About me

i watch quarterlife (the show). i love it. i identify with exactly every character always (except danny and vanessa, who are assholes). how is it that they are all the same as me at all times?

i am a musician who was once also a teacher and is now loafing. i spend some time playing the guitar; more playing along with songs and trying to figure out how to sing than actually writing material.

i hold a mild interest in writing. i have been fascinated by the works of aaron sorkin (most of which is about writers trying to write), tina fey, and steve martin. i hope to take a try at this one day. i should get a humanities degree first, i suppose.

i play poker as a mental exercise to keep myself sharp in the ways of strategy, observation, patience, wit, strength, and deceit. i hold a respect and a love for the game, and i express that respect and love by spending hours and money at it.

i believe that i should create.

Interests

music

,i play the trumpet well,the guitar adequately,and the piano poorly.

i listen to indie rock,radio hits,and an ever increasing amount of hip-hop.

,

reading

,i enjoy reading the new yorker for its content on current events,its cartoons,its film reviews,and occasionally its fiction. it reminds me of my old academic days.

i must admit to also spending time reading dry,mathematical texts to augment my skill at poker. theoretical arguments and hypothetical game theory exercises fascinate me.,

films

,mostly indie dramedy-types - before sunrise,rushmore,the american president,once,meeting people is easy...,

Commencing with longest text comment ever.......*BEEP!*

holy crap you guys are cute. it's kind of gross.... haha j/k...

And I accept your challenge Brian. I love fireworks and I love to talk about them! My favourite fireworks are the ones that look like weeping willows when they burst and the embers fall like willow branches. I also like the really loud ones. This year we watched fireworks over the lake and since we were a ways off from the actual place they were shooting we heard the boom after we saw the explosion. I was calling all the sounds that were coming...haha I am kind of a pyro (or pyromaniac for he who does not like shortened words...hehe) so I have a not so slight obsession with fireworks and in ND there are few regulations on them (compared to everywhere else) so I was blowing things up at a pretty young age. We used to build things just to blow them up..haha I miss that.... ANYWAYS.... Art Garfunkle (sp?) is great.... and on another musical note... (oh yes I too can be punny!) Have you listened to those songs yet? I bet you didn't so I am reminding you. "Velouria" first the original (The Pixies) and then the cover (The Bad Plus). Do it. Oh yeah and (as if you hadn't noticed) I have not fixed my computer yet so I think I might be leaving the longest text comment ever! Jeez! I don't really do this for anyone else, but I had to comment on this after the challenge of course!! I will look into yours and Franchise's song business but honestly I think my take on it is pretty awesome. If I ever get a new chord for the pc i will try to record it somehow. Or maybe I will make Ben teach me how to record things downstairs and really go to town.... I don't know how anything works in his practice space but I do know there is a p.a. and some recording stuff down there... hrrmmm... is this the longest text comment yet? I'm not so sure... I think maybe it might be! I hope your 4th was awesome and I will not be forgetting your birthday either. You should send me your email so I can at least send you an ecard or something! (-<)&<3 nicole. Ok well longest text comment terminate. *BEEP!*

"I Think I'll Go To BOSTON..."

Jun 06, 2008

i will be making my next trip to boston THIS WEEKEND, june 7th, 8th, and 9th, for my third date with miss _re. it is the result of a surprise scheduling coincidence... i happen to have an unusual off-saturday, and i happened to win the required $155 train fare in a poker game last week (i pretty much kicked major poker @ss)!

i am not able to view anybody's video comments, or my own videos for that matter, so please leave only texts for me for a while. i will let you know when it is safe to leave videos again (i miss you guys!)

also, i have been working on a cleaned-up audio version of "coffee." i am nowhere near finished yet, but look for it to be posted by the end of next week (hopefully before father's day).

i'll talk to you from boston!
