Author, blogger, actor, director, English teacher, French speaker, cartoonist, brush painter, poor Chinese calligrapher, so-so Korean speaker, traveler, occasional hiker, and all-around contemplative. Interested in questions of religion, philosophy, and culture. Irregular meditator. Addicted to the videogame "Halo." No TV in the domicile, luckily. No CD/stereo, either, come to think of it.
