Author's Note:

I used to be a Swarthmore student, and then I was a lab tech, and now I am a grad student in Ann Arbor. Before all of that I was your typical overachiever genderconfused sociallyinept wannabepunk highschooloutcast. I communicate my history via cartoons and diarywriting and (more subtly) psychological research.

Another web diary entry, very similar to "Winter"; maybe a little redundant, but see what you think. Also short. Too short?

A cartoon. **Warning: adult content of a sexual nature. Especially page 3.** Note: Image quality is not perfect. If there is fine print you fail to make out, please ask.

Another entry from my web diary: self-indulgent nostalgia about the music I grew up with. [NEW & IMPROVED! 1.5 % LESS FAT!]

This is an entry I just wrote in my web diary. It's kind of stream-of-consciouness, but could potentially develop into an autobio essay a la Chuck- comments are welcome.

Me And My Neuroses: Part 1 of 2,487, 03 October 2001 (Modified 03 Oct 2001 7:13 pm)


This one was mostly an excuse to draw my (former) apartment. (I did finally find the notes from that class, when I was moving.)

Pottery Lessons, 03 October 2001 (Modified 29 Oct 2001 10:45 pm) ; 4 comments


A very word-heavy form of cartoon (one image, zillion words) about a piece of pottery I made when I was a kid.
