From the Blogosphere

I have lots to say about Hidden Palms, which is a summer fling worth a look. (It was created by Kevin Williamson of Dawson's fame and, with full episodes available for streaming on the CW's site, you can tune in whenever the spirit and general dearth of good options on the tube moves you.) But I've been studying all day and don't feel like being coherent for more than a few lines. Instead, a quick hit of interesting links:

• A nice Q&A with Alexis Bledel regarding her new movie and leaving Rory behind.
  
• I definitely want to see Keri Russell's movie about pie (ok, I'm sure it's not really about pie, but the website is). I'll watch Felicity in anything.
• An interesting essay by the show-runner for the best show on TV ... Friday Night Lights of course.
• What I'm reading (when I'm not studying): "The Billion-Dollar Kiss: The Kiss that Saved Dawson's Creek and Other Adventures in TV Writing" by Jeffrey Stepakoff, former staff writer for ER and producer for Dawson's.
  

The Day Without Email

N's hosting service has been having server trouble, so I've had an email-free day. A very odd phenomenon indeed. But much more palatable than a day with no Internet . . . or no TV. No email just means they can't reach me. I can still read what they have to say. And I suppose that if I blog, they (you?) can even read what I have to say. Wierd.

Inaugural Post

So I've decided it's time to have my own blog. Seriously. I spend far too much time in the blogosphere now to not have my own blog in which to post various ramblings and links to things I run across on the Web. Plus, I'm on break from my last semester of law school as of tomorrow at 12 [or 12:30 depending upon how incompetent our new registrar turns out to be in getting my Tuesday exam started on time] and I'll probably never have so much free time again.

On this blog, I plan to talk about things I like to do... the chief things I care about at this point in time include raising a three year old, watching the Patriots (and other NFL gossip), and watching TV shows (especially ones that will make my friends and many of my readers wince -- who cares, I love 'em so deal with it!). I also plan to blog a bit about politics -- particularly as Barack's bid for prez gets underway (or not... we'll see)... he intrigues me. Despite my interest in politics and other things "serious," if you want to read my blog, you will have to deal with the fact that I will often post about Survivor or the O.C. or even *gasp* One Tree Hill if the spirit moves me. At other times, I will post about skiing with a three year old. Thus, I cannot assure you that you will enjoy all of my posts... but it's my blog... and I'll watch reality TV and teen soaps if I want to!
