I now declare you rock and roll

About Me

I'm a college graduate hurtling towards 30, retarded in most ways except intellectually and literate in most ways except when it comes to popular music. I love the english language and its many subtleties, as well as cats and root beer. I wish I didn't smoke, but I'm glad I know what all the fuss was about.
Right now I'm traveling in Europe with friends. With any luck there'll be a job waiting for me when I return. Without any luck, I'll be playing a lot of video games and searching the classifieds when I return.

My Interests

This is a stupid question. I am interested in all these other things in my profile.

I'd like to meet:

People looking to exchange long emails about abolutely anything that crosses either of our minds. I probably can't set aside the time to chat, but I'd love to start corresponding.Or if you're looking to start a surf band and help me prove that the bald can rock out, that would also be most excellent. And stuff. Yeah.

Music:

Sleater-Kinney, Nirvana, Man or Astroman, the Pixies, Radiohead, the Muffs, the Pogues, the Groovie Ghoulies, Two Seconds, Neko Case, Death Cab for Cutie, the pillows, Neutral Milk Hotel, Reverend Horton Heat, Discount, the Handsome Family, the Distillers, the Detroit Cobras, the Decembrists, and bands starting with "the D...", I suppose. Surf, punk, rock. I maintain that I know almost nothing about popular music. Nothing.

Movies:

David Fincher, Alfred Hitchcock, Amelie, Lord of the Rings again, Repo Man, Coen Brothers, Kurosawa, Charlie Kaufman, Sergei Eisenstein, David Lynch, MST3K, New Asian Horror, etc. The usual.

Television:

I miss cable =( As it is I have to get South Park, Food Network, Daily Show, and Adult Swim on DVD or at other people's houses as the opportunity arises. Damn you, flaccid opportunity! Damn your eyes!

Books:

Hunter S. Thompson, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Molly Ivins, Edgar Allan Poe, Douglas Adams, Harry Harrison, His Dark Materials, Illuminatus!, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Alan Moore (esp Watchmen), Chuck Palahniuk, Jonathon Letham, William S. Burroughs, The Onion, Love Hina, Video Girl Ai, H.P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick, Penny Arcade, Something Positive, Megatokyo, Questionable Content, ad nauseum... I read. Am I coming out of some intellectual closet? 'cause I feel better.

Heroes:

I kill them if they don't kill themselves. Looking up just makes you feel small.

Something's Not Right Here

I just caught myself thinking "Man, this game is lame", and then thinking in response "Well of course it's lame, it's for little kids".   Does it really have to be like that?...

Quick Question

How many words can you think of whose letters appear in alphabetical order? For example: belt, ace, demo, tux, begin, most, first.
