About Me

I'm a landscape architecture major at a school best know for its football team, and football team inspired drunken rioting. I spend unholy amounts of time working on various projects, and have a penchant for drinking to excess when I find a little wiggle room in my schedule (but I manage to refrain from throwing beer bottles at cops and lighting cars ablaze when I do so... for the most part) I'm 27 and still living with my parents, which is probably as much fun for them as it is for me. But like I said, school=massive demand on my time, which in turn, =not much work and not much money for rent. Especially not after I spend hundreds of dollars to print out presentation boards and forty-page site-analysis documents. And I'm not exactly keen to go into debt for another $25,000 dollars just to ease my suffering pride by taking out loans for room and board. What does it matter where I live anyway? It's not like I have much of a life outside of school (read: girlfriend), anyway... remember? Bitch, Bitch Bitch, School, Bitch, Bitch, Bitch, Work, Bitchedy-Bitch-Bitch. Ok, I'm done.Discus

Sin City, Kill Bill, PCU, The various Matrices, anime, Team America, The Big Lebowski, The Princess Bride, most Kung Fu, Old School, Super Troopers. If it's comedy, or action, I'm probably into it. Oh, and that one movie I watched on basic cable from 2 to around 5am on some random night, dumbfounded by it's asinine..ity?. Folowing the credits, the host of whatever program was showing it described it as being oft critized as "Tedious, nonsensical, and intentionally ridiculous" or something to that effect. Very entertaining. God, I wish I could remember what its title was.

Adult Swim, Comedy Central, The Science Channel, National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, and whatever crap is on VH1 when I have no choice. Oh, and The Simpsons.

And who was that who wrote "The Ecstacy Club"?. That was a fun book. "Gun with Occasional Music" was pretty good, I think that guys' name was Jonathan Lethem. Roald Dahl. Anne Rice. Emerson. Thoureau.
