About

I guess I should actually have some "about" information here. So, since my brain is losing all the clever-sounding vocabulary I used to have in high school, I am going to write about books (maybe films, maybe politics), then maybe the words will start coming back.

I read mostly sci-fi/fantasy, particularly children's fantasy (nice short books, good moral undertones and happy endings), but I also enjoy Regency romances and the occasional piece of straight fiction. I watch rom-coms and also action movies where stuff blows up to the accompaniment of a stirring score and witty one-liners.

Other interests include late Romantic orchestral music, sewing, foreign languages, and constitutional law.

(And ponies. Mustn't forget the ponies.)

Then fast the horsemen followed, where the gorges deep and black
Resounded to the thunder of their tread,
And the stockwhips woke the echoes, and they fiercely answered back
From cliffs and crags that beetled overhead.
