About Me

Ask someone else.

My Interests

Things like books, music, and film; messing around in the dirt trying to grow things; photography; candlemaking; vegetarian and retro-Americana cooking; beer and wine; cocktail mixology; coffee and tea; sushi; nubby textiles; the color aqua; lucite table lighters; riding my bicycle (Electra Townie- I am a nerd on lazy cruiser wheels); all things Mac; home improvement projects; hanging out with my dog, Horus; thinking about pretty living.

Books:

Favorite authors: Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Franzen, Donna Tartt, David Sedaris. I'm way into nonfiction: left wing muckraking journalism, meanspirited activist sociology. I worship at the altar of "Dwell" and "Wallpaper".

Ghost Town

Deserted, crumbly Texas towns give me pleasant heebie-jeebies. You are looking at Bradshaw, in southern Taylor County. Some Saturday, go down there and poke around -- it's fun. (Beware of angry wasps...

The Wonders of Brasso

Meme pool

I have rediscovered an old internet-based friend. A champion time-sucker from those long ago office-bound days of the early Aughties. Durned if it isn't better than ever. If you like stuff, it might b...

Beef Alert

Tonight in celebration of my impending graduation, I was taken to Joe Allen's. Not my choice, really, but it was coincidentally my brother's birthday (Happy Birthday Cameron). He is a big eater of bee...

Drugs and rages

Have you ever taken Flexeril? Last evening I had me one of them bad headaches, and my mom said, 'Oh here, take two of my 8-hour Tylenol and a Flexeril. It's a delightful little muscle relaxant.' I sai...

My Way

Well, chickens, this is it. Graduation. I am done with this Abilene, this wellspring of psychic filth, this brown smear of human detritus. As I sashay across that stage Saturday, amongst my flowing bi...
