"...therefore, be bold."

The tumblelog of an ["independent scholar" and "student of the world" (i.e. a confessed lifelong lit. nerd taking time off from school)] undergraduate currently attending university and residing in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Interests include: Classics (i.e. ancient Greek and Latin), Shakespeare, American History, Continental Philosophy, Modernist poetry, Historical Linguistics (of the Proto-Indo-European variety), Literary Criticism and Theory, mysticism, Fine Art, Anglicanism and Catholicism, Technology, Baroque music, drinking coffee/tea/wine/scotch, wasting time online, and making stupid jokes. Pipes and tobacco are delightful too. Apparently I have a thing for gals reading but hey, that's cool.

You'll here mostly find links to news articles. Occasionally a pretty picture. Sometimes an inebriated anecdote. Read, enjoy. Feel free to leave comments (via disqus).
