Personal Info

I am a fourth year graduate student at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, working mostly in Metaphysics and Philosophy of Language. If you want to see some of the stuff I'm working on, go here. If you want to know about other professional stuff, go to my cv here.

I transferred to North Carolina three years ago, and there are MANY things that clearly rock about this place. The top three (in no particular order): (1) the weather (2) the philo dept, and all the peeps in the dept, and (3) Hell.

Fav foods: Cheese, Mangoes, and Bombay Saphire on the rocks. Not all at once, necessarily.

Here are some of the places I've lived (for three months or more), going from most recent to way back:

Chapel Hill, NC
Syracuse, NY
Fayetteville, AR
Norman, OK
Syracuse, NY
Dubois, WY (for a summer)
La Jolla, CA (for a summer)
Lake Tahoe, CA
Irvine, CA
Chesterfield, MO
Irvine, CA
Kansas City, MO
St. Louis, MO

I have two cats, Nacho and Wyman. They are both fat, lazy, sleep a ton, and seem to get up only to eat. Nacho's kind of a bad-ass; Wyman's scared of dust. And, no, Wyman isn't named after Quine's bloated ontology guy. She was found on Wyman road in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the only thing bloated about her is her belly. True to her suth'n roots, she's missing several teeth.

Thoughts on life: no one should live in weather that dips below 70 F; no one should ever have to wear more than a swimsuit and flip-flops.

Talents: making guacamole, falling asleep at parties (and then sometimes waking up to party some more), accumulating parking tickets, talking my way out of over half my parking tickets, being deluded after a couple of beers to think that I can afford to pay everyone's bar tab.

The cure for nearly everything: run, run, run,...

The cure for what running won't: looking at a curled up kitten who snores.
