My friends would describe me as a deep thinker.. my enemies, a sarcastic cynic. I have traveled quite a bit, and feel like my horizons have broadened. I'm pretty politically liberal, and my favorite news hosts include John Stewart and Rachel Maddow.

To be continued...over email or coffee.

Update: moved to Austin in August for work. Getting to know the city, especially 6th street pubs.

I completed a masters degree in 2008, and I'm still waiting for something that feels like a career, not just a job. At this point, I'm writing and selling art pieces online.

cooking, leather-working, painting, staying eco-friendly (by packing 40lbs. of groceries into the front basket of my bicycle)

In shorts- my many leg tattoos

Books: Anne Rice, Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett

Movies: Too many to name them all. I'm a huge fan of everything Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith have done.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Life Aquatic (anything by Wes Anderson), Shaun of the Dead, Ravenous. I love horror, especially cheesy horror. I'm also a fan of raunchy comedies like Knocked Up and Superbad.

Shows: Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, Discovery Channel documentaries. Mad Men (it's one of those shows I'm not sure I love or hate). Walking dead, 30 Rock, Always Sunny.

Music: Traditional Irish music, Grunge bands from my youth...

Special mention: Pogues, Dubliners, Nirvana, The Beatles, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill particularly). More recent bands/singers include Rilo Kiley, and Death Cab for Cutie.

I cook a lot, so my favorite foods are difficult recipes that I'm trying out for the first time

My kitchen (fully stocked)
My cat
An internet connection
Art projects
My notepad
Tea

The zombie apocalypse...

Typical Friday nights do not exist for me.

Hmm..my guilty pleasures include shows about "Ancient Aliens" and conspiracy theories. I don't buy into most of it, but it's like junk-food tv for an anthropology nerd.

you have a zombie survival strategy you'd like to discuss
