all the small things, part 3

Once again picking up where I left off here and here.

21. I am the proud owner of a State Quarter collection. I'm missing Kansas and West Virginia. Anyone want to hook me up?

22. I always smell good, if I do say so myself. And I do. I credit my hair schmutz (Short Cuts Flip-Out) and my perfumes of choice (I alternate between The Body Shop White Musk Perfume Oil and The Body Shop Indian Gardenia Eau du Parfum). Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure that my hair schmutz isn't for men but it smells clean like soap and it works well in my hair so I don't give a fuck. Hell, I'd use Brylcreem and some Crisco if it held my curl.

23. I only pretend to like Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits and Lou Reed. I don't dislike them necessarily but I've given them each a whirl and well... I don't know what the big deal is.

24. Speaking of Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson scares me.

25. I make excellent popcorn. It's popped in a pot with a couple of drops of olive oil (cold-pressed extra-virgin preferably) and a dash of salt. Try mine and you'll never eat Pop Secret again.

26. I take great pleasure in marking email as spam and then emptying my spam folder and trash. Although, sometimes I have an itchy trigger finger on the delete button and I accidentally trash important stuff. I then curse myself and rue the day I showed no mercy on my in box and then curse myself further when I discover that useless things like old issues of Daily Candy are intact but the detailed request from my boss is long gone. It's uncanny.

27. My favorite cartoon is The Flintstones. I thought Barney was cute when I was little. And that Joe Rockhead was a bit of a hottie too, come to think of it.

28. I interned for Geraldo Rivera when I was in college. One of my responsibilities was greeting guests, bringing them to the green room and getting them coffee, etc. As a result, I met Alan Dershowitz, Denise Brown and a lot of politicians, legal experts and talking heads. Weirdest guest I ever met? That would have to be William Kunstler. Dude freaked me out with that Einstein hair of his and piercing stare. Oh and he gave me one of those creepy handshakes where he bent his middle finger and stuck his knuckle in the palm of my hand mid-shake. He was one spooky motherfucker.

29. My DVR is currently set to record every episode of Little House on the Prairie on TV Land.

30. That Nellie Oleson still chaps my ass.

Numbers 31-40 coming soon. I think. Maybe I'll just do 31-35. Don't rush me. This shit is hard work!
