About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

Yes, but did you like the movie?
Was that "The Tao of Steve"? It sounds familiar...
That's my guess too, even though I haven't seen it. Unless you're under some sort of contractual obligation not to tell, inquiring minds want to know...
Okay, apparently, when I do the big update, I need to make the things with links more clear. If you click on "this movie," you will go straight to the "The Tao of Steve" website, for that is, indeed, the movie I watched.
Did I like it? Actually, I'm not sure. I think if I'd stumbled across it on HBO, I would have found it disturbingly funny, with more emphasis on the "funny." But coming so highly recommended from you, I think I found it more disturbing than funny, and considering that I found it pretty funny...
My god, Professor, isn't that kind of the trump card? It's not like you have to say "Well, he was a Nazi and he hated puppies" to make the horror of the situation really apparent.
But I'm totally ready for the movie that uses old Fred as a dating guide...
That would be Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will".
Oh my god. That is hilarious.
I have that one on DVD, too.
Well, if you run out of women to hit on at the bar, you can always drop it by. I'm sure Mrs. Wigglebottom would love another chance to convince you to take her for a ride.
Woman, I am not your personal Netflix.
Running out of women to hit on at the bar??? What sort of futuristic science fiction dytopia are you living in???
But think of how awesome it would be for me if you were my personal Netflix.
