My Notes edit

My self-summary

We will get along well if you like waffles, graduate students, science, math, and/or adventure. We will not get along well if you use "LOL" as a spoken phrase. A good friend once called me an "international man of mystery," until it was pointed out I am not all that mysterious. I suppose that simply makes me an international man.

I am (mostly) from Seattle which means (i) I'm politically left leaning and (ii) enjoy coffee shops. I'm also a graduate student, which means I like to cook whenever I need to procrastinate (which is all the time). I suppose it also means I have a healthy stock of mechanical pencils.

What I'm doing with my life

My life's ambition is to wear a lab coat. I was a high school teacher for a time, and later got to work on both shark biology and marine mammal ecology in graduate school. I'm currently pretending to be an archaeologist (particularly studying how it can help ecology). I figure I'm living the dreams of at least half a dozen kids. Still no lab coat however.

I'm really good at

Assembling IKEA furniture.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me

An astonishing number of people rub the top of my head.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

What Imelda Marcos was to shoes, I am to books (although without the acquisition through massive fraud). What I spend most of my time reading is academic missives. Fortunately, I enjoy what I study, so it is also primarily what I read for fun. Outside of that genera, I enjoy philosophy, history, and am never far from my copy of Strunk and White.

I don't have a TV. If I had a TV it would be tuned to the British Comedy Channel. If there is no British Comedy Channel, then there is nothing good on. Except the Daily Show.

Life should have a soundtrack. Ideally it should be done by Harry Belafonte.

I am currently exploring the restaurants in my neighborhood. I have not been disappointed; there is even a wide range of vegetarian options. Cooking is what I do to relax, however, so as school gets more intense I start experimenting in the kitchen.

The six things I could never do without

1. A good pair of shoes--they'll take you anywhere
2. Puns or wordplay. Admittedly it is more of a sickness, but if I am not making puns I'm not talking and I doubt that could last very long.
3. Paper and pencils--because sometimes you have to work it out on paper. (Bonus if it is graph paper.)
4. A purpose to what I am doing--if it isn't doing someone some good, I will rapidly lose interest.
5. A quarter note--where would we be without quarter notes?
6. Enough perspective to laugh at myself.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Anything shiny in my field of vision.

On a typical Friday night I am

"Planning, plotting, and possibly scheming."

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here

I nearly caught my kitchen on fire trying to make croissants. True, it is not all that private, but what sort of thing could be reasonably considered private if you post it to a public website next to your picture?

You should message me if

You have been captured by pirates who have locked you in a small cabin on their ship with naught but crust of bread and high speed internet connection.

Oh, if you woo me, I will read your profile and respond with a clerihew just for you. The woo is somewhat ambiguous in meaning; it is an invitation for interpretation. Thus, for me, the woo is a request for a personalized clerihew.

Special note to people far away, feel free to write. There are unique people everywhere and I always am interested to hear from people in other parts of the country or world (there's one guy who is not unique, I think he lives in Wisconsin, but everyone else is unique). As a student I don't get to travel as much as I would like. Messages from distant places are the poor man's holiday, I guess.
