Shades of Mediocrity

stuff I like, and so on

Librarian, dilettante, cultural omnivore without enough time and money to see/hear/read everything I would like. Possessed of too short an attention span and too easily distracted by the next nifty idea or activity to focus on any one intellectual pursuit. Failed clarinetist and musicologist, but okay with that. Frequently trivial in the extreme. Lover of dogs and cats, especially my own. Sucker for cute furry animals. Technogeek with very few actual technoskills. Writer of wordy and awkward prose. Plays games, all sorts: board, card, video, RPG. Likes bad fiction a little too much; likes good fiction even more. Lover of food and wine. Tries to get a little exercise, usually on a bicycle, to mitigate epicurean tendencies. Not really qualified to comment on anything, but happy to do so anyway. Needs to get out more.
