Louis

I like tai chi and chai tea (but not really)

About Me

A person of limited means, I struggle through life trying to balance the demands of an easy, well-paying job on the one hand with an uncomplicated and fulfilling homelife on the other, all while drowning my worries in cup after cup of strong coffee (decaf). Who am I to try and decode the nebulous whirls and eddies of life, such as the sequencing of Simpsons reruns or why my apartment does not have a real street address? Bewildered, I must simply set my lodestone towards the nearest tap of Guinness and amble on.

My Interests

Eh, nothing very exciting, you wouldn't want to hear about how I got those scars anyway.

I'd like to meet:

The guy who thought it'd be a good idea to replace the lion voltron with the cars-'n-planes one. WTF?

Music:

Music is a symptom of that Aristotlic decadence which has so eroded the inner core of our great Christian civilization. Only by utter self-abnegation can we understand the great rosicrucian axioms by which the Divinity reveals itself.

Movies:

I'll tell you one thing - not Kull the Conqueror. Ugh! I think I'd rather watch Van Helsing again first...

Television:

Like everyone else on Myspace, I assume, I can't get enough of Tony Danza!

Books:

The Corrections, Atonement, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Steppenwolf, The Name of the Rose, Confederacy of Dunces, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Moneyball, Freedom Just Around the Corner, The Elegant Universe, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, Goths and Romans, Before France and Germany

Heroes:

Aurelian. Who in the 3rd century was going to fuck with him - Heruls, the XXX Legion, the Palmyrenes, inflationary currency due to a reduction in silver content? I don't think so! Well, I guess the one guy who murdered him in his tent, but that doesn't count.
