God, it’s really happening, isn’t it? Fine — an #introduction, since we may be here a while:

I’m Brendan. I live in #WestPhilly, where I freelance as a #Chinese to English #translator while looking for a better way of keeping ribs from meeting spine. I escaped a #PhD and somehow still enjoy early modern Chinese fiction / #明清小說, as well as #cats, #villanelles, and a wide variety of #nouns. When I see #hashtags interspersed with text, I automatically read them in an obnoxious #JerryLewis voice.
