About Me

My photo
Oracle of Chappell St.
I'm not really an oracle. I can't tell the future. I don't even believe people can tell the future, except for situations that end in the words "I told you so". I am called the Oracle of Chappell Street, though, by my friends. This is because I have a freakishly good memory, not a third eye. It makes me excellent at Trivial Pursuit and Jeopardy and a pain to argue with. That's why this blog is called the Oracle of Chappell Street. It also sounds cool, in a geeky kind of way.
