About Me

I read too much, i dont write enough. I will likely be sporadic at best. I am addicted to the best(and worst) popular culture has to offer. So help me god, i will do my best not to sound retarded. Recently(a year ago, so i guess not so recently) fled smalltown ontario for the hustle and flow of the westcoast(time is divided evenly between Vancouver and Portland,Oregon, land of pretty ladies and no sales tax. Weird stripclubs,too) I never know how much to put in these things. feels like i'm constantly overcompensating...

My Interests

Music:

This is probably the hardest thing i'll write on this thing....so much music,so little space. I like a little bit of everything. From ridiculous speed-metal(slayer) to classical(stravinsky, zappa(he counts!)) and back. The last record I bought was Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, but i recently acquired copies of Django Barnes's Winter Truce, Homes Burning(amazing fucking record. Seriously, the most insane music i've heard since the first time i heard Mr. Bungle six years ago) and the Dresden Dolls Yes, Virginia and the Firey Furnaces' Bitter Tea. Neither of those is due out til next month. Thank you, intarweb

havent done one of these in freakin' forever

but this seems to be the best way to get out some stuff that I want other people (a couple very specific people) to hear without having to have some sort of Dr. Phil-esque intervention bad scene which...

A revoloution without dancing is not a revoloution worth having

dude. V for Vendetta is, like, the most important film i've seen this year. I totally understand why Alan Moore took his name off of it, but that does not make it unbrilliant. It was worth coming home...
