I'm blunt. Sometimes to a fault. Pragmaticism above all else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life can always get worse. It often does. I have become stuck in Hong Kong with problems more than my bank account can bear. In an attempt to cover costs I am now swallowing my pride and reaching out.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music, aside from Country.
Movies and books tend to coincide with each other.
I particularly enjoy Caper movies. A thief with a heart of gold is perhaps a romantic idea and not particularly true, but the story is usually worth a laugh.

A modern book that I feel not enough people read is House of Leaves. Definitely worth a read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a 51, 374 word novel in 30 days. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun ride, but good lord is it taxing. Plan on doing it again sometime, but haven't gotten around to it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cynical view and devil's advocate for any situation. I'm also not a bad chef, as far as New Orleans local food goes. If you write, I'm happy to edit.
