Howdy! (Again)

Wow, I'm amazed. In the couple of days since I landed in the Rocky Top Brigade, I've gotten a ton of comments and emails from members. Thanks for the welcome, guys! I know that my blurb in the Brigade and my blurb on here say very little about me, and my lack-of-postiness has said even less. So here's a Cliff-Notes version of me:

- I live in Donelson and work for one of the local TV stations. No, I'm not going to say which one. It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do with what they put on the air, and I don't want to be pointed at as an example of that "liberal media elite". I think that would be pretty unfair, considering I'm not writing the stories or appearing on-air.
- I'm a sports nut. I'm a girl. The two things aren't such a weird combination. My great loves are football and "footy" (soccer for us unfortunate U.S. folks.) And while I'm at it - Go Reds! Beat Milan! And shut up Mourinho!
- I spend way too much time watching TV. My choices are pretty varied and change from month to month. Right now I'm really into The L Word (Yes, you can be straight and still love it. Once straight men figure out that it's on and that the women are half-naked in it, it'll be the #1 cable show in the U.S., I swear. And straight women can watch and be grateful that they only have to deal with men's weirdness and not female drama.) I also watch pretty much anything on BBC America. If I could just get a direct feed of BBC and ITV, I would be a happy camper. And I'm a CNN junkie, although if they don't quit being the Salacious News Network that they're in danger of becoming of late, I'm not going to be able to stomach it anymore. Runaway Bride was NOT breaking news, folks.
- I'm an aspiring foodie. Would try my luck at cooking more of it myself, but I'm a single woman on a small budget. So I stick to looking for local ethnic haunts. I'm always looking for people to hang out with me and nosh on sushi or Indian or Cajun. Maybe I'll resurrect my Sunday Dinner Review...
- Oh, and I develop weird interests in random online things and gadgets. My current obsession is podcasting. I'm mentally writing a long post about it, but I'm so busy with my RL job that I rarely have time to post these days. But there's some really interesting stuff out there. Just don't listen to the Dawn & Drew Show and decide that's the future of podcasting. If that's the future, I want out now. It makes my ears bleed. I have no idea why "the media" is hyping that crap so much.
- As far as my personal life, I've been divorced for over four years now. Me and the ex are still friends, and he's in San Fran. My family is in Dunn, TN (a cookie if you know where that is.) I have the smartest 3 1/2 year-old niece on the face of this earth, and one lovely sister. I reside with three cats (no "crazy cat lady" jokes, please.) I am single and taking applications (although, now that I look at that sentence, that sounds bad. Read Camryn Manheim's book to see what I mean by that.) And now I am tired of talking about myself. If anyone actually wants to know anything else about me, I guess I could always do that "5 Questions Meme" that's popular in blogs everywhere. But just feel free to ask.
