I'm currently in graduate school working towards an M.F.A. in Screen and Television Writing. The ultimate goal is to create my own TV shows and cartoons and watch as generations of impressionable kids are slowly molded into my faithful lackeys.

I love to read, but that's been falling by the wayside as school is once again throwing a lot of reading my way and I don't have time to strictly read for pleasure. I love movies of all varieties, so long as they're well-written and enjoyable. A few favorite directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Coen brothers, Kurosawa.

Love all kinds of music. Rock and roll, classic rock, and oldies when I feel like being nostalgic. Here are a few modern bands that I love to help better shape what kind of music I like:

Camera Obscura, The New Pornographers, Owl City, Yo La Tengo, The Arcade Fire, Bikeride, Super Furry Animals, Beta Band, B.R.M.C., Bloc Party, Death Cab for Cutie, Eisley, Elliott Smith, Gorillaz, Interpol, Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins, Modest Mouse, Pinback, Rilo Kiley, Stars, The Faint, The Postal Service, The Strokes, The Pillows, Wolf Parade, Ben Kweller, Belle and Sebastian, Guided By Voices, Jack Johnson, Matt Pond PA, Pavement, Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, Iron & Wine, Jens Lekman, Mates of State, Of Montreal, Radiohead, Rogue Wave, Spoon, Tenacious D, and the Toy Dolls.

I might add more info here later, but until then, just ask.
