Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!

Out with the boilerplate, in with the new, or something to that effect.

I had sort of hoped to write something more inspiring for my first entry here, but I managed to sign up for this blog tonight almost by accident. I wanted to see what would happen when you got to the domain sign-up page, and before I knew it, boom, here I was. (There’s something appealing about that stumble, I’m not going to lie.) What I have on my mind at the moment is tripartite: 1) I have eaten a really weird and mixed-up dinner tonight. The pineapple may not have been all that wise, but the brie was delicious, and I am fast becoming an addict. 2) Dear God, I meant to do more cleaning tonight. 3) I’m getting a mole removed tomorrow morning.

I’m oddly sensitive about this. When I was a young teen, I had two moles removed by a real hack — and I do mean that: the scar tissue he left makes it uncomfortable to me to wear control top anything — and I really liked those moles. I think they’re cute and charming. But this particular mole, about three and a half inches above my left elbow, has been worrisome for a couple of months, and better a scar than, you know, cancer. Still, I’ll miss it. Clearly I’m not very good with letting go of things.

Despite the pineapple, I’m feeling myself start to crash a bit, so it’s off for the evening and time to cuddle up with Season 2 of Fringe, which I’m viewing for the first time and loving, despite how hellaciously gross it is. Tomorrow, assuming something horrendous doesn’t happen with my arm, we’ll get this blog filled out a little. Well, that and the cleaning, which is an ongoing task in these parts.

In conclusion, yes, world: hello.
