My blogs

| Introduction | I love run-on sentences, but hate widows (the editorial kind). The content and style of my inner monologue largely depend upon the book I'm reading. I believe that transposition is a fate worse than death, and I'd like to be a manic pixie dream girl (with a secret inner life) when I grow up. |

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
I'd like to think that today's garden-variety fork is merely a mutation of one of its many relatives (pitch, garden, tuning), especially since the fork and spoon have since united in the throes of conjugal bliss to create The Spork, thus completing the Holy Trinity of Cutlery.
