I read a lot of books and listen to and play a lot of music and watch a lot of baseball and argue about politics a lot. I have a dog at my parents house in the Bay Area that I like a lot. I go to college at the University of Washington in Seattle. Seattle's alright. It rains a lot, if you haven't heard. I'm sort of a history and politics nerd. I was recently reading 3 books outside of all my assigned reading, and they were 13 Days by Bobby Kennedy, a book about the Presidential election of 1876, and Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell, a book about a history nerd. That says a lot about me. The last CD I bought was the new Frank Black album, which I like a lot. I'm not sure why people don't like Frank Black's solo stuff more. Sure, it's not the Pixies, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless. I saw Stephen Malkmus in concert last night. Boy that guy is incredible. Even with a mustache. Everyone has a mustache these days. Man Man started the movement. Pavement is my 2nd favorite band ever. My favorite band that currently exists is Wilco, but they're not my favorite band ever. I'm not a religious person, so I worship the San Francisco Giants. But they can be maddening sometimes, what with the Bonds worship, the idiotic owners, and a GM who really has no idea what he's doing. For baseball sanity, I turn to the Oakland A's. I grew up in and around Oakland, and lived in Piedmont for most of my life. After college, I want to move to DC and work in a congressional office and someday save the world. Except I'm a pessimist. Anyways. When I was a kid, I had blond hair, then it was brown, then purple, then blue, then green, and now it's brown again. I think that's all you need to know.
