I’m Nathan. I used to live in Belgium. Now, I live in Texas (but I go back to the land of waffles and beer as often as I can). I’m a comic-book-loving, film-addicted, list-writing, art-kid. I also like Doctor Who, Whedon shows, Fringe, and sometimes I get emotionally invested. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-20840089-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
