Twitter: @Calavphin Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/calavphin .. Generally being a sarcastic smartass, writing, jackassery (yes its a word, no you can't look it up) paintball, (frankly anything combat related) acting, theatre techery (I can build an entire set out of gafftape and broken dreams) singing, being a sarcastic smartass, artistry (see: drawing, painting, photography, cinematography, etc...)
Proof of the aformentioned "singing" has been demanded. Therefore I submit for your aural bemusement;

(No, Myspace didn't like my HTML tag so you get to copy/paste, lucky you.)
Yes, I know I start on the wrong note. I'm a bass naturally and I'm attempting to sing a bari/tenor part. You'll notice the lower it goes, the stronger I am.
At some point I'll make a more concerted attempt in my normal range when I'm not being distracted by something shiny.
My new Rebel EOS is love.
As an offshoot of the photography thing, I also do a bit of digital photo editing. I'm the savior of ill-kept photos from the 20's.
And I take the best screenshots you've ever seen. No, I'm serious, some of them are just gorgeous.
Yes, that was intended to sound as geeky as it did.
I think I have a deep seated urge to be Clopin.
I've been known to hustle pool on occasion.
I'm more than prepared for the zombie apocalypse.
My local costume mistress used to call me the "costume nazi".
I really liked her.
I'm an excellent road-tripper with 2 cross country treks under my belt as well as other assorted ventures.
Have you ever had to cut a steel belted radial wrapped around the rear axle of a van off while on the shoulder of a highway in Minnesota with a pair of incredibly dinky dikes?
Didn't think so
I'm a vicious pen and paper RPG player and will gladly throw an innocent villager (hopefully a small child) to a hungry monster if it gives me even the slightest chance at a possible escape.
Lucky for me the people I play with are just as horrible in this area as I.
...
...you know, this list goes on for a while so if you have something specific you want to know about how about you just ask.
Music
My musical tastes are WAY too broad to attempt to list here. Pretty much, if it isn't rap or country, I'll probably like it. I mean I'm a straight man who likes showtunes for fuck's sake.
I have a self-professed, unhealthy relationship with Daft Punk.
I would have their babies.
And that's saying a lot.
I lack child-bearing hips as well as the other required equipment.
Movies
Movies, eh, I've been sadly disappointed lately.
A few standouts?
Well, the classics of the 80's and early 90's (pretty much anything with Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Bill Murray, etc...) The usual geek fodder (if you don't know what this means, don't bother, we won't get along.)
Most of the films from the Disney Renaissance.
I'm also a bit Newsies obsessed and ran around with girlish glee when I found out Disney is FINALLY releasing the rights for it to be staged theatrically.
Oh, and Dark Knight was extremely well done, not perfect, but leaps and bounds beyond the general level of slop lately. It a terrible shame that we lost Ledger just as he was really coming into his own. Benjamin Button wasn't bad either but it could have used a slightly more vengeful editor.
About 40 minutes more vengeful.
I'd be much more positive about recent films if I hadn't previously been a theater projectionist. I got too used to watching movies with only my other theater brethren, allowing me to enjoy the nuance of excellent film or MST3King it mercilessly if it was not. (I saw "House of the Dead" in this manner, my fellow projectionists and I died inside that night)
Sadly, this has resulted in an incredibly low tolerance for bad audience behavior. My rage against a bad audience member is endless.
This has hurt my overall theatrical experience as of late.
Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich, I hope you both die in an unexplainable fire at the bottom of a well filled with piranha during a meteor impact...
...And Joel Schumacher is straped to the meteor.Television
Family Guy, Mr. Show, The Daily Show, Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis), Fullmetal Alchemist, Firefly (Fox is/was staffed by idiots), MST3K (11 seasons and canceled without a second thought, there's no fucking love man), Airwolf (80's forever baby), Good Eats (Alton Brown is a god)Books
I last reread "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara. Other authors include Brian Greene, Michio Kaku, HG Wells, Ayn Rand, George Orwell, Doyle, Verne, Dickens (I had a really classical lit upbringing). I'd love to say that I include Melville and Dostoevsky in that list but both completely put me to sleep, Dostoevsky in particular. The pulp classics of HP Lovecraft are favorites of mine too though I'm occasionally shunned by my friends because I like August Derleth too.
Damn purists
Oh, and Hitchhikers, of course.
Though the people that refer to it as a trilogy drive me nuts.
Honestly, I should read more, it's pretty sad.

About me:
I consider myself an intellectual.This has recently been disputed by the tiny Calvin-esque guys that run my brain who actually put together a 392 page internal investigation report that concluded that I am, in fact, not an intellectual.
Fortunately they were taken out on to my left shoulder in the middle of the night and shot for their treason.
So the intellectual thing stands for the moment.
Otherwise I'm artsy, occasionally well-read (though I've been sadly slacking in this area), gruff-on-the-outside-softy-on-the-inside, off kilter oddball.
Not like Hannibal Lecter, padded-room, canvas/leather fashion statement sort of oddball. More of the "this is horrible and offensive so allow me to unleash it on some unsuspecting, stuck-up, myopic idiot and watch their gray-matter fry."
I refer to this as "Unilateral Synaptic Burnout" (I kinda visualize all the synapses in someones brain triggering at the same moment, a flash of light from the eyes, nose, and ears, and whisps of smoke from the same as they fall to the ground)
As you can tell, I also like hyphens and subtext.
Feel free to ask pretty much anything, I don't judge.
Well, at least not to your face anyway.
Who I'd like to meet:
You can answer “yes” to at least 3 of the following statements;-Sitting in front of Starbucks and making fun of people is an excellent way to spend an afternoon
-You love MST3K
-You are the Doctor
-You think that sending humorous ransom notes to Blizzard demanding a job was a good idea.
-You know who both Tim Rice and Alan Menken are and appreciate their genius.
-You think most of the really creative video game companies were gone by 2001
-You know what gafftape is and are a lifetime member of it's fan club.
-You've been known to sing along with “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles.
-You treat service employees with kindness and respect.
-You tip well when it is appropriate.
-Your local Baristas know your name/your regular order.
-GameStop's constant nagging for reserves annoys you.
-You're prepared for the Zombie apocalypse
-You can use contractions properly the majority of the time.
-You get the vast majority of jokes on both Family Guy and Robot Chicken.
-You use turn signals.
-Rum makes you speak like a pirate
-Whiskey makes you speak like you're Irish
-You ride the same theme park ride multiple times on the same trip.
-You can find the humor in a burning orphanage.
-You find the Muppets entertaining
Oh, and I'd like to meet Alton Brown, but then, who wouldn't?
