Cool
I don't buy all of Whitney Houston's jive that it was Bobby Brown who loused up her life or Mackenzie Phillips (who?) allegations that her now-deceased daddy raped her, but I did learn if you want to get on The Oprah Winfrey Show blaming men for your problems is a sure fire way to get booked.

The other thing I learned is there is no synonym for "misogynist."

In an effort to keep me a bit more motivated about updating:

I updated here.

It's about vampires. Somewhat of the sparkly kind. You've been warned.
