Nothin' better than a nicely shaped head.

If I were to rank the Sex and the City girls, here's the list. (I love them all, but I'm a Miranda fan.)
1) Miranda
2) Samantha
3) Carrie
4) Charlotte
But the boys are a different matter. Here's the list.
1) Harry
2) Harry
3) Harry
4) Steve and the rest of 'em.
I LOVE Harry. Love him. Knew instantly that Charlotte would get her shiksa together and make it work — and adored him from the start. Hair in all the wrong places, and yet — Harry was the one for me, and Charlotte apparently. Good news, Harry fans, it turns out actor Evan Handler is actually much cooler than the character he plays — and a really great writer. He might give actors a good name.

His second memoir It's Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive, picks up where the first one left off. Get this — when he was twenty three, he was told he had six months to live. After intensive chemotherapy, a long shot bone marrow transplant, and a fifty percent chance of remission — he survived. His first memoir was about his illness... This one is about his survival. It's really worth reading, Harry fan or not. And it's definitely worth tuning in today.
