About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Minnesota

It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

This is what I really do at the library

I just made the astounding discovery that Vader, as in Darth Vader, is actually in Microsoft Word’s dictionary (I won't go into explanations to try to explain how I stumbled upon this). So I checked some other names just to see, and these are all in there:

Skywalker
Baryshnikov
Gonzo
Pollack
Flintstone
Austen
Scooby (although, oddly, Doo is not)
Hemingway
Reagan
Capote
Audi
Marquez

A few that are not:

Auden
Kubrick
Kandinsky
Godard
Calvino
Nabokov
Doo (as mentioned above)

Also, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are members of the Holiday Inn Priority Club. I got bored one night at work and looked them up. And I assume that other people got bored on other nights and signed them up.
