"Fine Breakfast in the East Bay"
It can be a wait to even get a table, and, unless you're inclined to stand in everyone's way in the narrow entry, most of your time standing around will be out on the street. The food is above decent, and their weekly specials are great (the blue...

Quinby is a duck (quack!); no, I mean Quinby is an artist. I don't know whether she uses cotton duck canvas, but she's no quack. I've never seen her artwork, but everything about Quinby is genuine (as opposed to meerly professional; anyone can be professional). Her ideas glow through the things she says and does not say, and through (I suppose) everything else she does. Certainly she dances as if everything she is thinking were orbiting round her rather than the other dancers at the Starry Plough. She's pretty tall (I can only approve) and is blonde, but is certainly not "a blonde." For example, I imagine that even when she forgets things, it is not ditziness but professorial absentmindedness, if you know what I mean. Anyway, Quinby is certainly interesting; I believe that she has always been interesting, and will always be interesting (it takes one to know one). She's outstandingly worthwhile to talk to and superb company when one is spending a fun-filled day in a crowd, yelling protest march jingles into the clear blue sky.

Quinby is whip smart and too terribly fun to play with in games of wit, or silliness, or what-have-you. I actually quite like this one, which generally means they're dangerous and at least slightly mad. Watch out.

Quinby is a cat. Yay! Quinby, ah a lady of many names. But can you guess her real one? Quinby is my favorite cat because she talks and is horribly amusing and fun to be around and a great friend. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. Love ya' Cat!

A girl who's smart as a whip, witty, fun to be around, and talented. We've had some glorious laughs. From hippos and galloping cows to "calf boy."
You'll be greatly missed when you're away. Who will I hawk with now?! ;)

Quinby is one of the smartest girls I know. she is always willing to share her knowelesge with other to help them and never to be concieted or show off. She is warm and welcoming and has really made me feel like i belong in her circle, even though we just met. I know I have to do a semeester abroad just so I can come visit her....

Miss Marigold Fezziwig – I wish you the best of luck in Cambridge, and yes, if I end up in “real London” this time next year, I’ll assuredly come visit in Cambridge as often as I can! Thank you for the wonderful emails. I still can’t believe you’re not going to college to act. If Cambridge turns you down, I’ve heard that we have a wonderful acting college here in the states you might have heard of called Carnegie Mellon University.

about me
Inking is highly addicting. I become distracted very easily around shiny things. I write exceedingly long e-mails about absolutely nothing. Modern slang is lost on me. I draw, but do not paint, unless I plan on only covering myself with color. I actually travel less often than one would think. Watching gesso dry isn't as awful as it sounds. Technology has it out for me; karmic rebound for being a Luddite in a past life. I bat at things that hang or flop. Set pieces that are blindingly white have been named after me. I go off on excessively lengthy tangents. I'd rather sit on a table than in a chair. My life frequently plays out like some B-movie, however, I occasionally wish that it were more like a Bollywood film. I get into paint fights. I dip french fries in milkshakes. As a whole, I don't like being touched. I like bubbles, bouncy balls, sticks, and silly putty. I name supposedly inanimate objects, including computers and cars. I am more than geek enough. I love the smell of: asphalt, after the sky sprinkles, or the clouds are dense with water, but the rain has yet to fall; bonfires, especially those on a beach in Greece; and turpentine. If I weren't in the humanities, I would have made a grand astronomical physicist. I'm rather fond of things that come full-circle. I Charleston at odd moments. I growl, but don't purr. I'll take Moliere over Shakespeare. My mobile is really only useful as a clock. I hit the roof of cars for yellow lights, one headlights, Fed-Ex trucks, purple cars, and art cars. Marbles never cease in their amusement value. I car dance. My default food is Mexican. I refuse to leave the house without a pen on me. I am the "token" many things. I make wishes when time lines up, as well as when I cross train tracks. My answering service message is blank. I often get inexplicably happy for no tangible reason. I am an elitist.
