| Introduction | Passionate about the strange, weird, mundane, and otherwise ignored nooks and crannies of our culture. Because I also harbor obsessive tendencies, it became necessary to parlay those passions into the pursuit of a career in academia. Besides, I was already totally bad ass at Trivial Pursuit and needed something to consume my life. I attend MountainTop University (MTU) which is a major shift from the SLAC where I did my undergrad. I'm already feeling the ridiculous largesse of the university setting and the requisite disorganization that comes with having to manage thousands of students. sigh. |
