About Me

I'm your average lit nerd living in San Francisco who writes Alexandrine couplets about inane subjects. I work at Jefferson High School teaching ELD. I'm fascinated by train hopping, carnivals and fairs. I must've spent a past life with a traveling circus in the early nineteen-hundreds. I love pirates--both the real life, starving, scurvied pirates and the costume pirates that yell "AAAARRRRRRR" at everyone. As a side note, I got scurvy one time. Yes, it's still possible to get scurvy. Zombies are also really cool. I love Monopoly. My greatest dream in life is to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. I have complex lists of all my favorite things, like my six favorite movies and my five favorite restaurants. My three favorite things to read about when I'm bored are angelogy, eschatology, and ekistics. Did you see Lost in Translation? You know that scene where they're filming the Japanese TV show? That could've been filmed inside my head--it's like that pretty much all the time in there.

Arthur C. Clarke died today.

This is not a surprise.  The man was 90 years old.  He was the sole survivor of the Golden Age of Science Fiction.  He was old when A Space Odyssey came out, and that was a long time ag...

Well, maybe it doesnt sucks THIS bad, but . . .

The new Rilo Kiley CD sucks a little. No wait . . . It sucks a lot. It suck my balls. Violently. So much that they're sore, and not sore from being sucked excessively in a hot way, as they should ...

Jumping over the Edge

Everyone falls from a cliff once in their lives, when they leave the womb.  It's not a leap of faith, nothing voluntary or intentional, more like standing near the edge of the Grand Canyon, or th...
