I think I'm gonna sack the whole board of trustees.

About Me

Here's my site: nosila

This is the band:
voodoo economics

Here's me at last.fm:
scrobble with me. oh, yes.

A haiku written by an interweb soulmate at sarcasmsociety.com:
I just saw Coldplay
It was so emotional
I'm changed forever

This scene changed my life:

My Interests

I like blinking lights (as long as they don't blink too fast), things with knobs, furry stuff, anything with "keys," matte black things, and other things as well. And things that may or may not be things. And the word "Brobdingnagian."

I'd like to meet:

Ethel Smith:

This little guy here. Oooh...careful! Don't squeeze!!!

the person who draws xkcd

Music:



Television:

jack bauer. (piece of advice, gentlemen: either whisper, shout, or somehow manage to do both at once. anything in between is just unmanly.)

Books:

a quick smattering:

famous authors who wrote lots of good shit: zola, borges, sorrentino, dick (philip k. ok?), solzhenitsyn, sedaris, carroll, orwell, kierkegaard, huxley, mann, nietzsche (heard it doesn't rhyme with peachy. not at all.), zora neale hurston (too cool a name not to type the whole thing), ovid, derrida, frank herbert, sartre, heidegger, philip roth, merleau-ponty, tolkien

comic types: berke breathed (bloom county), bill watterson (calvin and hobbes), neil gaiman (sandman, etc.)

music writer-types: schoenberg, david lidov, nattiez, chuck klosterman, momigny, john cage, some article-writing academics.

Heroes:

this was not my idea, though i wish it was.
read this if you're nerd enough to be enthralled:
the return of hobbes

"There is a day of reckoning" or "Theres gonna be reckunings, Ma"

I have come to loathe the word+contraction "there's." It's misused all the time: "There's fifty reasons why I won't use it."No. There is not fifty reasons. There are fifty reasons.And even if it's not...

My milk says "From Real Cows!" on it. I guess that means it's not from them genetically-engineered headless cows. Or from big plaster of paris cows. Phew.It also says "Naturally Delicious!" Maybe ther...

the number one excuse for being an immoral prick

I'm so tired of people blaming alcohol for their inherent stupidities. "Ooooh....I didn't really want to fuck that 16 year old...it was Jack Daniels! He maaaade me do it!" "Ahhhhh, I don't really hate...

Chomsky could very well have a field day.

Did I sign up for something?

Cause all of a sudden I'm getting about 20 friend requests/messages an hour from random, random people. Not even bands, just random people. I'm positive that I'm not that cool, so what the fuck? Anybo...

a snip-snip-snippet for the japanese prime minister

This was in the Washington Post. I did not make this shit up."I think the Japanese people are going to like the taste of U.S. beef," Bush said of the agreement that gives the U.S. access to a lucrativ...

someone mentions the word "pedophilia." Some crazy kooks in the Netherlands are trying to launch a political party in order to cater to the interests of pedophiles. They want to change the age of cons...

This may or may not be interesting.

Nature tends to provide boy animals (particularly birds, for some reason. i'm sure there's a paper in that.) with powerfully attractive characteristics. Mallard ducks, peacocks, bluejays, betas, etc. ...
