| Introduction | Oh, hello! I am the trashy librarian because I like to recycle/compost. Not because was a resident archivist at The Center for Sex and Culture Library/Archive in San Francisco. I am still moved by information sources and how society interprets the various electronic/analog information around us or as I put it, Information Interpretation (I.I.) I used to blog about trash and take pictures of it @ http://trashwatcher71.wordpress.com/ I got a BA in Behavioral Science from the Metropolitan State University of Denver which gave me a solid background in the Social Sciences. My minor was Education and later I realized I'm great at teaching others to have to retrieve information. I have been always fascinated with what to do with all the images, information, books, movies, and music I came across. To make sense out of my world, I drew and went to the library a lot. I used the encyclopedia set to draw things. By 12, I had gone through just about all the articles in my World Book Encyclopedia. At 13, I found comics and started drawing my own. Recently, in COVID times, I' revisiting the very thing that had kept me going: the information around me and drawing/writing about it. |

| Favorite Music | I like Indie music. But, who calls it "indie" these days? I do love Lounge/Electronica...I have some Tosca, Boards of Canada, DJ Sasha...like that... |
| Favorite Books | I loved Thomas Hardy's "Tess of D'Ubervilles" heh... "The Scarlet Letter, " "Madame Bovary, " and Tolstoy's "Ana Karenina." {I am re-reading Madame Bovary not for its story but for the way it is written. Beautiful words.} Secretly, I read all the V. Anderson "Heaven" series... |
