I like to make things. Anything, really. Boxes, tables, bookcases, tools, trebuchets, replicas of Henry Thoreau's cabin, houses for Habitat for Humanity, etc.
I like to cook things. Steak and ale pie, spaghetti Bolognaise, polpettine Napoletane, melanzane fritte con aceto tradizionale, gnocchi verdi con cadutta di formaggio, etc. (I also like to say the names of foods in Italian.)
I like to read things. Books, newspapers, woodworking magazines, signs, instructions (I especially like to try to figure out the instructions in Spanish).
I like pictures. I like to take pictures. I like to look at pictures. I like to watch motion pictures. I like to look at naked pictures of hot guys. Pictures are good.
I like to smash things.
Sammy Davis Junior Junior died, so I got this lovely magenta tiger, whose full name is Oliver Lord Crumblewaithe of Penstonbrookeshire, but I couldn't put all that in the little box. You can refer to him as "His Lordship" for short.

Always remember: Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. Well, not necessarily, but sometimes, to a certain extent.
Also: The judgment and sagacity of Erasmus will not be questioned.

I'm the proud owner of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Sedan, model 2403. 254,331 were produced. It was originally sold for $2390 and weighs 3272 pounds. It has a 283 cubic inch V-8 engine with a bore and stroke of 3-7/8 x 3 inches, and a compression ratio of 8.5:1, with which it can develop 185 horsepower at 4600 RPM. It is one of 410,097 1957 model Chevy V-8 engines that was equipped with a 4-barrel carburettor.
And now, here's the FUCK YOU list. It is a list (but by no means a complete list) of people (or organisations) to whom (or which) I wish to say FUCK YOU. Now, if you read all the names, you might think it was all a bunch of right-wing assholes, and youd be pretty much right, but I want to make sure you know that the list includes Democrats as well as Republicans, Jews and Muslims as well as Christians, and one gay person (the only out queer on the list) as well as all the allegedly straight people coughKen Mehlmancough.

Hey there, what's happening? how's your summer going? hope you're digging the beautiful weather - we've been grilling out because it's so nice here in Minneapolis!
We just released a new album Live at the Cabooze recorded in October 08 in Minneapolis, MN. You can get it on iTunes. Also, check out our Ts and stickers on our online Merch Store and help support us independent musicians! We're always on the road so if we're not coming to your city soon let us know and we will! (no seriously) Peace and love,
There's a tag game going around, and it got me, so now I'm tagging you. Tag. You're it. Haha, I got you. Now you've gotta write 10 weird things about you. Go to my blog to see what I mean.
