Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale.

About Me

I play guitar and sing in Landfall . I am also completely incompetent in social situations. Therefore, I have very very very few friends in the real world and don't get out much (if ever). I'm married to Chip, the bass player from my favorite Houston band ever, Shned ! My hobbies include: reconstructing the photographic record of my family history, keeping tabs on worldwide religious violence , playing my steel pan, sitting on the couch with my laptop, band practice, procrastinating, stressing out, sleeping, waking up, watering my plants, buying the wrong ink cartridges for my printer, rocking out, and fantasizing about getting laser eye surgery and wisdom tooth removal some day.

My Interests

Music, songwriting, guitar, bass, steel drums, travel, recording studios, Landfall, audio engineering, movies, web design, metal-detecting, exploring, airplanes, flying, hiking, fishing, antiques, cleaning ancient coins, collecting stuff, my ibook, swords, treasure chests, musical instruments, genealogy, ancient history...
