About Me

I am stuck in the mid-60's.

Born March 7, 1951 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Attended Beatles concert in Detroit on August 13, 1966, when I was 15.

Brian Epstein has always been my favorite Beatle ever since the moment I first saw him on TV in 1964, continuing on after his death in 1967, and weathering all the shocks and surprises concerning his private life and problems ever since. I have high hopes of someday visiting Liverpool/London ~ but not to visit Beatles landmarks, unless I really have to. This will be a Brian Epstein pilgrimage. :)

I was divorced in November of 2008 and now live in a sweet little apartment with the greatest daughter in the world (born on August 29, 1989 ~~ 22 years + 2 days after Brian died ~ but I started going into labor on the 22nd anniversary of his death Aug 27) who thinks the Beatles and Brian are "okay" but really loves videogames, anime, and manga. We have always been more like sisters than mother & daughter.

This sounds so superficial but ~~
I'm enamored of the Jewish people. I've always thought they are, on average, the greatest/sexiest/smartest humans ever, and I love 'em tremendously ~ but, then, I turn around and start feeling self-conscious about sounding patronizing or like a Jewpie (groupie of Jewish people, LOL). So I just end up throwing my hands up and saying, "Pay no attention to the babbling shiksa in the corner!" XD

Television

I don't watch TV very much, but when I do, I mainly watch the old 70s-80s eps of The Match Game on GSN, bits of all the late night talk shows, Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central, Family Guy/American Dad/The Cleveland Show on Fox, Futurama, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, The Fairly Odd Parents, etc. on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. I fervently wish they'd bring back reruns of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In ~ or at least offer complete series DVD box sets.
