Delilah Squid© is where I stretch my artistic tentacles.
"Born to Hula" by Queens of the Stone Age is my theme song.
I have a natural aversion to clicking on the "submit" button.
Snark and Sass are traits of mine that I show just because I care.

The fact that it is gross and wet outside makes me want to watch movies. I find it amusing that Canadian indie films are put into the "Foreign Films" section here. In Canada.
I had a trial bout of cablevision for six months, and it was apparent after a couple weeks that I like weird reality shows, such as "Wife Swap." I think I got the wrong idea about that show though, and I didn't have a remote.
I like trade paperbacks with matte covers. That is what you call, "Judging a book by its cover," and don't even try to tell me that you don't do that. Why else are you here?
Non-fiction is entertaining because it happened somewhere, sometime.

Thompson, Lisa Moore, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and Theodore Geisel.
No heroes, thanks. Just dear, and awe-inspiring friends & fambly.
