Hello!

I'm originally from the wonderful Lafayette, LA, where you can get some of the best home cooking and meet the friendliest people to be found on the planet. I later went to college and lived for a time in Portland, OR. At college I majored in philosophy, with concentrations in classical studies and mathematics. I recently finished a year of English teaching in gorgeous Guilin, China, and I'm currently in pursuit of wonder.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Complete Works of Plato, ed. John M. Cooper, is almost literally my Bible. You can open this book to any page and find something worthy of careful and prolonged consideration. Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is also hugely inspiring.

The Ace Attorney video game series is one of my favorites, and is the main reason why I shout "Objection!" randomly at people. I'm also partial to classics such as the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series. Currently playing Magicka with some friends.

I'm pretty open musically speaking. There's very little that I won't at least give a try. I would say that I currently find myself going back to jazz and blues music, and contemporary remixes thereof.
