Greetings. ‘tis Joséphine. I’m 22 (not sure when that happened) and no longer socially awkward but still disliking that pesky thing known as social interaction. But really, you wouldn’t notice. I cover it up by dressing well and exercising my good listener skills.

I’m majoring in something I don’t quite understand (Russian and Eurasian studies), and I spend a lot of time dabbling in Gogology. Professors claimed I was destined for a brilliant career in literary studies but that’s not how it’s going to roll. Apparently Russian espionage and counter-espionage is hip in Canada right now and I plan on getting on that bandwagon.

I’m a sometimes-vegan. This is partially a by-product of being raised by one and not being able to afford ethically produced meat on a student budget. Actually that’s a lie. I could theoretically afford ethically sourced meat but a kilo of that = enough dollars to buy that Nars lip stuff I fancy or 3 dozen cookies or 2 vegan cheesecakes. Also, I tend to burn/destroy/ruin meals with meat that aren’t prepared in a slow cooker. Frankly, I just really enjoy the inventiveness of vegan recipes. It takes some serious brain work.

I used to do Lupin III scanlations when I had more time in life, and I may work on that again sometime soon. Who knows? 

Various mental preoccupations of mine that are hereby reflected in this blog include (but are not limited to):

• Doctor Who
• Vancouver Canucks
• 19th Century Russian Literature
• Food
• Fashion
• Existentialist garbage

Last words: I don’t like wearing pants.
