sartor resartus [translation]

I read recently that a weblog should have some authorial autobiography.

I lack one here.

I think the main reason is that, if you've read, say, the entire front page, you'll have a pretty good idea what sort of person is writing these entries. No number of self-revelatory facts I throw in will provide you with any better notion of who I am than the mass of topics I've assembled here, and the collection of links over there on the right.

However, I do want to be usable, so I'll throw out this bone:

Usually, when I finally get a free moment to sit with my laptop and tap out an entry, I'll be in my pajamas. My apartment has poor weatherproofing, lately it's been pretty chilly, and the warmth of an overworked CPU isn't quite enough to keep me comfortable, so I'll sometimes add a few layers.

What I wear is pretty telling, I think. Generally it'll be:

• Red pajama bottoms with froufrou kitty-cats and little tiny pawprints. I can't stand the pattern, but they're quite comfortable, and I got them for free from my girlfriend, so they were quite the bargain. And she seems to like them.
• Some random selection of gimme t-shirts from my former employer; today it's from the 2000 company picnic. I think that was the only year I actually attended because it was the only year I didn't have to work that day.
• To keep me warm, an Animaniacs sweatshirt. Those wacky Warner Brothers! (and Dot!) — I'm pretty sure this one was a gift from Sh's mother
• If it's really cold, gigantic green and black slippers that look like the feet of a large bipedal lizard. They have three stuffed yellow vinyl claws on each foot, and one of them has a zipper on the back where some sort of noisemaking device is intended to rest, so that they roar when I take a step. I never had the noisemaker, though, because they were bought on sale. My thanks to Jane for those.

Next time I'll consider explaining what the deal is with the "nondescript posting titles".

Maybe.
