About Me

I have an active social life, which I actively neglect.

"One would think the tears of one's lover would [taste] best; but the tears of a child are more pleasing to the palate." Thanks Lautreamont, for the kind advice.

"Unsatisfied passion is... death without end." Bataille, you dog.

Television:

Rome. Dexter. I used to like nip/tuck though season four ate dick. battle dome, wherever you may be, oh great saviour of many a sleepless night. weeds. law and order: svu. somehow i find myself enjoying Supernatural.

Books:

Recently finished Samuel R. Delany's "The Fall of the Towers" trilogy, then read Aleister Crowley's "Diary of a Drug Fiend", followed by Samuel R. Delany's "The Einstein Intersection", followed by J. G. Ballard's "Crash" despite having seen the movie like 10,000 times. Right. Then I read John Crowley's "The Translator", quickly followed by Gene Wolfe's "Urth of the New Sun". Currently settling into Jorge Luis Borges's "Labyrinths" (selected short stories.) It's been a good year for literary pursuits.
