I'm just a bookish, speccy, chubby nerd, living, working, and trying to lose some weight in the far Northern hinterlands of California. Fundamentalist Christianity is the norm around here; nevertheless, for some reason, very few of my neighbors seem all that keen on making like Adam and Eve. I figure anybody who enjoys skinny-dipping, naked sunbathing etc. as much as I do might just be my kind of merry mugwump; hence this profile. Bonus points if you read music, play an instrument, or sing. ^_^ As me Irish forefathers (and me four Irish fathers) used to say, Slinte mhaith!

You, probably. (Also never meet your heroes.)

Books, music, sex, progressive politics, economics, philosophy, big ideas. Hobbies include swimming, biking, camping, hiking. I love good food and beer.

A little bit of everything. If you recommend it, I'll give it a listen.

In no particular order: The Princess Bride, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Mean Girls, The Lobster, Let the Right One In, The Exorcist, Michael Clayton, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Amadeus.
