| Introduction | Random stories, artwork, poetry, eye-witness accounts, commentary as well as book and film reviews. I have a lot going on in my head. For example, I recently put myself in an imaginary position of having to choose the 3 cutest dog breeds, and explain why in front of a committee. |
| Interests | sharpening pencils, binge watching 90s-era sci-fi fantasy shows, savasana pose, le francais, the smell of hardware stores, Ireland, Mad Libs, perfume, drawing, painting, and--most of all--analyzing and diagnosing life around me. |
| Favorite movies | Young Frankenstein, Auntie Mame, Black Swan, The Fifth Element, The Age of Innocence, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (and yes, I've already got a grail...it's very nice). |
