I'm a comedian with unhealthy amounts of intellectual curiosity. I have a very wide field of knowledge with very shallow depth. I love taking the opportunity to dig deeper, though; there are just lots of dig sites at this stage.

There's a day job in here somewhere, but I try not to think too much about it. It's boring. I'm working in the paycheck mines so I can put back some money to further a career in comedy performance and writing.

These days, I'm mostly occupied with producing/performing in a live late night comedy talk show. I've been doing standup, sketch writing, and worked on a weird little radio show on KJHK, but this project has been awesome, and it constantly driving me to get to where I can do this sort of thing all the time.

Walking in another persons' shoes, accidentally making the occasional mildly inappropriate joke because the timing was just so right and I couldn't resist, destroying all comers in strategic board games, thinking.

I don't know, that's none of my business really. I don't think about this topic very much.

oh MAN this changes a lot because I like a lot of things!

I enjoy reading science/speculative fiction that explores an aspect of society or is just mindbending in general.

I'm musically unbound, and can't really point to a genre I enjoy. Lately, it's been a lot of They Might Be Giants, Röyksopp, and Daft Punk. Typically I like music that speaks to a certain anxiety- TMBG (Linnell's songs especially) appeals to me for this reason.

Also the salsa music soundtrack to Tropico 4 has been in my car all week. Because it's incredible.

I used to think there were actually six things- six items or objects or types of objects, or even concepts, principals- that I could never do without. After losing someone very close to me irrevocably, I've learned there's nothing I couldn't adapt to. So. Aside from the things I literally need to function as a human being, there is nothing that anchors me to the point where I could not do without it, or where it would cause me immense personal crisis. There are always six new things.

But figuratively? Internets, coffee, sturdy/comfy shoes, public performance, that part of the year full of sunny days and almost-chilly-but-not-quite evenings, enduring friendship.

I spend a lot of time thinking about why I think about the things I think about- it's kind of a problem. I spend a lot of time thinking.

Okay so- I know what aglets are, and (especially post-internet) it's pretty much become one of those 'DID YOU KNOW THAT X IS CALLED Y?' words that most people know because tons of people got asktold 'HEY DID YOU KNOW THOSE TIPS ON THE ENDS OF THE SHOELACES ARE CALLED AGLETS?' and I guess what I'm wondering is if there's a word for other words that fit that phenomenon.

I think we should call them 'aglets'.

I'm not a person that has a whole lot of these; I'm not really easily embarrassed and don't harbor any DEEP SECRETS. So. If you're attracted to DEEP SECRETS, I guess you could just pretend I have them and this is just a smokescreen?

But yeah to actually answer the question, I thought 'ass' meant 'penis' until I was 12 or so. Also I thought women had penises but they were much smaller. Turns out I was sort of right.

you want to talk about ideas, huge or small
