Through sheer will, Debbie made me do this meme:
Three names you go by: Jim, James, Dude
Three screennames you have: jim.carson, doctor_bob, fnord
Three things you like about yourself: innate curiosity; sense of humor; the veins on the back of my hands.
Three things you hate/dislike about yourself: I suck at nearly every team sport imaginable; my skin is perpetually dry; I can't project my voice
Three parts of your heritage: Texan, protestant, generalist
Three things that scare you: Seeing a state trooper in the rear-view mirror, flying cockroaches, religious fanatics.
Three of your everyday essentials: Lotion; wireless networks; carbonated/caffeinated beverages
Three things you are wearing right now: T-shirt from a biking event; Levi's; sunglasses (the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades)
Three of your favorite [songs/]bands/artists (at the moment): Marc Broussard, "Home"; Paul Brady, "The World is What You Make It"; The Waifs, "Lighthouse"
Three things you want to try in the next 12 months: Making tiramisu; getting paid to write; losing the weight I've gained over the holiday.
Three things you want in a relationship (love is a given): Affection; tolerance (which I suppose implies a sense of humour); multi-dimensionality.
Two truths and a lie (random order): Shad are an important part of the North American food chain.
I enjoyed reading Lord of the Rings
While filming a segment on bicycle commuting for an Oakland TV station, my lunch fell off my bike and was run over by a car.
