digression

[ontology]

In concurrence with Project Be More Awesome, today I woke early, cooked and ate a real breakfast (oatmeal!), went to the library to read the New York Times and ask about volunteering opportunities (the answer: "wait till the head librarian gets back at the end of the week"... sigh), played with my baby sister outside, simultaneously tried to nap and not to nap (sleep last night: not much; until a few hours ago I was still wandering around in a miasma), did some Actual Useful Things on the internet, and... did not write. Aaaaargh. (My poor novel!) However, I did set up my book review blog! Which all of you should go to right now and repeatedly, because I get paid for page-views... eventually. Introducing... Cabinet of Wonders. In which I review books (eventually), and discuss book-related culture, history, trade, and philosophy (...also eventually; look, it's my first day). Currently I am trying to figure out, um, what to write about for my first post. :/ Any suggestions?

(Today.com is a very ugly site, but I have done the best I can with it. Forgive me for any unsightliness in the colours; it's still a first draft, so to speak.)

(Also? I love you guys.) 

(Also also, before the parentheses manage to overwhelm me and suck my soul out through my ears, Brooke Waggoner is bloody amazing.)

HOW EXCITED AM I? VERY EXCITED.

I love love love your "about" page, and that you used the word ontology. ♥ Oh, Madeleine.

That first 'about' post amuses and intrigues me. I think anyone who read it would gladly return for more.

AND DUDE I was just listening to Brooke Waggoner today. Am trying to obtain some songs. :P

Hurray! I am excited to follow these wonders!

On my brother's blog he has a schedule--theology on Thursday and pop culture on Monday and whatever--which isn't actually adhered to very much but which does give him some kind of structure to strive towards. Perhaps you could have something like a Saturday book review, a Wednesday commentary on covers you love/hate, a Monday poetry feature, a Thursday guest book recommendation, and so on? /unsolicited advice

Love it: loved the intro, loved the first post, love the layout/appearance... I am v. v. excited to read more. Go you!

For you and for S, I have both Heal For The Honey and Fresh Pair of Eyes EP. I will upload them to mediafire if you want them. I also feel slightly smug that I knew about Brooke Wagoner before you. It is such a rare occurrence.
