About Me

I'm a former Michigander (who badly misses Jet's Pizza and the Wings) and now slightly perplexed Californian (who has grown to love Peet's Coffee but can't quite seem to care about the Sharks). I am a librarian, and no, I do not go around shushing people all day long. Much as I would like to. I live in the perfect location in Berkeley -- 15 minutes' walk from the library, the art movies, the Hollywood movies, and multiple sources of caffeine. When I grow up I want to write novels, foster shelter dogs, and open a restaurant of 24-hour breakfast. Further web-content can be found at:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are cool. Who read. Who have interesting conversations.

My Blog

Au revoir!

Okay, I have finally had enough of Myspace's blogging non-functionality, and I am migrating over to Blogger.  Current and future writings can be found here -- which I know is a ridiculously ...

There’s no crackheads in Alaska!

Much to my surprise, P. Diddy (I believe that is his name du jour) speaks for me in his latest video blog.  I could, and probably will, write a longer post about the Sarah Palin trainwreck, but f...

At last, bike justice!

So I'm waiting to turn onto MLK this morning in my usual spot, where you have to wait for a break in both directions to cross.  A bicyclist pulls up next to me, and then another one.  And th...

News update: productivity fest!

Yay, finally good news about Austin!  His PET scan results came back and indicated that the tumor metabolism has decreased by 60%, which is v. good news.  He will still be doing two more cyc...

And now, restaurant annoyance!

Apparently Zuni Cafe will serve you a nectarine for $8.  Yes, one nectarine, not pre-sliced or plated in any way.  Billed as "nectarine dessert."  For $8.  I did find my one experi...

Played-out internet meme + played-out "world leader" somehow = comedy gold.  Thanks, The Guardian!
