First Entry

I haven't decided yet whether to keep my journal here or on Blogspot. Until I do I'll post a few entries here, a few entries there, maybe some entries both places. It is nice to have comments enabled, so here is nice, but I've got six months of entries over there, so hmmm, I dunno.

I'm mildly amused to see how many/few people share my "interests" (on my profile page).

0: afi silver theatre, boston house, dc filmfest, ferenc santa, r austin freeman, world fantasy convention
1: clarion workshop, stratford shakespeare festival
2: arnold bennett
5: readercon
10: aki kaurismäki
17: anthony trollope, rafael sabatini
29: neurontin
41: ken macleod
42: worldcon, samuel delany
45: arthur conan doyle
47: lord dunsany
56: pamela dean
60: dupont circle
73: aeschylus
78: george bernard shaw
90: ursula k. le guin
123: al gore
163: carnegie mellon
172: netflix
206: connie willis
271: vegetarian cooking
312: howard dean
348: stephen sondheim
383: junkyard wars
870: revolutionary girl utena
886: washington dc
999: buffy the vampire slayer, comic books, george orwell, jane austen, science fiction, shakespeare

Apparently 999 (or 1000, including me) is as high as it goes. I'm surprised more people are interested in Aeschylus than in Arthur Conan Doyle. (Sherlock Holmes gets 673 hits, but I like Doyle's other work too.)
