My bio is a bit sparse so I thought I'd say a bit about myself here.

I live in Seattle with my wife. We've been in the area for almost five years now and love it. We moved from Ohio and hope to live overseas (maybe Korea, who knows) after I finish graduate school in 2012(ish). I'm getting my MA in TESOL.

I enjoy reading, language and the impossibly amazing and continually surprising variety of Washington's landscape.

Favorite writers include :

Kurt Vonnegut
G.K. Chesterton
Ursuala Le Guin
Edith Wharton
Tolstoy L.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

Among others.

I love hot sauce.

I hate cilantro.

If I had a dog, I would name him Jormundgund, Fenris or Walter.

Anyhow, that's a bit about me.

i, too, hate cilanto. that stuff really is plain awful.

my dogs both have literary names instead of mythological names (roland and harper), but even with stuffy names like that, i think jormundgund would be quite a mouthful.

Jormundgund? Bonus points if it's a poodle or chihuahua.

@ heather

What kind of dogs are they? Roland is a pretty great name, regardless, but Harper for something like a bulldog would be classy.

Also, I could short to Jormie, which has a... nice (?) ring to it.

@ Ala it would be a Shiba Inu.

Actually, my dream is to have two Burmese mountain dogs that I take on hikes with me.

I could stand at the summit and yell, "Fenris, Jorumundgund, COME TO ME!"

And then my wife would point and laugh, but still, the dramatic possibilities are LIMITLESS.
