What's in a name?

For those of you who are wondering, the name neonfoxtongue comes from the line -"Like a neon fox tongue lapping at the powdered bones of space chickens" in Tom Robbins'  novel Skinny Legs and All - a sentence that blew me away one morning over eight years ago while on the subway in Toronto. I was commuting to my summer job, which, though interesting, was located in the somewhat soulless financial district of the city, and the sentence made me feel so alive, so awed by its imagery and creativity that I never forgot it.

I don't expect this blog to elicit the same reaction in others of course.  Instead, it's a reminder to me of the importance of expressing myself in new and interesting ways. 

Plus it sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? ;)
