Fun quote from the not-so-fun night of thesis writing:
On the doorway of Doctor Zacharias Ursinus at Heidelberg, circa 1590:
“My friend, whoever you are, if you come here, please either go away again, or give me some help in my studies.”
-Fox-Bourne’s Life of Sidney, qtd. in Howard 43.
This might have to go on the door of my study carrel.

The author of Snark on the Side is not your average run-of-the-millennial generation.
Jen is a contradiction in terms: a graceful klutz, a smart blond, a math-savvy English degree-holder, a southern liberal, and an adult amateur equestrian who doesn’t match her saddle pads.
Snark on the Side is a work in progress, born out of years of rambling email newsletters and anthropomorphized Christmas letters, small town observations, and the ever-present irony of pursuing a career with a degree in English literature.
Thanks for visiting!
