Hometown

well.. i was born in phoenix, AZ; but i grew up in brooklyn, NY (thank god) during the BEST decade in american history (imho)... the 60's, of course! and then, before i became 21, i moved to an unknown place: utah. and THEN, after erasing the blackboard

Places I've been

High School Name (City, State)
oh... you mean the LAST one i attended? ;o) (cuz, you see...i went to a different public skool EVERY YEAR since 5th grade!!).. the high skool i GRADUATED from was ERASMUS HALL in brooklyn-- but i graduated TEN YEARS after barbra streisand, neil diamond, paul simon, my eldest sister, and other "notables." although, i MUST say i, myself, was pretty notable when "I" graduated---at least, i know i'll never be forgotten!! i made a mark on erasmus hall--sure as the sun shines!
College Name

NADA! RIEN! nuttin, honey! i am BEREFT!

More about me

i believe it was samuel clemens who coined the phrase, "a little information is a dangerous thing;" in which case, "I" am a VERY dangerious thing, as well, since i know just enough about most topics under the sun to get involved in a conversation, although, at times, i know MORE than a little and THIS is when i get into trouble... because, you see, i have ALWAYS had a severe case of "foot in mouth" disease! but, it's ok. iMho, any animal other than humans, & ALL plants MUST be THE inheritors!

Favorite Movies

CARY GRANT!!!!!!!/wizard of oz/BRIGADOON!!!!/ALL star trek movies/the first 2 star wars/ET/close encounters of the 3rd kind/the day the earth stood still.... to make a short story long, i love OLD romance movies like BRIGADOON; almost any movie which MAKES YOU THINK.. and dream. i also LOVE 60's & 70's HINDI movies (bollywood=3 hrs. of pathos, music&dance, romance, and FUN ;o); favourites are: PAHKEEZAH!; PURAB aur PACHHIM!; etc.

Favorite TV Shows

MOST sifi-ers; most comedies BEFORE 1970s. i moved to utah in 1973 and i "lost" most TV programming from then until i left utah because they censored a LOT of programming AND many books--IN THE LIBRARIES!!!!!--as well. (sigh)..but then!!! i got a satellite dish and that could not be censored (HUZZAH!)
