Here at last.

Fun facts about me: I love to write. I'm a lousy correspondent. I spend way too much time in front of the computer.

What does that add up to? A blog, of course. I've been avoiding starting a blog for the last year or two because I thought it would become a huge timewaster. Then I realized that I am more than capable of wasting time without a blog, and at least this way I'll be helping others waste time, too. Isn't that generous of me? Plus, my mother has committed to learning to read my blog if I'll write it, and that's no small promise.

So tune in for updates on my life, my pets, my seemingly endless PhD, and other random musings. In the meantime, click here for cuteness.
