I once bowled a 180. Usually my average is around 125-130
I am still looking for a USB-Midi interface.

My Interests

Juggling, pencil and paper role-playing games (but not if you're going to get all weird about it,) guitar, keyboards, bowling, cooking, All these things are pretty dorky aren't they? Yeah, well, you can cram it, smelly.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who can demonstrate a Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction for me. I really want to see one. Your lab or mine, either way.

Music:

I like The Books and pretty much anything else that is both dance-able and aleatoric, Elliott Smith, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Wendy Carlos, DAT Politics, David Byrne, Bishop Allen, My Bloody Valentine, Arco, Polysics, Shostakovich, Stravinski is sometimes awesome, Beethoven is usually pretty hip, Figurine is good, so are The Residents. I'm not really picky.

Movies:

Futurama: Bender's Big Score, that new Batman movie, Amelie, True Stories, Donnie Darko, Pi, Wet Hot American Summer, Pumpkin, Royal Tannenbaums, Bottle Rocket. I don't really watch that many movies, actually. A friend of mine talked me into seeing 'Troy' in the movie theater, and it was all downhill from there.

Television:

The Venture Bros., The Office (both versions), Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, House, Good Eats, Futurama, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, I liked Stella before a bunch of jerks cancelled it, same goes for Arrested Development and Studio 60: Sunset Strip.

Books:

I read a lot for school. Lately I am SO into Scott Pilgrim by Brian Lee O'Malley. Also: F. Scott Fitzgerald, David Sedaris, Oliver Sacks, Robin Hobb, Rick Geary, Alex Robinson (Box Office Poison), Craig Thompson, Raymond Feist, etc.
Blink by Malcom Gladwell was pretty good.

Heroes:

Donald Duck?

Birthday.

I am 26 now. My birthday was pure ass (not in a good way). It would've been a crappy day if it had just been a Monday, but it was my birthday, so it double-sucked. I am really tired of schoolwork now....

Awkward Name

I think it's time for us to change the name of our country. I think "The United States of America" is a ridiculous name for a country. It's awkward, it's too long, and it leaves absolutely nothing to ...

Bishop Allen, School Day Memories

I just read that Bishop Allen is coming to Albuquerque in one month. This is big. Shortwave Sweetheart (The Cherry Tempo? What the hell?) will be opening for them. That is some sweet music action. It'...

Sergio Aragonés

I remember someone telling me (years ago) that  Sergio Aragones had died. I don't remember who that was, but apparently, they were lying, since he is still producing lots and lots (and lots and l...

Beastie Boys - Body Movin'

Listening to Body Movin' by the Beastie Boys (the original, not the Fatboy Slim remix,) I am filled with a profound sense of satisfaction upon the realization that I own one of the same records they s...

Coaster-bike collection.

In addition to the space-hobo bike I got from Dave, I now have an old girl-frame coaster-bike that is now in working order. I also have a matching boy-frame, but the chain in too rusted, and it was qu...

Limitations of Blogging.

Although Myspace is pretty cool and all, I don't think it's all that good for actual dedicated blogging. It's sort of like how lots of people have phones with cameras in them, but you would have to be...

Catholic Cwestions.

There's a new pope. I guess he's even more conservative then the old pope. What's the definition of Catholic? Someone told me that the Greek Orthodox church is considered Catholic, but (obviously) not...
