Hi, my name is

My current culture obsessions:

Nursing my sorrow that Ira Madison III left "Keep It!" by (finally) reading his delightful "Pure Innocent Fun"
Belting the soundtrack to "K-Pop Demon Hunters" in my shower
Counting down to the "Chess" Broadway revival
Revisiting "Hollow Knight" since "Silksong"
might actually be coming??
