Katie

I couldn't drink enough to make this make sense, but I think I'm gonna give it a try.

About Me

I read a lot. I listen to a lot of music. My tastes in all things are wide and varied.
I mildly dislike working, although my job at least does not suck.
I'm a spaceship of cynicism and I just broke the discontent barrier.

My Interests

Books, alcohol, ninjas, jigsaw puzzles, spirited political discussions, body modification, pirates, and rocking out.

I'd like to meet:

Tom Friedman because I can't believe the moustache is real. I just want to touch it.

Music:

I'm obsessed with Amandine, Antony and the Johnsons, and Gang of Four at the moment. And Segovia playing Bach sonatas.Find me on Soulseek under theeumenides.

Movies:

I adore Bogart movies, especially Bogart with Bacall. I also like samurai movies of all types and levels of quality. The last movie I fell in love with? Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

Television:

Television is for suckers. But if I were one, and had cable, I would watch news.

Books:

Currently: Marilynne Robinson, Paul Auster, Neal Stephenson.

Heroes:

Paul Krugman, Hunter S. Thompson, and the Tester/Webb superpower duo.

My Blog

SOTU

I have no immediate response to this, as my responses went from cries of "Bullshit!" through the spectrum of incoherence, finally settling on sullen sulking on the couch.Until I saw Mutumbo sitting ne...

a few questions

There's a bit of debate in the blogosphere about this, and I'm curious to know what my friends think.  The question is pretty simple:  Does the American govt have an obligation to care as mu...

From CNN.com:"Surely the United States is not the one being threatening," she said. "We are not the ones being meddlesome and troublesome in Iraq."Oh good gods.  I can't believe anyone actually s...

all I heard was blah blah blah bullshit blah

I've been wondering where the magical 21500 troops were going to come from.  Since there are only about 9000 available to send to Iraq.  I was assuming that the answer involved unicorns or m...
