I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

This place is fucking scary. I mean, seriously. Have you ever just randomly browsed around --- I mean randomly --- while sober? It's a wretched hive of flashing shit and strumpetude.That's right folks: the average Myspace profile drives me to drink.So I'm now an unemployed (for the moment) grad student living in Cambridge. I have my own bathroom. I can see the Charles, a block away, from my bedroom window....is this actually my life?Finally, I now know too many real people on MySpace to mock it openly. I'm...conflicted. Toplist is now reserved for the last eight people I drank with. Novel, I know.

My Interests

Comedy. Writing. Technology. Living on the absolute cutting edge. Singing. Digital music. Games.

I'd like to meet:

Entertainment. Failing that, entertaining people.

Music:

Ah yes, the music list. I listen to, effectively, everything. This includes absolutely horrible shit, which I'm just not going to list here.Recently I've been on a weird kick, moving from The Mars Volta to the late-stage At the Drive-In to Panic! At the Disco: also, the entire soundtrack of Guitar Hero 1&2. Prior to that, Clapton, Cream, and Kanye.CDs I can see from where I sit: Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, At the Drive-In - This Station is Non-Operational, Stellastarr* Harmonies for the Haunted, Kanye West - Late Registration, Cream - Best of Cream, The Crystal Method - Tweekend, Eve 6 - Horrorscope, Rolling Stones - Forty Licks, The Who - Live at Leeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones, Matisyahu - Youth, Danko Jones - Sleep is the Enemy, Foo Fighters - In Your Honor, Paul Oakenfold et al. - The Swordfish Soundtrack.

Movies:

I don't watch movies much. In fact, one of my best friends just bitched me out for not having seen any of the Godfather series. UPDATE: 2/3 of the way there.Movie drawer: Fight Club. Clerks. Office Space. Dogma. Snatch. Crash. Mirrormask. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (I'm not making this shit up: http://imdb.com/title/tt0311361/).

Television:

If you don't believe that Family Guy, and to a lesser extent Futurama, was/is (it's OK to not like the new season) the best show on television, we probably have nothing to talk about.Also, I love Scrubs. Don't know why. Just do.Currently slogging through Rescue Me and debating catching up on House.

Books:

Again, I read everything. Favorite author is, inevitably, which of Neil Gaiman, Isaac Asimov, Neal Stephenson, or George R.R. Martin: whichever I've read last.Bookshelf from where I sit is Isaac Asimov's The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science Volume I and II (first edition), V for Vendetta, Sandman, Watchmen, Anansi Boys, Fevre Dream, [a shit-ton of technical books and textbooks], Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Lost in a Good Book, Flatterland, Flatland, Notes from the Underground, Quicksilver, The Desiderata of Happiness, About a Boy, The Professor and the Madman, The Eyre Affair, Shogun, The Art of War (James Clavell translation), [All of the Song of Ice and Fire books to date], Neuromancer, Virtual Light, Pattern Recognition, The Collected Works of Shakespeare, and I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.

Heroes:

Caleb, for correctly predicting how huge social networks would be.

MySpace

So, Caleb, we finally figured out what it takes to get me to start poking around MySpace again. This is mostly for your benefit, since we haven't talked in ages. ;)Still recovering from visiting Smith...
