About me

night person











Incarnadine

"In a night of rain, the ruddy reflections of their lights incarnadine the clouds till the entire city appears to be the prey of a monster conflagration."
- Alvan F. Sanborn, "New York After Paris," The Atlantic, October 1906

"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red."
- Shakespeare, Macbeth

"The chaplain glanced at the bridge table that served as his desk and saw only the abomanible orange-red, pear-shaped, plum tomato he had obtained that same morning from Colonel Cathcart, still lying on its side where he had forgotten it like an indestructible and incarnadine symbol of his own ineptitude."
- Joseph Heller, Catch-22



Thanks for stopping by. On this blog, I tend to explore the "darker" side of my personality; so if you're not comfortable with that sort of thing, well...I'm sorry. Get lost.

A little more about me, in case anyone really wanted to know: I enjoy things like weather watching, web page design, music/radio, Celtic pride, politics, history, humor, literature/journalism, writing, photography, travel/road trips, hanging out with friends and family, making vaguely philosophical statements, staying up late, insert trendy pastime here, avoiding the grim specter (spectre?) of death and some other stuff.

Have no fear: more self-indulgent crap is on the way, eventually. For now, I must go. I must be elusive.


My work

Reply hazy; ask again later. No, seriously, you really don't want to know. Or at the very least, I don't feel like telling you.
