It might be a delusion caused by too much gin and vermouth, but I consider myself a likable fellow: fair-minded, undemanding, and slow to take offense. I don’t ooze the milk of human kindness, yet I do my best to be inviting and friendly, and I never grudge a favor or two. Words used to describe me include: “intelligent,” “clever”, and “observant." Other, less kind words have also been used to describe me, but I decline to list those. I’ve lived my life within the law, and my conscience is clear.

Currently, I’m taking graduate classes in philosophy (and linguistics). The hope—God willing!—is to get a PhD and become a professor of philosophy. My principal interests are in philosophy of language, epistemology, and mind.

I'm good at nerdy academic stuff, though it seems I’m best at procrastination, because I appear to spend the bulk of my time doing that.

That’d be my eyes--my big baby blues.

When not reading academic articles, I mostly read fiction, classic to contemporary, arty to trashy. Favorite authors include: Joseph Conrad, William Faulkner, Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, and Raymond Chandler. My genre fiction of choice is crime and mystery.

I've watched A LOT of movies in my day, again classic to contemporary, arty to trashy. Favorite directors include: Hitchcock, Altman, Kieslowski, Argento, and Ozu. I have a real weakness for horror movies, no matter how crappy.

Currently running shows I watch include: The Colbert Report, 30 Rock, Bob's Burgers, Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Peep Show and one or two more.

I confess that I don't listen to music that much these days, though when I do I favor singer-songwriters (esp. Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits), blues, and jazz.

Probably watching a movie, sometimes with a friend. Hence, the on-line dating.

Well, I once underwent surgery on me bollocks. That's pretty private.

It strikes your fancy.
