It was the story of an egg that went to battle against a man made of spoons, and won, to become mayo

About Me

One year ago, I moved to Los Angeles. Here: helicopters are the new trains, I've become a shade darker than vampiric, and sunglasses are a necessity. Right now I teach, but I'd like to do more. I worry that I'll never do enough. I want to design curriculum and name crayons. I want to learn Russian, read books for a living, and travel. I want to work in a museum, a university, an underground lair. . . I also want a tree house. I have a yet unwavering faith in the goodness of humanity, though life has tried to cure me of it several times. Laughter is an absolute necessity. Logic puzzles are like knitting for my brain. I can't sleep with my feet under the covers. Most nights I can't sleep at all. I have a cat that is half lion and one-quarter hound dog. I'd be lost without him. I love the sound of fabric tearing, the smell of grapefruit, and the taste of snow. I hate giving up. I'm good with sharp objects, but disastrous with tape. Sarcasm is a virtue, I'm grateful for every good day, and singing at the top of my lungs feels like a cure-all.
