About Me

Here are 10 random things that make me blissfully happy: Musical numbers, This American Life, fresh tacos, sweat pants with writing on the butt, having the last word, when you're enjoying your job and lose track of time, when a movie audience is clapping and laughing together (both ironically and unironically), alphabetizing, references that maybe 5 people get and I'm one of them, coming over the Brooklyn bridge and seeing Manhattan. Driving down the 101 South and seeing a pink Sunset.
