| Introduction | I think explaining everyday things mathematically is a thing of utmost beauty. Also, manual cars are an order of magnitude more fun to drive than automatic ones. I like talking to friends about anything and everything, often at the same time. I find it surprising that a tremendous amount of wisdom can be gleaned from movies, and on an unrelated note, eating good food is perhaps second only to talking about great food. I think misery loves company, and that some of the most enjoyable time is spent with people with whom you share aimlessness and competitive exclusivity. Among the things people have called me are "tohtahlly random", good listener, disseminator of random happiness, weird indie movie watcher, and some other stuff more suited to a convivial setting. |
