My postgraduate education (PhD) is in historical linguistics, with emphases in Germanic and Indo-European. My interests beyond philology (in a chiastic representation of my interests in terms of decreasing and increasing zaniness) include:


 * A preteristic view of eschatology
 * Compact theory
 * The TV series LOST
 * The Tolkien/Lewis/Barfield discussion on myth
 * The Muppets

If you're checking this page to see if I'm some sort of nutcase, let me assure you that I'm not a fruitcake. I just look, smell, and taste like one.
