here is where i try and pretend that i read something other
than<br />
sci-fi, right? i'm kidding, but only just barely. i really like
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=alastair+reynolds">alastair
reynolds</a>, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=vernor+vinge">vernor vinge</a>, and <a class="ilink"
href="/interests?i=neal+stephenson">neal stephenson</a>. as for
non-fiction, <a class="ilink" href=

diamond was good, and i enjoy <a class="ilink" href=

some of my favorite movies are <a class="ilink" href=

"/interests?i=eternal%0asunshine+of+the+spotless+mind">eternal

"/interests?i=wall-e">wall-e</a>, and <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=the%0aprestige">the prestige</a>. i recently enjoyed
inception very much, but want to let it settle before i commit it
one of my all-time favorites. tv is probably my favorite medium,
and i'm a very big fan of <a class="ilink" href=

unfortunately, here is where i'm going to out myself as someone so
divergent from the norm that you might stop reading. i don't really
listen to music. i don't know why, probably something wrong with my
brain but i just don't. it's not really a part of the fabric of my
life, and i suspect it just doesn't have the same impact on me as
it does with other people. the only music that i've ever listened
to other than as a token effort was that of <a class="ilink" href=

food's good stuff. indian food especially. cooking and eating with
friends is one of my favorite things in the world.
