things groovy, things contemptable.

so its been a while since i last posted, and in an attempt to keep this going and put up something partially interesting but largely self referential and aggrandizing i thought i would post a list i created. this list, while fairly comprehensive, still has some gaps but it might be useful in finding out about a number of things that i obsess over, some of my pet peeves and other things that just make very little sense whatsoever. that is, if you even care about knowing me in this manner. but since there are only about 3 of you out there that read this, it doesnt matter anyway. 10 points for whomever knows anything about the more obscure references in the groovy list.

so, here goes.
