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??
