animal lover/ mouse killer
I am responsible for a death. Richie spotted a mouse under my desk, much to my shrieking dismay. I’m sure I lured him there in the first place with my drawers full of discarded Clif bars that my husband sends to work with me and also the Ding Dongs I’m hiding from my husband. I could not bring myself to sit at my desk knowing that icky little mouse feet might be scurrying across my own toes. I could get the plague! Or hantivirus! And everybody knows, where you see one mouse, there are many others lurking in the shadows. So I agreed to let Richie set a trap which promptly caught said mouse. The minute I saw him, his tiny little neck snapped in the trap, my heart sank. He was such a cute little thing-all furrry and whiskers and whatnot. I am an animal lover, always have been. I’ve even been one of those ‘activist’ animal lovers- getting involved in causes like Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Rallying X96 listeners to participate in Strut your Mutt, Dare to Wear Black Ball and countless Super Adoption events. I’ve even won an award for “Best Media Representative for Animals”...yet what trumps all of that is my stupid, girly fear of mice. I am a hypocrite. I am ashamed. My wussiness killed a mouse.
Gina’s Top 10 Movies

Here they are in no particular order:
Shakespeare in Love - OK, Maybe this is my favorite. It’s got it all: Shakespeare, bare-chested smoochin’, witty dialogue, a bit with a dog… Love it. I’m going to go watch it right now.
Pretty Woman - It’s Julia for God’s sake!!! Plus, I always wanted to have the nerve to spit a giant wad of gum at some random bitchy woman on the street.
Raising Arizona - Funniest movie ever. I’ve seen it a million times and I still roll on the floor every time I hear, “These balloons blow up into funny shapes?” “Not unless you think round is funny.”
Young Frankenstein - Funniest movie ever. I’ve seen it a million times and I still roll on the floor every time I hear, “Would you like to go for a roll in ze hay?”
Aliens - Ass kickin’ woman “Get away from her, you bitch!!!”, Great villain, great Bill Paxton lines like, “Why don’t you put her in charge?”
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Non-stop action, bare-chested smoochin’, bull whip, and a woman drinking a mob of thugs under the table.
Pulp Fiction - The epitome of cool.
Star Wars - Went to see this movie for my 8th birthday and saw it ten more times before my 9th birthday.
Somewhere in Time - “RICHARD!!!!!!!”
Grease - It’s the word, you know.
