About me

Occupation Educatrix Journeywoman
Location Formerly Istanbul; now Shanghai
Introduction You can more reliably find me over at www.ephemeraanddetritus.com where I'm not blocked by the Great Firewall. Chronically footloose and still away, after so many years of trying to veer back towards Canada to a job stocking shelves at Ikea and leading a normal settled life with new furniture, a car, a pension, and a yard. After over a decade away, it looks like it ain't happening anytime soon. Any suggestions for breaking the cycle are appreciated.
Interests New places, new ideas, books, music, a good thali, a decent cup of coffee, shoelessness, greenery, fresh cherries, deserts
Favorite Movies Lost in Translation, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset, Yes

Because the cedars in forests come in large, intact trees and not in conveniently spiced chip form. The moths yearn for the days when everything didn't come prepackaged in disposable, bite sized pieces.
