about me

some people want to know your birth chart, others want to talk sports. here’s a perfunctory outline of who i am by subject, so there’s something for everyone.

    ENFP.

  • What I’ve liked so far this year:

    • Mort by Terry Pratchett

    • [Essay] Concision: A Sprawl by George Estreich

  • Dr. Dolittle is one of he best movies of all time. There’s a scene where Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock are taking a road trip out to the country except Chris Rock is a hamster named Rodney and it just doesn’t get any better than that.

  • I watch every Packers game religiously. I don’t really care about football, I just have to do it. It’s ingrained into my Wisconsin-born DNA like those turtles who instinctively know when and how to return to the shore they came from.

    I was a synchronized swimmer for eight years.

    The first baseball game I went to was with a baseball fanatic ex of mine. He took me to a Cubs game at Wrigley. The game ended up going 21 innings. Graphically, my interest in the game would take the shape of a convex parabola: reaching a low around inning 10, but slowly climbing after we agreed he’d buy me a drink every extra inning I sat through.

  • Color: a nice sky blue.

    Food: any form of potato, particularly mashed potatoes.

    Movies: Uncle Buck, Beetlejuice, Mrs. Doubtfire, Dr. Dolittle.

  • Lived in Milwaukee, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and Portland.

    Travel-wise, Romania’s the best place I’ve been to thus far.

    I feel like this is enough info to steal my identity.
