"I'm a free-spirit, as evidenced by my wild dancing. I so need to get out of this conservative hellhole that's stifling my creativity."

My giant DVD collection
I have a huge DVD collection that's always growing - it's the closest thing I have to a hobby, I guess. Sometimes I wonder if the "collect!" impulse is distinct from the "watch movies!" impulse, even though their interconnected like they are. My lone concession to common sense: I've stopped…

Estelle Getty, Let's Begin
Estelle Getty, Look out friend,

Ok, everybody take a deep breath.
