As a graduate student hoping to graduate in December, I have little time to enjoy life. Even when I do have time, I am so tired and grouchy that I can't enjoy it. However, there was a time when I did have a life that wasn't dominated by watching insects have sex. I vaguely remember the following interests.

An act of desperation

I enjoy watching the Cubs play baseball. Well, something resembling baseball... Each season, we Cubs fans become convinced that "this is the year" only to have our hopes completely dashed by the All-Star break. Every year, disappointing loss after disappointing loss, I vow to never again watch another Cubs game. Come next season, I am back in Wrigley Field wearing all of my Cubs paraphenalia, drinking a beer, and singing with Harry. It's a disease.

I also enjoy basketball and the Bulls. Kinda makes up for the whole Cub thing. Or at least it used to. It remains to be seen whether this year will prove to be as fruitful as the past two.

Mmm, coffee...

The Beatles... Need I say more?

I have a beautiful, little cat named The Spooky Kitty. Spooky makes her living by being very cute, thereby toying with my emotions, and making me feed her.
