i would best describe my work ethic as… nonexistent. I received an excellent performance review, so I got drunk that night and didn't show up for work the next day. No one noticed.
things that make me really angry! I have not raised my voice in ten years & do not consider anger to exist in my emotional vocabulary. I suppose that duplicitous behavior amongst those I formerly trusted does not make me happy.
if i'm in front of the tv, i might be watching... I do not watch any appliance whose nickname is "The Idiot Box." On my computer monitor, I have been known to watch my complete archive of "Hogan's Heroes". Entertainment comes from the same Latin root as detain, I seek the Greek muse in amusement.
my favorite place in the whole world is… "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago" (Ecc 1:9-10 NIV=Satan's Bible)
things that turn me -off- include… Boringness. People who wear flip flops when they are not on the beach or in a bathing suit. Selfishness. Self-esteem. People that attempt to get me to dance or go to a kareoke bar being as how I am scientifically unable to clap to a beat or.
i'm currently reading... Recently read: Freakonomics by Stephen Levitt.
Recommend: House of Leaves and Infinite Jest.
my most recent disorder or neurosis... I'm attempting to wear all the clothes that I own at least once. I have many more shirts than I previously thought, and some of my clothes have actually accumulated dust.
i would describe the way i dress as… Determined by women I have dated in the past, gay men I work with, and the occasional uniquely offensive tshirt.
my superpowers are... An unnervingly accurate memory. My secret power supposedly is that I'm socially adept, but I don't believe it.

my turn ons are… I'm still trying to work out the kinks.
my musical tastes… Will not make sense: Squonk Opera, Amon Tobin, Chicks on Speed, EBN, Ladytron, Lemon Jelly, Miranda July, Mouse on Mars, Negativland.
My carefully selected mix CDs are legendary. The John Cage tribute CD has 17 contemporary covers of 4'33".
the worst (or best) lie i've ever told was... Lieberman's Law: Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens
Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur
when it comes to politics… APPD.de all the way. If that's not available, then recovering Republican, former labor union president, anarchist libertarian. No one else seems to share my almost consistent views.
when it comes to my digs (apartment, home, etc.)… My office has a train set, what more do you need?
