About Me

I have recently finished graduate school at Zembla University, where I became a doctor of fancy book-learnin’ and figured out how to live without sunshine for ten months a year. Currently, I am living far, far away from Zembla, in a small apartment in the small town of New Wye, where I began my First Real College Teaching Job about a year ago. The whippersnappers are equally intolerable here, it’s just that they’re clad in khaki and Topsiders instead of Polarfleece and Timberlands.

I like dogs, books, whiskey, shoes, and sushi. I hate being sticky, being cold, and being told I am wrong. I dream of one day having the perfect reading chair in my office and a fenced-in area outside where I will train my army of dachshunds.

About This Site

I began Zemblan Grammar in August, 2004 as a pretty place to write freely and anonymously about academics and teaching and occasionally grammar. I used to try to be funnier, but now I mostly just complain. Oh, and I also swear a lot, so if you don’t like filthy language, it would be best if you would fuck right the fuck off.

When browsing the archives, you’ll only get five posts at a time. Use the navigation bar at the top of the main column, with “older” and “newer” links, to see more. For some reason I can’t make all the posts in a given month (or category, or whatever) display all together on one page.

The site is powered by WordPress using a modified version of the K2 theme (which is a very lovely theme indeed - blame any ugliness or malfunction on my crappy CSS skills) and hosted by HostICan.
