Ask me about AMAZING BARGAINS!I also like the galaxy, dinosaurs, epistemology, realism, ethics, singing and dancing, comparative religion, diaries, kindness, mechanics, bad jokes, eudaemonia, the Shakespeare controversy, libertarian political thought, warm rainy nights, impressionism, self-improvement, abnormal psych, and the Buddha. Lots of other stuff, too, that's just off the top of my head.
