So this is how I make a blog entry.

Fascinating. I don't know whether I'll appreciate this idea venue or not, but since I might, I thought I may as well set it up. By way of introduction to the blog, the following is a non-exhaustive list of topics one might reasonably expect me to write about sometimes, if I decide to use this blog:

• Epistemology
• Harry Potter
• What it is like to be a graduate student
• Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas
• Civil liberties
• The San Francisco 49ers
• Utilitarianism
• The American political structure
• Jokes which I find funny
• Monopoly
• Criticism of dumb things in print
• Buffy: the Vampire Slayer
• The unfortunate decline of the Disney cartoon musical
• Having shorter hair than I'm used to having
• Coffee
• Other things

Ok, so the list will probably turn out to be exhaustive after all. A word of warning for those who don't know my non-academic writing style: long, awkward, and difficult sentences amuse me, and I rarely go out of my way to avoid them. Furthermore, I expect to tend to write posts in order, starting at the beginning, and continuing to the end. I therefore may occasionally not really address the topic I'd set out to address at the post's beginning, and will almost definitely occasionally engage myself, with a surprising amount of thoroughness, in tangential ideas.
