Snacks are always high on my list. They keep me fueled throughout the day when I'm making and too busy to eat an actual meal, and honestly, I wouldn't be able to survive without them. I love healthier options like trail mix or granola, but I can't resist cookies and gummies. However, my all-time favorite snack is Smartfood Popcorn. I love cheese, especially fake cheese, basically anything cheesy, so their white cheddar cheese is my jam. It's also a mindless snack; I don't think about it when I'm eating it, and I don't feel guilty when I eat a whole bag. And if you're like me, you've spent a lot of time during the pandemic eating your feelings, so why not do it with something that makes you feel a little less bad about yourself.

I try to enjoy some junk food and drink soda every day, albeit in small quantities. Junk food and especially soda are wonderful treats, and the cultural drubbing they have taken in recent years really is a shame because there’s nothing more rewarding than a daily potato chip snack or perhaps a cold can of Dr. Pepper. They make these little cans of soda that are perfect for this. Herrs potato chips are of course the best, and I have made sure to feature them in many of my movies. I’ve also become fond of these Chippea puffs that are sort of like cheese balls.

I prefer to always have fresh bread from the bakery instead or if I’m legitimately hungry I’ll eat a couple of spoonfuls of peanut butter. But I love LesserEvil and Siete snacks so I will buy those once in a blue moon… in another life I was addicted to hot cheetos (praying that I don’t get stomach cancer)

People know that I buy a lot of my stuff online, especially since almost everything I purchase is resale, second-hand, or vintage to use in my work. But I have a secret love for second-hand retail store displays. I have a giant Croc, Vans slip-on, Jansport backpack, and more. I get excited and inspired by them. I love that they're so massive, but they were probably made exactly like standard production pieces. It's also a childhood thing for me, and having them brings that part of my youth back to life.

Ever since I "accidentally" downloaded one of their songs from a Torrent site when I was 14, I've been obsessed with this band. I was looking for the most popular hardcore songs of that year, and one of their songs ended up in my iTunes, and I liked it. You would think it was a phase, but it's not. It's just great music, very energetic, and a good beat. All their albums are currently on repeat at home and work. I planned to see them last March when they played in New York, but you know how that story goes.

I don't really watch movies. My attention span is more for TV. I like shows I can get a lot of information from quickly, and don't drag out the storyline forever, which is why I love Forensic Files. It's easy to follow, it's logical, and I learn something. It's also short and typically solves the case in 30 mins. I'm pretty satisfied after I've watched an episode. But let's be honest, I never watch just one. And when they investigate a significant case, I'll deep dive and go down a rabbit hole for hours. I also like watching shows about air disasters because they focus on learning from their mistakes and fixing their problems as preventative measures for the future. And when I have time, I watch short documentary films or weirdly specific documentaries about religion, cults, and underground sports.
