About Me

I enjoy dancing 'till dawn and sleeping 'till noon. Movies, mayhem and strawberry ice cream. I read a lot and make up reasons to buy more wine. I'm (slowly) learning Spanish through my co-workers (a Peruvian, a Cuban, and a few Colombians). People will probably tell me that it would be easier to learn Spanish and THEN try to direct Spanish-speaking newscasts, but what's life without a little challenge. Music is a big part of my life and has been the driving (no pun intended) force behind 90% of my road trips. I like to get outside and experience as many new things as life has to offer...especially if that means traveling a bit. That's it for now. More to come...leave your message after the beep.

This was a bulletin.

Don't listen to me if you don't want to, but the new Nine Inch Nails album is pretty damned good.  It's a cavalcade of interweaving rhythms and themes bifurcating the very foundation of our colle...
