My name is Sue. How do you do?

About Me

May I set the stage?
I shall impersonate a man. Come, enter into my imagination, and see him.
His name: Alonso Quijana, a country squire. No younger young. Bony, hollow-faced, eyes that burn with the fire of inner vision. Being retired, he has much time for books. He studies them from morn to night, and often through the night as well. And all he read oppresses him, fills him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward men. And he concieves the strangest project ever imagined: To become a knight-errant, and sally forth into the world to right all wrongs.
No longer shall he be playing Alonso Quijana, but a dauntless knight known as Don Quixote de la Mancha.
(from Man of la Mancha)

embarrassing vernacular

I'm not going to say where I picked up this habit, but I just realized that I say "fracking" in my head. I don't generally say it aloud because of the responses it gets, but I was just looking at a ba...

wet moccasins

Ah, the unforeseen dangers of deep sleep. I have a visual memory from last night of ensuring the loudness of my cell phone moments before sinking into the weird world in which I spend my nights. Every...

Last night around 9:00 I began sneezing uncontrollably and by the time I fell asleep had a pretty killer cold going on. Consequently, I awoke and, after eating the biggest bowl of oatmeal anyone could...

On Friday I drove to San Francisco with Jenny and, after adventures with Caleb and Fallin, met up with Jordan. We went to Miles' house and drank some beers and that was when something wondrous happene...

Disjointed Nonsense

So. I am home again. Home as in Sacramento. (I find myself calling Seattle home sometimes, depending on who I'm talking to. It's confusing. Seems like the conventional meaning of "home" involves one l...

Marilyn Manson just came on random on my iTunes. "The boy that you loved is the man that you fear." There was a time in my life when I could not get enough of him. I admired him and listening to him i...
