About Me

Have you heard about Snarky Tees? It's the next best thing to breathing! I absolutely love Snarky Tees (and the woman behind it all is a snarky tease herself):

Due to some quirk that is most likely a result of MySpace's suckiness, I cannot post my Google map on my page. I would still like to share it, however, so you can view it here if you like. It's a map of my favorite/regular places in San Francisco.

Awesome. Just awesome.

My Interests

First of all, I absolutely love Snarky Tees (and the woman behind it all is a snarky tease herself): LIKES: Chocolate, beer, kitty-cats, and T. S. Elliot's definition of the "objective correlative" and the Jungian discussion it opens regarding points of view spanning cultures, time, and language.DISLIKES: Rudeness, bad breath, and structuralistic literary criticism which argues that the "novelty value of a literary text" can lay only in new structure, rather than in the specifics of character development and voice in which that structure is expressed.

I'd like to meet:

Donald Rumsfeld, and take off his mask. Dick Cheney, and put a mask on him. Janeane Garofalo, and not giggle profusely. Buddha, and say "Howdy."

Rex, L7, Nine Inch Nails, Queen, System of a Down...and on and on, et cetera, et cetera...
