I like things. I like people. I especially like the lady person pictured above. I am over-fond of text. Books, television, films, poetry, theatre. I will post Roman things, mythology things, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Buffy (and Angel and Firefly and Dr. Horrible and Dollhouse), Stephen Sondheim, My Little Pony. ee cummings gets an automatic reblog. Oh, I knit, too. Just never enough.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I love you.
Spike has fought two Slayers in the last century,
and... he's killed them both.
Apropos of nothing, at all venues where one signs disposable cups which are intended for use all night long, I sign my cups ‘Giulielmus Crudelis’. Because Aculeus was too mainstream.

vix te sum nactus
et hoc delirum
sed hic numerum
voca me forsan
No, mother, I could not feel your church group praying for my safety. The fact that I’m home safe is not proof that it worked; that logic is post hoc ergo propter hoc. …No, I’m not sassing you in Eskimo talk!

Sonnet 11
A love of wooing, sighing, patt’ring hearts
In flushéd bosoms some deem excellent.
No greater cause, say they, than having spent
The ransom of a king on fruited tarts
And other such confections, stones, and carts
Pulled by fine horses. All those of that bent
Have poorly judged, and their emotions rent
And reason tattered, shorn by Cupid’s darts.
Chaste love, indeed, is wond’rous to possess,
But consummated love is better still;
For children come of th’ act of love that was.
No greater joy, say I, than child’s caress;
And greatest truth that man can e’er distil:
In progenie immortalitas.
