Derby Heroes:
I love all derby players who commit to the sport and treat their fellow athletes with respect and derba love.
Other Hobbies:
Readin', writin', & rithmetic. Darting around the country. And eating. A lot.
Favorite Meal & Drink:
A carne seca burrito from El Charro in Tucson; a slice of pizza from Gino's East in Chicago, Wick's Pizza in Louisville, or maybe Ray's Original in New York (depending on my mood); a side of black beans & rice from Little Havana in Miami; the Indian buffet at New Indian Cuisine in San Jose; my dad's biscuits & gravy; a watermelon; and some cake and ice cream for dessert.
Favorite Book:
Lorrie Moore's <i>Self-Help</i> (don't be tricked: it's a collection of short stories, not psychobabble.) I'm also quite fond of dictionaries and atlases.
Favorite Movie or TV Show:
I am not really a movie/TV person, but I am fond of the crime/true crime genre. I think "The Wire" was triumphant, I relish a good "Law & Order: SVU" marathon, and I even enjoy "Cops." Clearly I missed my professional calling.
Favorite Derby Move:
I sure enjoy delivering a nice, solid C-block.
Derby Name Story:
I study avatars and virtual environments, so it seemed apt.
