I've been keeping a journal of reactions to books, movies, and albums for years, and have decided to move that enterprise onto this blog, for two reasons. First, it's my standing policy to investigate phenomena I find both attractive and repellent, e.g. twelve-tone music, crawfish, and blogging. Second, I imagine I'll press myself to think through my reactions a bit more thoroughly if I'm aware there's a possibility, however remote, that others might read them. That last said, I pivot to caveat: these entries are not careful critiques but knee-jerk reactions, written in the immediate aftermath of reading, watching, or listening, and so are certain to contain dumbnesses, solecisms, and regrettables. They are what they are; I stand by them only inasmuch as I would by a drunk friend.
