorite authors include Jane Austen, Christopher Brookmyre, Stephen King, James Ellroy, Joe Hill, and Ian Rankin.

I love to be entertained, especially by shows/movies/books where the creator assumes you are smart enough to follow along without a laugh track.  Veronica Mars, Terriers, Gilmore Girls, Friday Night Lights, The Larry Sanders Show.  Oh, and don’t forget the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

I’m a sci-feek geekess.  I love Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Doctor Who (Tennant, please).

I also love me some costume dramas.  Jane Austen and Downton Abbey, you know the drill.

And old-timey musicals with Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Judy Garland.

And comedies.  Community, CougarTown, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec.  Mary Tyler Moore, Arrested Development, Soap. Midnight Run, Seems Like Old Times, What’s Up Doc?, The In Laws.

My musical tastes vary.  Today I love Duran Duran, Paul Weller, Sondre Lerche, Belle & Sebastian, Adele, Robbie Williams, The Lemonheads.

And yes, I did lose on Jeopardy.  But I won twice first.
