CURRENT MISSION

Ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are for.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nerd. Total bookworm. I work at a film and photography museum. I LOVE movies. Like a magpie, I like shiny things. If I had to choose between salt and pepper, I'd choose pepper (note, this refers to spices, not the super awesome 80s hip hop duo - I could never choose between the two of them). I think my duty as an American is to visit every state at least once. I also have a rather long list of other places in the world I'm curious about. I don't know what else - I make it up as I go along.

PHILOSOPHY

The yogis say life is just a dance of consciousness. I think mine is doing the polka.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like most stuff. Whether it is deep/emotional, or just for entertainment value, I can find a way to appreciate it. Some of my favorite movie directors are Terry Gilliam, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Tom Tykwer, Jim Jarmush... And so many more that I'm leaving out but love just the same. I don't watch much T.V., but I like stuff made by Joss Wheton, Alan Ball, and Brian Fuller. For Books, I like Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, Bill Willingham, Andrew Sean Greer, Keith Donohue, and so many more...
