Bio

This journal is no longer active for posting content. Please see http://www.lyspeth.com/blog/.

I like things to make sense. Small oddities amuse me. On average, I prefer cats to people. I'm more inclined to the real than the surreal.

Usual journal subjects include language oddities, cycling and public transit in the Bay Area, computers and the internet, interesting or strange experiences, and cooking.

This journal is public. (There are past entries that are private from before it was a public journal.) I have another journal,

lyspeth, that used to be my primary journal, but which I now use mostly privately. I am no longer using this journal for content due to new LiveJournal policies that I'm not comfortable with, but I do continue to read friends' journals.
