My Aspiration

One day I hope to be as cool as Sarah Vowell.

I first discovered her in the DVD extras to the Incredibles (she gave voice to Violet), where the interview with her just cracked me up. Then I read her book Assassination Vacation, which is erudite, funny, and subtly subversive all at the same time. And now she's writing excellent op-eds for the New York Times.

When I grow, I want to be just like her. Except taller.
