Why, hello.

p.s. Winter is coming.

Helping families plan their funerals and cemetery arrangements. I can probably get you a really good deal on a space for your body. What's that? You plan to be cremated? How ecologically-conscious of you. Our hellish fires are within every family's budget.

On a righteous quest to brew a beer that tastes like Sam Elliott's voice.

I write sci-fi and fantasy when I get a minute. (MFA here).

all things, for I AM the LORD.

I seem to have a lifelong case of seriousface. Don't be fooled!

Books: Larry Levis Wislawa Szymborska Rainer Maria Rilke Valzhyna Mort Bob Hicok Zbigniew Herbert J.R.R. Tolkien shelves and boxes are groaning. Ah lahk dem books. Master's was in poetry, if you can believe it.

Shows: Firefly Buffy Fringe True Blood Game of Thrones Louie 30 Rock Weeds Battlestar Galactica American Horror Story United States of Tara Simpsons Seinfeld Parks and Recreation That Mitchell and Webb Look

Music: I don't own an iPod or similar device. My sweetass '96 Camry has a radio that is perpetually on. 50s-70s American classics, blues and jazz when I can get it. Instrumentals from around the world. Joanna Newsom Joni Mitchell Franz Ferdinand Beatles

Good beer. Time alone to think. Company for the mind, whether that be from a person I care about or a book in hand.

Alternative energy. How to get food, medicine, clean water, and education to all the people that need it, and how to creatively disembowel anyone who doesn't think that's important.

not a basement-dweller, but on the quieter side of things. Pubs > clubs. Reading, scheming, writing, having a drink with friends, seein' a movie. Drop-everything-and-go-because-you'll-just-keep-making-excuses-if-you-don't trips.

The KFC Failure Pile in a Sadness Bowl is the food of the gods. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfan5MacmsI

you like to walk outside when the moon casts shadows.
