Taste
The odes: my favorite albums, movies, fruits, and other rankings nobody asked for and I take completely seriously.
My favorite albums
An ode to the albums that defined growing up, falling in love, and finding meaning. Part memoir, part mixtape, all heart.

I read the entire book with my ears
Some people turn pages. I fold towels. Either way, the story gets in there.

My favorite movies
A personal tour of the movies that swept me away, broke me open, and reminded me why I love film in the first place.

Faces of the Blue Bell hall of fame
Who are those goofy-grinning people on every Blue Bell ice cream carton? I overthink them so you don’t have to.

My favorite Christmas songs
My Christmas playlist essentials: the classics, the crooners, and the songs that make the holidays feel equal parts magical and messy.

My favorite fruits
From mango royalty to seedless watermelon science, my fruit power rankings mix nostalgia, nonsense, and a dash of citrus drama.

My favorite TV shows
These TV shows weren’t just background noise—they were life markers, weaving humor, heart, and meaning into ordinary nights.

My favorite TV characters
A personal look at the TV characters who left their mark on me, from wise captains to quirky friends, still resonating years after the credits rolled.

Eight random facts about me
From odd phobias to fake radio shows and a chance run on the homicide beat—eight random facts that somehow make a little more sense together.

Summertime, my old friend
A love letter to summer—that old friend who once began with a school bell and still lives on in memory.
