I was born a poor, black child. Now, look at me! Just LOOK at me!

I have a hard time writing a terse-and-witty-yet-sincere bio. Just take it from me: boy, am I sincere. I'm a sensitive cynic with a solid streak of optimism. I like geeking out and laughing until I snort. Let me qualify the geek part: I like alternative comic books, but not superhero ones. I like Star Trek, not Star Wars. I... I... well, by including this bit I'm sort of exposing myself as being a self-conscious dork.

Er, also, I'm a foodie. I collect fiddly and expensive kitchen things that will be used about twice a year. Last time I made my last commercial tactical error, I was shopping drunk on Amazon.com. In the mail, I received a silicone pastry brush and a Cornelius DVD (among other things). Ye gods. Well, the Cornelius thing is purty neat...

I used to be a dog person, but I think I'm in the kitty camp now.

I teach English, but this I vow to you: I do not spontaneously correct anybody's spelling or grammar. That is something we call "rude."
