Prolific indeed

About Me

I am 32 years old from NY/CT area. I've traveled around the states as a journalist writing articles for several magazine publications - Reality TV Magazine, Buzz (public relations magazine out of NYC), indieWIRE, Film Threat, & Paper Magazine. I have appeared occasionally on cable (E!, VH1) tv as a panel journalist. I continue to write film reviews & a daily journal on my indieWIRE magazine blog. I write a blog here (myspace) on what I like or annoys me in pop culture today.
