About Me

Pics from some time ago...

My Interests

sidewalk dancing, groovin' to the tunes, giving people new names, wasting my precious life under the fluorescent din of lab lights, reprising the Society for Putting Things on top of Other Things, being away from civilization, dirtworshiping and treehugging Click Here to Add Jim to your Own Myspace

I'd like to meet:

Bigfoot (now only the mythical creature in the woods... I met the truck)And this bird... My pirate name is: Captain Jack Bonney Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr! Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.

Music:

Phish, Wilco, MMW, Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, RL Burnside, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Ween, YLT... most anything that's either partially improvised or otherwise a one-time only perfomance... surprises keep me interested.

Movies:

Eternal Sunshine, Y tu Mama tambien, old samurai movies, the Indiana Jones stuff, anything with the Muppets, the original Sherlock Holmes series, Logan's Run, Night of the Lepus, Princess Bride, Monty Python, Eddie Izzard, Hedwig and the Agry Inch (although the live version is more entertaining)... it's kind of hit or miss as to what I like. I'm always up for recomendations though.

Television:

I'm more pbs

Books:

anything by Kurt Vonnegut, the Hitchhiker's Guide Series, Audubon or Sibley's field guides, gardening books, color by number, Jimmy Buffett, most anything that's been banned

Heroes:

Jane Goodall

A winter kind of mood

So I had my first true winter outing complete with snowshoes and frost and crunchy snow and moose. It was good. I'm going to do it again. Hopefully soon. There's talk of skis being used next time....

Science explains it all

Thanks to the intrepid researchers at Manchester University for putting this very abstract theory into plain, everyday mathematical terms.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/ 4468884....
