omg. lol. wtf.

About Me

i enjoy doing things at which my performance is terrible. Like playing Frisbee, and going bowling, and trying to hit something with something else (driving range, tennis, batting cages, firing range, any variety of pong).

Let's go do something i'm not so good at. i promise you'll feel better about yourself. :-)

i might hustle you at games involving cards. i assure you this is unintentional, because i actually do not know what i'm doing and have only a tenuous grasp of the rules of any card game. i do, however, destroy at chess.

i want a big ol' deck, a trampoline, a tire swing, a wooden run with maybe one a' them boat-slings, and a yard big enough that i can nap on it and nobody calls the cops on me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My great-great-grandmother and namesake, Katie Kober (My Bess). Also Clara Barton, Galileo, Voltaire, Mae West, Sam Butera, Arthur Schopenhauer, Gene Kelly, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Harpo Marx, Dr. Milo Aukerman, Meg White, Robert Smigel, Bode Miller, Jake LaMotta, Philthy Animal Taylor, Danny Huston, Dave Lampert, Mickey Melchiondo Jr. (as many more times as he'd allow), Marc Milecofsky, Kevin Plank.

and Flea.

i'm a crybaby.

For being such a cynic, i feel like i am more excitable than a lot of other people.  There is the minor matter of my horrible temper, which is embarrassing.  But also, i get really happy about things ...

The Real World

i'm not going to fall into the trap of calling this irony.  But it occurred to me that most of the people at today's open casting call for the 23rd season of "The Real World" at the Hard Rock Cafe on ...

present tense, past perfect

April 1 is an annual day i don't care to spend alone, simply because it was the day in 1993 when my father called to tell me that his older brother had passed away suddenly.  Brothers walking through ...

Naturally, now that it is Carnival time, my camera is acting like crap.  i think it's the battery, but when i buy a battery, it's just as likely to be the charger, which has always kind of given me tr...

Bowling with Tim

Last evening i tried to scam a bowling lesson off my cousin Tim.  The fact that i have my own shoes (and a custom-drilled, monogrammed, glow-in-the-dark ball) does not mean that i am able to break 100...

Oh freakin' whatever.

No tax-consultancy job.  It would appear that i am bombing job-interviews left and right.  Que sera, sera; if one party determines it's not a good fit, then it's not a good fit.  This doesn't just app...
