About Me

I have a flickr account . Check it out if you're an enthusiast of dreary landscapes, meaningless abstract close-ups of the shrubbery outside of my apartment, dimly lit night photography, or generally boring pictures of people you don't know (the pictures are boring, not the people in them, I mean).I enjoy tea, trashy science fiction, drinking tea while reading trashy sci-fi, coffee, drinking coffee and/or tea while reading Proust and/or trashy sci-fi, Robert Altman movies (except Nashville, which I'm probably not cool enough to appreciate), corn dogs, tea and corn dogs, chili and corn dogs, reading atlases of all types, Arsenal, and people-watching.
