I mean, what’s not to love?
Ok, since
Miss Trixie
asked so nicely, I’m gonna write soimething. But I really have nothin’ to say.
I’m at work right now. I don’t even want to get in to what I’m doin’ for a living right now, ’cause its just depressing. And why is everyone I work with so Gd%&$ long-winded, anyway. Just talk [...]

At the top of the built-in bookshelves in our living room are two books: The Figure of Beatrice and The Poems of WB Yeats. I’ve had them four years now. Every time I move, they’re carefully packed away, usually in their own box, thereby minimizing jostling and tearing. When I unpack, they’re put back [...]
So, loking over this mornings post, I feel the need to clarify: I was never a drug addict, prostitte, runaway teen or serial killer. I’ve never been to jail, and never really done anything that would take me there.
Which raises another interesting question: is sin being untrue to yourself, or do you need to do [...]

Let me clarify: for the majority of my adult life, I’ve felt like (pardon my French) a fuck up. In the space of one year, at age eighteen, I went from straight-shooting golden child to that drunk girl at the party who [...]
You’re Ulysses!
by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don’t make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you’re saying now makes tons of sense. What people do

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled;Not prone to overstated gushing praiseNor yet to seething rants and anger, filledWith overstretched opinions to rephrase;But on the other hand, not fond of fools,And thus, not fond of people, on the whole;And holding to the sound and useful [...]
I'm a librarian. Special skills include dog charming, brochure writing, slapdash cooking and long-winded nattering. I also enjoy watching the sunset's reflection in the tall buildings downtown.
For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and live on a boat in Sausalito, CA.
