About Me

I'm worth about $127. On paper, maybe $62.

My Interests

bicycles, novels, screenplays, movies, comic books, science, cryptozoology, cryptology (thanks for the suggestion, MySpace!), ladies' oversized sunglasses.

I'd like to meet:

World of Warcraft players who aren't 12 years old. Barring that, a scientist who can make me 12 years old.

Music:

Crystal Castles, ISIS, Unsane, edIT, Jose Gonzalez

Movies:

I seem to only like movies from the 80's. Not John Cusack comedies, sci-fi and horror movies.

Television:

Strangers With Candy, The Office

Books:

Dean Ornish's 'The Spectrum'. Although someone could have summarized the book in like two minutes of talking, it's still good. Tasty recipes. Yeah.

Heroes:

My dog Peaches, who is an excellent wrestler.

My Blog

Oh yeah, I got married.

I couldn't tell everyone I know, so if this is news to you, yep, I am married as of April 5th. Natalie (my then-girlfriend, also in case you didn't know) and I talked about it for a bit and then deci...

It’s terrible to know when you got sick

In this case I remember playing the demo Playstation 3 at Target, then mere moments later, eating delicious potato chips in the car. So delicious, in fact, that I was sucking the cheddar and chive po...

Dentist Pt. II

I had yet another dentist experience today, and this one was by far the most painful of my life. I’m certain my dentist had a previous and wildly successful career torturing political prisoners...

I think I have a problem with World of Warcraft.

In fact, the only reason that I have time to post this blog is because I accidentally fell off of Tedrassil, the tree of life, and I recently used my heartstone so I can't just teleport back to the in...

I’m going to start experimenting with drugs

Particularly cholesterol-lowering Simvastatin. If you're wondering what that is, it's simply "a lipid-lowering agent that is derived synthetically from a fermentation product of Aspergillus Terreus. ...

My dentist’s office sells Girl Scout cookies

What a brilliant (yet transparent) business scheme! Of course I purchased some.
