Bio:1. About

"I rise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savour) it. This makes it hard to plan the day." —E.B. White

Labels that apply to me: thirty-something, spouse, lawyer, reader, fan, reviewer, home owner, dog owner.

Caveat about labels: "You will read my life in phosphors on a screen, or glowing letters scrolling up the inside of your eye. And when you reach the end, you will lie down again in your indifferent dark apartment, with the neon splashing watercolor blues across your face, and you will know a little less about me than you did before." —Raphael Carter, The Fortunate Fall

(Well, okay, mostly I just like the quote. I'm nowhere near as dramatic as that.)

The journal title is a paraphrase of Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al," in a similar spirit.

(Or, see these variants on a biography.)

I also write at my book log, Outside of a Dog (syndicated as [info]insidedog).

Our household's book catalog is on LibraryThing.

My bookmarks (starting in September 2007) are on del.icio.us.

The journal style is by [info]rilina; see this post for more detail.

2. Policies

Reading and being read: anything public is fair game for reading and linking; no need to ask. If you feel inclined to introduce yourself, you can do so in this post or wherever else seems appropriate. I read via my "friends" page and manage it accordingly. I also browse other journals occasionally, but please feel free to point out things of interest from LJs not on my list.

Comments: comments from people without LJ accounts are welcome, but please either sign in with OpenID or leave a name/handle/other identifying information, to facilitate discussion.

Spoilers: DON'T. No references of any kind to any episode/book/issue/whatever of a work that I haven't seen myself, not even hints like "this will be important later." I will do whatever I feel necessary, from screening and ROT13'ing comments to banning commenters, in response to spoilers.

Icons: made by me unless otherwise credited. Ones in my LJ Scrapbook may be used or modified as long as I'm credited (commenting is nice too).

In case of emergency: a locked post with my RL contact info.
