To begin

It occurred to me recently that it might be nice to have a place to use my excess verbal energy (this is my favorite new phrase--I like to think it's a rather accurate description of my particular brand of paper-writing ADD). I've gotten into the bad habit of using twitter for this, which results in about seven tweets in two hours when frustrated with and procrastinating on paper writing. So in deference to all five people who read my twitter feed, I thought I'd give myself a slightly larger and less-read space to rant (most likely reserved for my frustration while writing business papers). And ramble (I will once again have a painfully boring job this summer). And ruminate on occasion (I am a philosophy major after all... I need to work on ways to completely lose intro students in deep, complex philosophical wanderings!). But in any case, don't expect anything too deep. Oh, and anything's game--expect a little philosophy, a dash of fashion, a hint of nonsensical streamofconsciousness wanderings, and maybe a dab of the inspired (not likely).

So in any case, forgive me my obsessive use of parenthesis, ellipses, and THE DASH (thank you, Ms. Sprague). Hopefully I can amuse you a little. At any rate, at least my excess verbal energy is safely dispersed!
