my first time

so...i've never done this before. can you tell? you can, can't you? how embarassing.

anyway, trinity (my wife) cajoled me into doing this in imitation of her. well, maybe she didn't exactly cajole me...more like merely suggested the idea in passing. anyway, i'm sure my blog won't be as stylish as hers, but what can one expect? she has a degree in the design-based major of architecture while i'm a grad student in physics. that's right, physics...a field synonymous with pale, emaciated, bespectacled guys who've lost touch with reality and have no life outside the world of sci-fi books and computers. personally, i'm offended by this stereotype. i mean, yeah, i'm a pale, emaciated guy who has lost touch with reality and spends my time reading sci-fi books and playing on my computer, but i haven't worn glasses since the fifth grade, damn it!

well, i think i've probably made a big enough fool of myself for now. the comforting thing is that i've only done so in front of the select few that get to read this blog (translation: in front of the only person who will ever care enough to read it, my wife). more rambling later.
