A new Pixar movie means? Rejoicing! Although I haven’t seen WALL-E yet. Because I am a bad fan. Soon. Every Pixar movie, though, I see the trailer and I’m like, how are they gonna pull this off? An animated family movie with a 70-something crotchety protagonist? Then again, their short Geri’s Game was about an aging gentleman chess player, and that was fantastic. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to trust Pixar.
I am a twenty-something cinephile, music lover, internet junkie, gamer grrrl, and recovering academic (English lit). This is my home, but you can also find me around the net; see my Friendfeed activity below for all my interweb haunts.

I don’t think I’m going to make a very good academic. Good thing I already suspected that and didn’t sign up for the PhD program.
There’s an elitism that just about falls off the page of even the small amount of scholarly writing I’ve read, and especially from the introductory textbook we’re using in Bibliograpy [...]
I’m not much of a social person…I tend to just sort of sit back and wait for social connections to happen. This is not probably the best way to go about making friends and building community, but whatever.
This week at church, I found sitting in front of me my professor in the 19th-20th Century [...]
