Procrastination

May 1st, 2006 Chris Posted in Uncategorized |

• Accent: Unremarkablly midwestern. I refuse to develop a southern drawl (y’all).
• Booze: If I’m drinking hard liquor, I’ll take whiskey. I drink lots of different beer, but you’ll typically find me drinking Guinness, Shiner Bock, or Budweiser, depending on how flush I am. Sadly, I can’t get my favorite, Boulevard Wheat, down here in Houston.
• Chore I Hate: Laundry. I can’t seem to make a dent in that large pile of clothes.
• Dog or Cat: Neither. A dog is quite possibly in my (not so near) future.
• Essential Electronics: Computer + internet access. Don’t really need much more.
• Favorite Cologne: I don’t wear cologne much.
• Gold or Silver: Silver
• Hometown: St. Louis, MO
• Insomnia: Once a week or so. Thanks to a flexible work schedule, I keep weird sleep hours, and if I sleep in, it means that I’m not ready for bed until 3 am or so. The cycle gets vicious pretty quickly. I’m trying to work on that. . .
• Job Title: Indentured servant (Grad student)
• Kids: No. I try to act like one as much as possible, though. This means lots of juice boxes and naps.
• Living arrangements: Small apartment
• Most admirable traits: Intelligence, easy-going-ness, ability to spot holes in your arguments from a mile away.
• Not going to cop to: The noodle incident
• Overnight hospital stays: When I was born, I suppose.
• Phobias: No irrational fears. Just the everyday, run of the mill stuff like peak oil, overpopulation, unsustainable growth, etc.
• Quote: “Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, “Yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down, down. Amen!” If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it.” — Dan Barker
• Religion: Recovering Catholic
• Siblings: One younger brother, who plays in a band
• Time I wake up: 9:30 or so. Like I said, my schedule’s flexible, so I generally come in late and stay late.
• Unusual talent or skill: Mad kung-fu skillz.
• Vegetable I love: Terri Schiavo. (tasteless?)
• Worst habit: Procrastination
• X-rays: Just teeth
• Yummy foods I make: Chicken pasta, chili mac, and I work a mean grill.
• Zodiac sign: Scorpio. Does anyone seriously think these matter? I think astrologers and anyone else who pimps this kind of bullshit should die in a fire. I think the people who are dumb enough to believe it should suffer the same fate. (I suppose that would also solve our overpopulation problem, right?)
