A look at love, cynical at times yet with underlying hope. Deeply romantic at times, just plain hedonistic at others. Looking for where the truth lies in between, if such a thing exists.

A favorite quote of mine from this show:

"But I say that love is getting run over by a streetcar in 1928, losing your leg, becoming Edward Teller, inventing the atom bomb, and pretending not to be angry."
