About Me

Eggs. Flour. Sugar. Chocolate. The 4 cornerstones of any healthy diet. With my whisk and my spatula, I spend the days creating the kind of dessert monstrosities one can only dream of. Fuck Atkins, this is life.
I terrorize Hollywood with my plastic camera (Holga 120CFN). I play the guitar (badly) and write really bad electro songs using Reason. I like to doodle on napkins.
Yes, I am *the* Charlie Angel Slut, original guitarist for The Memphis Flyer's 19th most essential band in Memphis: The Angel Sluts . I know a lot of you girls came out to see me, but the band still kicks ass. Go see em and give em your love.

I know I didn't post an update about my doctor's visit, but basically:It's still broken. There was improvement, so they're going to keep me on the device and see if it finally heals completely.&...
