This is the new home of my blog, a continuation of an old blog that I started in 2006, when I was a graduate student. At the time, blogs were fairly popular, and I wanted to have one, but was fairly sure that writing about “my thoughts” would later prove embarrassing (plus, I was already doing a lot of that on the email list-serve my friends had created). So instead, I decided to only write about books and movies. It would be especially useful, I thought, in helping me prepare for my PhD exams — I would record some thoughts about the 100+ books I needed to read, thus also cultivating a habit of writing. In the end, I wrote about almost none of them. Actually, looking back at the archives, I’m startled to find that I mostly wrote about movies (which I watched many of — I went to Doc Films almost every week, and that was an education in and of itself).
Anyhow, I’ve kept it up off and on over the years, and thankfully, it’s not too embarrassing.
And now it will move here, to a new corner of the internet, and hopefully continue a long and happy life…
