I’m going to be straight with you: a blog was about the last thing I ever expected to have. You know how blogs usually are, people write about the mundane events in their lives, and then their even more boring friends read them…oh boy!
BUT, I’ve been reading some really good blogs lately (see the blog roll), and I wanted to see what would happen if I threw one together. That being said, if you’re looking for mundane events, you’ve come to the wrong place (though, as a grad student, I could probably give you some of the most mundane. How about: “July 4th. Today I read five chapters of a book. I also ate a sandwich, and watched a re-run of Oprah.”) My intention is to create a space where I can indulge my academic proclivities: namely, eighteenth-century literature and the like.
My plan is to write a post now and then about things I’m working on and thinking about, and hopefully I can get some comments that can help me think about things in a way that either helps my arguments along, or changes how I’m looking at things. Feel free to add your two cents. Feel especially free if you can trace my title’s reference. I’ll post something soon, I swear.
