About Me

My Interests

Cats in general, but mine in particular. Science fiction and science fact. Fantasy as a genre. Anthropology, philosophy, folklore, mythology. Makeup. Eddie Izzard. The Henry Rollins Experience. Gardening. History. Art that works the gray matter. Cemetery statuary (and the symbology behind them.) Humor. New Orleans. Music. Movies. Television. Collecting things. Spider Lilies and Bat-Face Cuphea. Coffee and very strong chai (but never green tea). Hair like rainbows. Christopher Guest movies. Being right as often as possible. Being modest about that. Lost. The possibility of the paranormal. Phayriees. (Not really.) Sidhe. Goblins, trolls and other creature of ill repute.

I'd like to meet:
