About Me

I made a deal with the powers and now I am alone. What can you do with that save come to terms with it?

Still, you could get my back once in awhile.

My Interests

Theatre, art, photography, music, history, religion, biology, sociology, reading, writing, sloth, procrastination, daydreaming, uselessness.

I'd like to meet:

The meetable many.

Music:

If you like new country, I don't understand you already. Lately, I enjoy: Madeline Peyroux and Norah Jones, Barenaked Ladies, the Decemberists, Tom Waits, Lorenna McKinnitt, Jack Johnson, Bob Dylan, John Lennon (and the Beatles), Jill Sobule, Todd Snider, and plenty of others not mentioned herein.

Movies:

I love escapsim. I don't like romantic comedies.

Television:

I have been robbed of my cable, but still spend too much time sitting on the couch looking at my glowing happy box.

Books:

Reading is good for you and for me. I like nonfiction, mostly, but also Russian novelists and Chuck Palahniuk, which I can't pronounce. Hindu mystic, Persian, and the Romantic poets make me happy, and letters written by long dead famous people make me happy, too. Victorian fiction is yummy as well.

Heroes:

Villians, or anyone well rounded enough to be complicated.

My Blog

Hm.

Funny. I guess I feel about the same today.

Childish me.

I think it would maybe be a nice idea if I didn't exist anymore.

As you may know.

i haven't been on for a helluva long time, dear reader, and I don't think I'm exaggerating terribly when I say that it's been a horrible thing that's happened to me. This absurd, no computer thing. ...

Gainful non-employment.

I have an answer to why my calls have been dodged: I didn't get the job (no, please, don't bother saying it to my face). And why? Because it would have worked out too well. I could have w...
