Congratulations! I'm a boy!

I was recently doing the quint-essentially self-centered past time of Googling my own name: Jamie Arpin-Ricci. The hoped for result was there! I found a listing that I had nothing to do with. Someone had come across my Blog about the movie "The Manchurian Candidate" and quoted me in their own blog.

On the posting, entitled "Conspiracy of Pretty People", I was quoted by name. It was only after reading it a second time (and with the help of my friend, Jim), I noticed that the writer referred for to me... as a she!!! DOH!

I guess I can't blame him (or her?). With a name like Jamie, it happens a lot, especially on the net, where identity is as real as a Baywatch boob job. I can't even fall back on James, because Jamie is my birth name. And besides, it's my name and I freaking like it!

Anyway, for all future readers, let it be known:

Congratulations! I'm a boy!
