Ad astra per aspera

About Me

In flux.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

...

Music:

Literally everything except for country. Favorites: Coldplay, John Mayer, The Vines, BT, Dr. Dre, Linkin Park, Royksopp, A Perfect Circle, Dave Matthews Band, Yoko Kanno, Miles Davis, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Led Zeppelin, Musiq, Portishead, Mana, INFM... and a bunch of other ones that I'd probably like if you brought it up.

Movies:

I can never answer this section... Let's see: American Beauty, The Sixth Sense, Amelie, The Matrix, The Mummy, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, The Full Monty, The Notebook, and any Mel Brooks movie.

Television:

Long live The X Files!!! I'm crazy into Lost right now!! All caught up and ready to play those numbers in the lotto... Also: Cowboy Bebop, 24, Nip/Tuck, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Teen Titans, The Daily Show, and the best show ever made: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.

Books:

The Harry Potter series (and if you scoff at that, it's just because you haven't given them a chance.) Life of Pi, Catcher in the Rye, Mencius, Invisible Man, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for A Hat, The Truth About Fiction, my Webster's Quotationary. Do comic books and manga fall into this? If so, Marvel's Runaways, and I've taken a liking to Shutterbox for my little gothic kick...

My Blog

Happy Birthday to meeeeee!

Yes and No!

Holy Shinoly! It's certainly been a while since I've been around here... Umm, NO, I'm not dead. Yes, I am alive and kicking. No, I haven't left for Antarctica yet. Yes, I haven't felt any desire to...

"After all is said and done, more is said than done." - Aesop

I haven't had much to say to people at large. I'm writing so damn much these days that I'm usually just waiting for some time alone to vomit on the page or screen. One of these days I'm...

The (Queen)

I really like this song. I've only heard it on the "Punk Goes Acoustic" CD, so I haven't a clue what the "real" song sounds like. I don't much care. The acoustic guitar and harmonica make it an awesom...

Sparks

I love it when you find those unofficial MySpace sites of your favorite bands. They tend to have the older, fan favorite songs rather than just the latest. Not so great when they won't play right thou...

Dry Your Eyes

I was flipping through my iPod and re-discovered this great song by The Streets. They were more know for "Fit But You Know It"; this hilarious song where he's talking about a girl who's "an 8 or a 9, ...

Communication Breakdown
