This blog gives me a place to write about some of things I really enjoy — music, movies, TV and books.  It’s really that simple.  (At least it is that simple now, though the mere fact that I have a blog may lead to blog creep down the road when I start writing about other random things.)

Don’t expect deep critical thinking or insights about life (though if you do run across either of those things, allow me to apologize in advance).  I just wanted a place to share some opinions about things I like (and if you’re taking the time to read these post, I’m assuming you might like too).

So, read on.

Oh, and definitely check out the the Lists From My Ipod section.  I really like stats and organization.  I can be a bit obsessive.  With more than 5000 songs on my Ipod, I figure there is a nearly infinite number of ways I can recombine them into pithy little lists of more-or-less 25 items (which should definitely keep me from doing many other useful things for the forseeable future).

Enjoy!
