I spend a lot of time arguing with philosophers; the rest of the
time I’m not much interested in arguing or being very serious. I
like music. A lot. I’m also a vegetarian and eat a dangerous amount
of Tofurky products.

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
I’m a professor of philosophy. I moved here from Austin (where I
got my Ph.D. in May 2007) to start teaching at UIUC. Before that,
Boulder. Before that, Massachussets. Before that, the San Fernando
Valley. I teach two classes a semester, and I’ve got five years of
chasing tenure ahead of me, which means lots of writing, lots of
running around to conferences, lots of sending papers off to
journals, and lots of caffeine. Delicious, delicious caffeine...
I'm really good at
Philosophy, making friends with animals (esp. dogs), memorizing
song lyrics, and putting things in alphabetical order.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Music (absolute top favorites): The Band, Tom Waits, Ryan Adams,
Little Feat, the Drive By Truckers, the Staples Singers, Bob Dylan,
The Beatles, George Jones, the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Neko
Case, Jenny Lewis, Grant Lee Phillips, the Kinks, Paul Simon, Steve
Earle, Janis Joplin, Townes van Zandt, Nick Drake, Neutral Milk
Hotel, Jefferson Airplane, Skip Spence, Joe Cocker, Grateful Dead,
the Byrds, Louden Wainwright III, Pink Floyd, Gram Parsons, Elton
John.
Books etc.: anything by Vonnegut, Kafka, 'Portnoy’s Complaint' by Philip Roth, Baudelaire, T.S. Eliot's 'The Wasteland', 'Zorba the Greek', 'No Exit' by Sartre.
Movies: Big Lebowski, the Royal Tenenbaums, I Heart Huckabees, Bringing Out the Dead, American Beauty, the Anchorman, Payback, Fight Club

I spend a lot of time thinking about
whether to get a basset hound.
On a typical Friday night I am
Downtown Champaign. Or sometimes at the Canopy Club whenever
someone worth seeing is passing through town. Or sometimes holed up
like the only-child recluse I am, watching Netflix, and reading
philosophy and online gossip sites.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I was once tricked into admitting that I like Michael Bolton. I
didn't realize it was Michael Bolton.
You should message me if
You're cool. Or dorky.
