About Me

Talk Add Block

My Interests

Love, aikido, and geeking.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting / crazy people, adventuresome sorts, insomniacs. Thinkers, tea drinkers, and people who think you should be polite even to enemies.

Music:

Icon of Coil, Ayria, The Azoic, Apoptygma Berzerk, DJ Tomcraft, Melotron, Royksopp, Zombiegirl, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Puretone, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Fisher, Tori Amos, Jenny Reynolds, Mike Rayburn, Madonna, Frente!, Sara McLachlan, AC/DC, Jim Croce, Enigma, and basically all the rest of it.

Television:

None! Why watch TV when there are so many other great things to do?

Books:

All of them, in particular: Cryptonomicon, Ender's Game, The Black Magician trilogy, the Riftwar Saga, Little Altars Everywhere, Greenmantle, the Lensman series, the Belgariad, the Honor Harrington series, The Forever Hero, and the Miles Vorkosigan series.

Heroes:

Einstein, every crazy inventor out there.

aikido

Looks like, after much discussion, I'll be able to resume very light aikido activity as soon as December. Now, can I actually afford it?

Right collarbone broken Friday, no aikido for me for 8-12 months. I'll be bored as hell now...

Food poisoning - Not Recommended

I just spent two days without even enough energy to read a book, and today all I could eat was jello, then noodles with chicken broth. I'd been looking forward to Xmortis all week, but there was no w...
