I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a botanist. I look at plants and stuff. I live in Ventura and work on restoring riparian habitat and killing Arundo donax.
Everything is still good right now. Sara will be moving in with me (part time) soon. Work is going well, but busy. The only notable negative of note is just this drawn out drought... but the rains will come back
I haven't made any new music in the last few months though.Sonic Colonic !

My Interests

Plants, weather, music , dumb computer games like Warcraft, hanging out with friends, vegetation mapping, long road trips, singing loudly, water flowing through mud and creating neat patterns, everything turning green after the rains, the habits of hipsters, making up goofy music, xenon molecules.

I'd like to meet:

Tamarisk beetles, coyotes, relict Pleistocene Ponderosa Pines, synchronous fireflies

Music:

SONIC COLONIC!
lately: Calexico, The Mountain Goats, The Fruit Bats, Elliot Smith, The Shins, The New Pornographers, Fountains of Wayne, Elf Power, Teenage Fanclub
Ongoing: Less than Jake, Simon and Garfunkel, HomeGrown, my superhero, hippos, rites of spring, Everclear, old Blink (dude Ranch), Green Day, a few Jimmy Eat World songs, etc.. stuff no one else still likes. Beulah, Weakerthans, postthrashmetalnaturaldisastergospelcore, New Car Smell.

Movies:

I just saw Superbad, liked that

Television:

the world outside is buzzing like an angry wasp in summer, the candidates are running, and soon the son of God is coming, crackle mental convolutions tune in to the revolution, whereby everyone's included so we'll never have to be alone

Books:

Hitchhikers Guide, Monkey Wrench Gang/Desert Solitaire, Watership Down, various books by Tom Brown, jr, Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, Ecology of Fear, The Secret Knowledge of Water
