The Junk Drawer

Every house needs a junk drawer for everything that doesn’t fit neatly anywhere else. This section showcases what I’m up to, including (but never limited to) plays, concerts, home improvement, horticulture (plants are cool), video game, some cat photos, and probably a few surprises if you’re lucky.

Re(Plays)

Welcome to my record shelf! Here you’ll find reviews of albums new and old, mostly in terms of how each make me feel inside and why I keep replaying them. Sometimes you’ll get a special bonus: I’ll show off my vinyl copies, especially the collectible ones. I’m by no means an expert who knows everything, but I usually have something interesting to share regardless. Each review will include the album on Spotify so you can listen while you read.

Re(Views)

I’ve always been interested in what makes a show worth watching again and again. I’ve been watching Seinfeld reruns for just about my entire life, and I can’t tell you precisely why. In these rewatches, I’ll attempt to identify that very aspect. From sitcoms to pro wrestling to live plays I’m working on, you’ll get to find out what stands out to me.

The Junk Drawer Journals

These articles are literal journal entries I am making public. Yes, there is an actual journal in an actual junk drawer. Or at least it’s supposed to be; I keep leaving it other places.
