current obsession

Back when I was young, impressionable and thought that I could do absolutely anything without immediately counteracting the thought with all the negative self-talk I'm capable of now, I wanted to do crime scene reconstruction. I mean hard core wanted to do it and this was years before CSI made the entire field seem effortless and sexy.

Studying psychology in college was the last step taken toward this goal. Somehow my career path shifted entirely with the help of an internship with Citysearch. From there I focused on writing, hence my current state. But, despite the fact that I'm far from studying ballistics and blood spatter and pretty happy spending my days and nights writing for peanuts, I still LOVE me a good unsolved, mysterious crime. The best place to delve into this: A&E's "The First 48," a much too simplistic but still worthwhile bird's eye view of the first 48 hours following homicides. Love it!

July 4th - what did I do all day? The rainy, humid weather kept me indoors, comfortably perched on the sofa, eating homemade apple pie and watching back-to-back episodes of this fantastic show. How patriotic is that?!
