About Me

To speak little is natural. High winds do not last all morning; heavy rains do not last all day. -from the Tao te Ching

My Interests

Generally, I like cats and books and eating fruit and making things out of paper and felt. I will always want to talk to you about space and archeology and the Universe and the meaning of life.

I'd like to meet:

Socrates. My grandpa and my biological mother. Someone that will teach me the proper usage of a semicolon!The guy that said this:"Science has never killed or persecuted a single person for doubting or denying its teaching, and most of these teachings have been true; but religion has murdered millions for doubting or denying her dogmas and most of these dogmas have been false."

Music:

Radiohead in May = yay! The Beatles are good for happiness anytime, and I can't imagine what I'll do without Songs to Grow Plants.

Movies:

The Abyss (will blow your mind), Iron Man was pretty good, The Dark Knight this summer, yeah!

Television:

NOVA, Bizarre Foods, Unbeatable Banzuke

Books:

my preferred mode of time/space transportation (currently reading Hermits by Peter France)

Heroes:

Carri Kasick, Dr. Bryan Dietrich, Dr. Richard Bartel, DVM.

disclaimer:
