About Me

I sometimes try to resolve my life's dilemmas with Venn diagrams and 2x2 tables, and my dating disasters in terms of Type I and Type II errors. I think too much yet I am full of insight about my own mental ailments. Perhaps guilty of solipsism. I wish I were musically inclined. Then I'd be cool. I wanna move back to Austin and be in a band. I'd name it either: Chalk Outline, Lawn Jockey, Roach Clip, or Cassingle depending on the nature of how we would rock together (walking together notwithstanding). I do crosswords in pen. I am not cocky, but the sound of pencil on newspaper is like nails on a chalkboard to me. My whole day is usually planned around what I am going to eat. I have a decent memory, which I think is because I will always remember what I ate and wore on a particular occasion. I talk about food way too much. I hate mayonnaise and raisins. Want to know my last meal? Write me.

Bye Bye B's

I've been too bummed (or maybe just too lazy) to write about this until now. My hospital cafeteria has recently changed owners. They used to be called "B's" or "B Cafe", depending upon which homemade ...

Sex and the City (of Dublin)

Whilst in Ireland last week, I got to see some late night TV and discovered that "Sex and the City" comes with its very own sign language interpreter. N.B. this was the "HBO" version and not the "TBS"...
