Gemini

I'm on my 2nd year in sunny Los Angeles, following 10 years in New York, and I'm rather enjoying the much nicer (& warmer) lifestyle out here. I'm originally from Seattle, where very little of my family still lives. I have permanently tired of New York's cement, subways, crowds, terrorist threats, flash summer thunderstorms, snowstorms, the drunk old man on the stoop of my 3rd Floor East Village walk-up, overpriced Taxis [and gyms and drinks], pretentious girls right out of college whose parents are willing to pay $3,000 for studio apartments, sassy Duane Reade cash register attendants, and bike thiefs. I really just wanted a life where I throw my dog in the back of my car on a Saturday morning, and head out to the beach or the mountains with my boyfriend. So, that's the life I'm living now! Me, the bf, our pug [Louie], and I'm happier than ever.

I suppose I could be called a traveling spirit. I'm always plotting my next escape to foreign lands, although my two favorite places in the world to travel to are Provincetown, MA and the San Juan Islands in Northern Washington State. In 2002/03 I lived in Costa Rica for seven months, while I learned Spanish, tried to surf, hiked through rainforests, and worked on some community service projects. The experience was amazing for me, and it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I had a lot of time alone to think and write and reflect, and I learned a lot about how both Costa Rica, and the United States, thinks, lives, and breathes.

I had a Blog, and it was a lot of fun, but I just had to pull it off of the Internet due to my line of work. One day I'd really like to be able make broadcast news interesting again, but until then, I'll stick with entertainment news.

People with Pugs, Boston Terriers, or Golden Retrievers!!! When's the next LA pug meet up?!
