Hey y'all. I've been feeling like I need more adventure in my life lately, so here I am, trying to say "yes" to as many things as possible. I work fully remotely in biotech so I actually have a fair amount of latitude in where I can go during the work week.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh man. This is an impossible list, but I can do subsets:

Music: I've had CHVRCHES and Bastille in heavy rotation lately.
Movies: I think my favorite movie from when I was a kid was called "Explorers" and featured three kids who build a spaceship together. It was kind of the ultimate in wish fulfillment fiction.
Books: I'll go back to childhood again: HUGE fan of the "So You Want to Be a Wizard" books by Diane Duane. Lately I've been reading a little more nonfiction.
