About Me

I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska, where I spent most of my first 29 years. I left Nebraska after completing my doctorate degree in psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Since then, I've been living in Virginia and working for the federal government, first as a research psychologist and now in IT.

These are a few of my favorite things:

Hobbies: Spending hours and hours in front of the computer, sightseeing, mountain biking, shopping at used book stores, browsing on eBay, planning our next vacation.

Authors: Milan Kundera, Ann Tyler, Cristina Garcia.

All-time favorite books: The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera), Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant (Ann Tyler), Running from Safety (Richard Bach), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis).

More recent favorite books: The Time Traveler's Wife (Audrey Niffenegger), A Million Little Pieces (James Frey).

Movies: Casablanca, Out of Africa, Arthur, Moulin Rouge.

Most recent favorite movie: Haven't seen any great movies lately!

Food: Thai is the best (locally at Tara Thai or Thai Star), followed by Indian (at Aditi, Aarathi, or Haandi).

Chocolate: Anything raspberry from Godiva, but especially the raspberry crowns, raspberry truffles, and milk chocolate starfish.

TV Shows: The Simpsons, South Park, Scrubs.
