Milk chocolate is better than dark chocolate.

American cheese is awesome. Nothing makes a better grilled cheese sandwich, breakfast sandwich, or cheese burger.

I don't like dogs. I bear them no ill will and will pat one if they insist, but I think they're gross.

I don't like tattoos.

I hate summer. It makes me miserable. I LOVE winter. I love the bleakness and gloom. It makes me happy! I get to cook delicious comforting things, and wear cozy clothes, and sleep with the window open under a pile of heavy blankets. My mood is elevated the entire season and I feel good both physically and mentally during winter. I like that is a bit dangerous and must be prepared for.

I hate avocados. It's a fruit made of fat. What? No.

I always have several books going at once. I'm reading In the Vaults Beneath- Archaeological Recording at St George's Church, Bloomsbury

Totem and Taboo by Freud

The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig. I'm finding this particularly moving. On the surface it reads as nostalgia, but, it's really an elegy. The civility and culture of the age was becoming increasingly tenuous and frail as it could no longer fight the recurring infection of antisemitism. And of course, all was to be lost. All was lost.

He was a fascinating person.

Hi! I'm Pithy Pants. I tried to register over at nuRome but was denied, as paranoia is a helluva drug.

I enjoy witty banter and reading good conversations.
