About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, beer, surfing, trapshooting, and the geopolitics of oil. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia and work in Washington, DC. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

    Just dropped a slobber encrusted tennis ball on my keyboard. Sure is adorable, though.

    More half smoke art at Ben’s Chili Bowl


    Oh, I definitely will. I love Ben’s. Half of the photos on my phone are of their half smokes. This was my reward for helping Elisabeth move a couch from Silver Spring to Adams Morgan.

    Previous art can be found here.

    What can you do with an $8 ukulele?

    Not much, except drive everyone at home and the office absolutely crazy.

    Testing out flickr’s moblog capability

    [Brilliant. It actually works. Now that I can post to lindsayfincher.com via my phone, I'll never have to use my computer to actually write a post that contains any substance whatsoever. Instead, I will merely post poor quality photos from my Treo, with brief descriptions that lack proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Eh, kidding. This could be a fun feature to use when I'm traveling.]
