The Winter of My Discontent

Total number of times people have assumed I'm gay since starting to write here: 8 and counting...

Name:
Location: Everett, Washington, United States

I am a dedicated futurist and a strong supporter of the transhumanist movement. For those who know what it means, I am usually described as a "Lawful Evil" with strong tendencies toward "Lawful Neutral." Any apparent tendencies toward the 'good' side of the spectrum can be explained by the phrase: "A rising tide lifts all boats."

Another distraction

I am, at the moment, doing anything but talking or thinking about my uncle.

The doctors have said that they don’t expect him to last more than 24-48 hours, since his liver is now in complete failure. The necessary arrangements are already being made.

I have come across a phenomenal song writer (via a recommendation from an old friend). His name is Jonathan Coulton and his songs run from the hilariously off-the-wall (“Skullcrusher Mountain” and “Re: Your Brains”) to the oddly insightful (“Flickr”) to the hopeful (“Millionaire Girlfriend”) to the serious and moving (“When you go”). Even better, you can listen to all of his songs for free from his website, and can even download certain select ones from him for free.

Personally, I’m quite fond of the off-the-wall ones. I’m still torn as to which of the two I listed above (“Skullcrusher Mountain” and “Re: Your Brains”) I like best. It’s a tough call.
