Music, books, television, and movies have always been a large part of my life, not only for entertainment but as my way of learning about people and the world and how to exist in it.

Growing up in the San Fernando Valley without siblings but numerous cousins and a close group of friends, I benefited from supportive parents and a social circle who let me develop my own interests without threat of judgment.

After college I wrote the occasional spec script with friends that went nowhere, turned my day job into my real job, and then watched as my life shrank over time as my caregiving responsibilities grew.

This blog is my effort to get back into writing, to delve into subjects I find interesting, and try to create so I won’t feel regret at never having tried.
