Go. Do. Be.

About Me

Some tribal names I might go by:Feels the beat
Finds the trail
Writes the bones
Waits for the end of the song
Eats Quik straight
Wonders if she's out there
Nails Jello to the wall
Feeds the fish
Enjoys getting lost
Gives away pickles
Hits the snooze
Reads 'til dawn
Misses the sunrise
Shifts the gears
and last but not least... Big Chief Quityerbitchin'

RIP: Magic

I had a customer today looking for something that I thought surely I, being surrounded by books all day, would be able to find. I'm shocked that I couldn't, particularly because they were looking for...

What's next? A.I.?

too pooped to pop

I'm not in hermit mode, really. The distinct difference between hermit mode and whatever-this-is would clearly be defined by my activity level. In hermit mode, I don't do much physically in a day. ...
