About Me

I was born in a peat bog in the Welsh countryside in 1804. It was midnight. There were Druids and stuff.You need to go look at the pictures of my kid right now. RIGHT NOW.

My Interests

My wife and son Owen, theater, uh... jeez, is that all? Also, I like words a lot. Having read through any of this will probably fill you in on that, though. I'm digging playing paintball quite a bit right now.

Music:

A bunch of lame crap. Also, The Killers.

Movies:

Oh, damn. Lots. Casablanca, Stranger than Fiction, American Beauty, Memento, Punch Drunk Love, Airplane, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Requiem for a Dream, The Squid and the Whale, Lost in Translation, Shopgirl, The Royal Tenenbaums, Gangs of New York, Closer, uh... What else to list to make myself look good... Also, Days of Thunder and Happy Gilmore. Mystic River can kiss my ass.

Television:

A bunch of lame crap. Jeopardy. Mythbusters.

Books:

The Road, Lullaby, The Dark Tower series, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Watership Down, Everything is Illuminated, The Talisman, The Time Traveller's Wife, Life of Pi, The Alchemist, and about 20 or so plays that I could list.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Owen's got it.Hopefully just a mild case, but it still sucks. Having it basically means that Owen's head and airways are packed full of mucus and he sounds like he's breathing through a snorkel all th...

Angelina Jolie leaves her kids at my daycare.

I picked Owen up from daycare today, and I saw Shiloh for the first time. Sara told me about her, but I guess I forgot.Shiloh is a little girl with Down Syndrome. She's tiny, tiny, tiny and you can se...

I’ll probably be dead soon.

When I talked to the HR people at the school district, they told me that I'd need to have a physical done to make sure that I didn't have any communicable diseases (which apparently is pretty common) ...

Run for your lives!

Owen has been crawling for the last two weeks. I'd have posted this news, but Sara and I are mostly hiding behind things and coming out only when he leaves the room. Do you remember in Jack and the Be...

Two church stories and The Police

I was driving last night. I glanced at the side of the road and saw, for the briefest fraction of a second, what I thought was a huge Misfits decal on the window of some building. I only thought that ...
