I like words and their proper and improper uses.
I love that any of us are crazy enough to want to write or make movies or music for a living.
I endorse scrabble and chess.
I like it when people are genuinely kind to each other. Sue me.
I like the Fall (the season not the theological event).
I love cats. I don't have one now but there was a dignified feline named Tommy Aloysius that was a member of my family for fifteen years.
I am admittedly a bit of a moody person from time to time but really quite genuinely nice, actually.
Although I study film these days, my background is in classical piano and dirty rock n roll guitar.
I love the blues, bluegrass, and Tell Mama (ETTA JAMES!)
I can easily become haunted by places, or memories.
