About Me

About Me:
These guys have been screwing around with their page layouts and I can't be bothered to make it look proper anymore, so that's why everything looks wonky. These guys need some serious protocol. Anyway.
I'm a grad student in theoretical computer science but I'm only in it for the first-hand look at the superficial fetishization of the hard sciences in an art-driven community.
My favourite sandwich of the winter has been guacamole, havarti, red pepper, and dijon. Don't be a fool. Always put cumin in guac, not to mention enchiladas.
I'd like to get really excited about something breathtaking and stay that way for at least a while. Sometimes I'm kind of an idiot, socially... I mean I have a hard time with things. Not like I have Asperger's or something, but I have moments of doubleplusunsmoothness. Travel travel travel is it is it code for "I like to not work" or if you're a stickler with your infinitives, "I like not to work." Or cavemannish could be, maybe, "I not like to work."I used to do a good T. S. Eliot; his diction is funny and a funny anagram of his name is toilets.
