Sass

That dog has a puffy tail!

About Me

I once developed a lasting (if rather peculiar) friendship with a man because he made a joke about Bill Clinton being the Democratic Kwisatz Haderach.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, probably not any new friends. I dislike almost everyone I come into contact with. If you can deal with that, we'll get along just fine.

Television:

Bring back Firefly! Also, Alton Brown.

Books:

Right now? Politics of Piety, The Lost Continent, my Arabic book.Always: American Gods, Good Omens, Pride and Prejudice, Kushiel's Dart, Handmaid's Tale, etc.

My Blog

updates on the mentally disabled and crapcheese

So I really was planning to be a good little myspace blogger.  But, as usual, my inherent laziness got in the way and, well...here it is 2 months since the last post. In my defense, I got a new...

...I believe that's what they call a hiatus.  Only mine was prompted less by a rapidly expanding civil war and more by a combination of laziness and frenzied paper-writing.  However, barrin...

a terse update

I have very little interesting to say since Arabic killed my brain, but, for those who wanted a window into the inner workings of Sass: I'm going on vacation to beautiful, exotic western North Carolin...

a strangely successful weekend

So, I had a rather successful weekend.  After only minimal mental struggle and hair-pulling, I think I might kinda understand Arabic verb forms.  We'll see how long that particular happ...

Apologies

Arabic is blowing my mind.  Seriously.  I apologize to anybody I've neglected and will continue to neglect for the next three weeks.  On the other hand, anybody who can forgive me now ...
