WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF PERFECT JOY?

Book, blanket, tea, er….wine.

WHICH TALENT WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE?

Any talent that I didn’t know in advance that I’d be good at. In other words, I'd love to be more adventurous and try new activities that would be challenging for me or which I’d look foolish learning. I’ve pretty much limited myself to things I mastered by 15.

WHAT [MOVIE, TV SERIES] DO YOU WISH YOU’D MADE?

Breaking Bad.

I think it’s perfect; and during its’ run, I surrendered to superfandom and bought and wore “merch”, (tee shirts, jumpers, mugs etc) attended “cons” (conventions) and gauged my friendships based on their enthusiasm for Mr. White, Jesse and the gang.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?

A hostess and waitress at the Phila., PA fine dining establishment, Corned Beef Academy. More a “cleaned up” deli than a restaurant, it nonetheless provided a great experience; and I still benefit from the lessons I learned there.

WHAT MOVIE HAVE YOU WATCHED THE MOST TIMES?

Sunset Boulevard, and just about all film noir from the period up to Touch of Evil. I love a dark story; and feel like I was born in the wrong era.
