Introduction I'm an American born and raised in Europe. I have one degree in English and one in Songwriting: neither one will make me rich. I got married young, which they say can be a bad thing to do but I don't know what they're so worked up about. I'm a recovering fundamentalist, which means I believe in all the stuff from the Apostle's Creed but don't usually bite. I'm also in a couple of bands: Star Called Sun (www.starcalledsun.com) and LYRE (www.lyre.tv).
Interests Ancient history, quantum physics for dummies, Russian language and literature, rock 'n' roll, fencing, Zen Buddhism, electric guitar effects pedals, TV on DVD, geeky tech and vague political theory that makes no use of statistics, reports or facts of any kind.
Favorite Movies Dead Poets Society, Three Amigos, Amadeus, I'm Not There, Spartan, The Ring, Collateral, Man on Wire, Die Hard, The Fountain, Unfaithfully Yours, The Game, Harsh Times, Last Temptation of Christ, The Prestige, Sunset Blvd., The Mission, Primer, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, No Country for Old Men, Vertigo.
