Books:

No list could ever do justice to my myriad loves, so here is a top five:
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

The Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
Of course the epic fantasies (LOTR, etc) are on par with the top five, but that goes without saying.

My Blog

I left my heart in South America

Just for the record:It just hit me sometime in the past week that I am, in fact, in the United States and not Chile. The whole cultural upheaval didn't slink its way into my awareness until after the ...

GEEEYAAAH EXCITEMENT.

I just booked my flight to Puntas Arenas. In three weeks and one day I will be flying to the end of the world (or close enough). I don't think I could possibly be in a bad mood today.

Why are you like this? Like how you are?

Last night I had a dream that I went to visit Kim Step in Hawaii. When we got there I was taken to the beach on a power boat and then promptly dumped in the water. Kim and I were splashing around ...
