About

I'm a twentysomething MFA grad enjoying life in a state of flux, dreaming of Paris and San Francisco while loving the warm summer evenings in North Carolina. I'm a little irreverent, a little mercurial, with an uncanny knack for putting my foot in my mouth.

Monday Mustache
When Warren was over for dinner Friday, the three of us had a deep, important discussion about mustaches. We came to the decision that there are two people who can really pull off a mustache: Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck (but especially Tom Selleck). I present the evidence: I think I’ve spent most of my [...]
