About Me

Zak is a factory lathe operator who has developed a serious case of insomnia. Lack of sleep has already started to wear down on his brain and his body. When he's involved in an accident at work, his co-workers turn against him. He starts to find strange notes in his apartment and see people that apparently aren't there.

My Interests

photography. colored pencils. caffeine. wondering what exactly you meant by that comment. votive candles. voodoo dolls. strange girls who lick my face. homemade postcards. cookie dough. orphans. trivial pursuit. interesting alcoholic concoctions. lizard kisses. undulatinglongitudinal. dollar l.i.t.s.

Television:

i'm not going to be one of those people who says "i don't watch television, it rots your brain." i don't watch television, and it does rot your brain. but i don't watch it because i'm usually too busy doing other things that more effectively rot my brain. i'm not diametrically opposed to a good brain-rotting.
