Another Interview (podcast this time)
Jul. 18th, 2011 09:51 amSo, last week I was interviewed for a podcast by a guy who writes a blog on games. Oh God, there's almost an hour of it.

I really, really hate my voice on the air - do I really sound like that IRL? I sound like something's pinching me inside. The cordless phone I was using died midway through the interview, as if it had killed itself rather than listen to me anymore.

Feast of the Jellied Limb, part VIII
Dec. 8th, 2006 04:41 pmEight years ago today, a car ran over me.
This year I think I began to really understand I will never be free of what that did to me, and what it set in motion.
So, as every year, tonight I will sacrifice an orange to Pedwok, the God of Pedestrians, in the crosswalk where I got hit.
[EDIT: I threw the orange into the air, and it landed and rolled all the way to the other curb, instead of staying put in the middle of the street. Was this a sign of a good year to come, or of the strong self-preservation instincts of tree fruits?]

ilna's command, I offer the following:
Start off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. At the end you need to choose six people to be tagged and list their names. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. No tagbacks!
Yes, she is right, I do like certain memes but I don't tag other folks. So please, do this on your own if you like.
Now, in no particular order (and you may know some of this already):

My name is not so common, but there are a few of me out there, as I found from Googling myself:
Brian Train, chair of Allied Farmers in New Zealand, who retired in fall 2005 after 50 years of farming.
I've also found a college boy in Pennsylvania who swims a lot, a fellow who was past president of a football club in Burton, Leeds, UK, and a used car dealer in St. Johns, New Brunswick.

Yes, It IS all about me.
Nov. 5th, 2003 10:22 pmI got home just a little while ago. Been writing and talking about myself all day. Me, me, me, and what it took to become me. Or one of my mes.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm sick of me. Until tomorrow, at any rate.
Howzaboutchoo? YadoinOK? Freshnyadrink? Havacrackuh, whuddya whuddya....

Yes, I Admit It, I Stole My Name
Nov. 4th, 2003 10:19 amOn Friday at Kevin and Crystal's house party the Gothvickers who are on LJ (most of them anyway, shadesofwinter was otherwise occupied) found ourselves talking about our online journals and various bits of LJ life, including where we got our user IDs. I tried to explain briefly where I stole mine, here are some more details, excerpted from the Mail-Art Encyclopedia (http://www.sztuka-fabryka.be/encyclopaedia/items/lieutenant_murnau.htm): ( Read more... )
However, I didn't rip this off randomly - "Lt. Murnau" is only one of several personae I have appropriated during the 17 years I've been sporadically involved in mail art, fake and multiple identities, and other pranks usually funny only to myself. (I was a real live lieutenant in the army, too, once upon a time.)
If you can't amuse even yourself, then what's the point?
Anyway, that's my expose for today. I would like to do more with "Lt. Murnau" as a cover identity for different projects - perhaps one day he could open for Hackfleisch.
