About Me

busy bee. smart ass. outgoing introvert. my mom tells me i'm sweet too.

My Interests

hanging out with my crazy friends and crazier family; music, preferably live; flip flops, vans slip-ons; brunch; dreaming about having time to a) spend qt in the castle and b) actually watch the crap on my dvr.

I'd like to meet:

professors of fun, game board division (with a concentration in trivial pursuit). clark kent, buddy holly, dan wilson and other members of the nerdy glasses crew.

Music:

Darn those hackers that changed my profile! Ah well… I like a lot of everything. Instead of listing the usuals, here are a few of my favorite LA bands right now. Go check ‘em out: Sunday Drivers, Acute, The Good Listeners, Silversun Pickups, The Airborne Toxic Event, The Bird & The Bee, The Broken West, Sea Wolf, Earlimart, The Little Ones, The Deadly Syndrome, Mezzanine Owls, Western States Motel and so much more.

Movies:

princess bride, in america, raising victor vargas, eternal sunshine, sixteen candles, say anything, one crazy summer, gross pointe blank, high fidelity (clearly i heart john cusack but i grew up in the 80's & 90's so it's okay). i like a lot of movies i know i shouldn't too: overboard, bridget jones's diary, can't hardly wait, empire records, etc

Television:

how i met your mother (seriously people, start watching!), ugly betty, entourage, the office, scrubs, law & order:svu, good morning america (i miss charlie gibson). always: arrested development, freaks and geeks, the cosby show, the wonder years, six feet under

Books:

me talk pretty one day, the namesake, the white boy shuffle, us weekly

Heroes:

my mom, grandma and sister are way up there. and my brother from another mother, aziz ansariand my other brother, kal penn

My Blog

stop the hate. now.

I have recently been forwarded a number of messages about the evil that is all Muslims. They are propagandist messages of hate, flat out lies at the least. While I am not a practicing Muslim, the peop...

Go West Young (Wo)Man

Horace Greeley published "Go west young man" 140 years ago today. (Though after some very slight research, I found out the saying didn't actually originate with him. Yeah, I'm a dork.) And two years...
