My Ideal Person:
I'm looking for a smart, sexy, independent, and confident man. You love the chase, the thrill of discovery, intense conversations (inane ones too), semi-drunken dancing, brazen flirting, good food, terrible movies, high culture and trashy entertainments. Cranky Democrats, brainy artists, and/or hockey players with Ph.Ds especially welcome.

• The last great book I read
  Seamus Heaney's translation of "Beowulf"
  Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum"
  Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma"
• My most humbling moment
  It involves six Greek grandmothers, an 11 hour flight,
  and several dozen photos of grandchildren.....
• Favorite on-screen sex scene
  Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin in The Big Easy. Off the charts.
  
  
  
  Clive Owen and Rosario Dawson in Sin City. (Not technically
  a sex scene, but I still go weak in the knees.) Honorable mention: Joel and Maggie's comic roll in
  the hay in Northern Exposure.
• The celebrity I resemble the most
  I've been described as equal parts Murphy Brown and
  Marilyn Monroe but mostly people keep saying Renee Zellweger.
• The best or worst lie I've ever told
  Baby, I would never leave you for Stephen Colbert.
• If I could be anywhere right now
  Crete, watching the sun set into the Libyan sea.
• Five items I can't live without
  1. My passport.
  2. Television shows by Joss Whedon.
  3. My demented cat.
  4. Little Black Dresses.
  5. My Netflix account.
• Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy; _____ is sexier.
  Prosecco is sexy; champagne is sexier.
• In my bedroom one will find...
  Satin sheets, a collection of short stories by Oscar Wilde,
  a violet silk nightgown, and bunny slippers under the bed.
