About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Writing the great American short story collection about magic and stuff

ABOUT ME

I can make bread. Not great bread, but good, solid, regular bread.

I also am looking for people with great names for my book.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to not expect adventure.
THAT ME IS DEAD.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Neuromancer, The Once and Future King, LOTR, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, The Picture of Dorian Grey, Lolita, White Teeth, Clockwork Orange, I haven't been anywhere with a great english bookstore or library in a while, so I'd like to trade.

Music:
Post-Punk Diaspora, Hip-Hop, New Wave. If you describe yourself as "eclectic" or "I like anything" then I don't think you really care.

Movies
Clockwork Orange, Jersey Shore

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's all kind of cool, you know? I'm crazy about small animals, so they make the biggest impressions on me.
