| Introduction | Since buying an open-concept loft in a converted shoe factory five years ago, my progress on home improvement/personalization projects has been, to put it mildly, slow, but that's about to change. I'm learning more about DIY every day, and I'm hoping this blog will help me stay on track as I tick projects off my (lengthy) to-do list. |
| Interests | DIY, home improvement, homebrewing, reading, music (most genres), pop culture, soaking up quality family time |
| Favorite movies | Vertigo, Indiana Jones (original trilogy; Crystal Skull was dreck), Star Wars (original trilogy), Die Hard (and its sequels), Hitchcock, Statham (guilty pleasure), Kelly's Heroes (see Statham), Eastwood (mostly as an actor), To Kill a Mockingbird (my blood still boils during the courtroom scenes) |
| Favorite music | My taste really can't be pinned down. I run the gamut from '80s hip-hop to classic country to (some) pop to guitar-driven rock - and just about everything in between (notice "just about" - I had to give myself some wiggle room). Favorites include: Wilco, David Gray, Damien Rice, Ray Lamontagne, Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, Alice in Chains, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Pete Yorn. |
| Favorite books | To Kill a Mockingbird, James Patterson (it's like junk food: I know it's not good for me, but I love to devour one in an afternoon), Nick Hornby, Mil Millington, Mark Barrowcliffe, John Lescroart, Michael Connelly, John Grisham, Tim Dorsey, Carl Hiassen |
