I should have known I'd leave this blank....

So what does it say about the sanity of this having a blog idea that I'm stressing about it already? Not too seriously, mind you, but I'm not exactly the most html-savvy person out there (check my other webpage for proof, all you doubters), and was hoping I could slowly build it up and tinker with it. But in another demonstration of my internet wizardry, I failed to realize that those of you I well-meaningly linked to on the right there would immediately become aware of this and check out the humble digs. Leaving me feeling as though I just moved in to town and invited everyone over for dinner without first unpacking the kitchen, and am trying to pass off the fast food I hastily purchased as homecooked goodness.

Speaking of which, I lost a rather dorky bet (apparently '\twiddle' is not an acceptable tex command. I figured it had to be a bastardization of 'tilde', but it was too near and dear to my heart to imagine a world in which tex doesn't recognize it. Sigh.) and so have to bake an apple pie for the office. And while I'm not entirely out of place in my kitchen, I fall rather closer to the ramen eating grad student side of the spectrum than certain other grad student bloggers I read. In short, it'll be an adventure, and you'll hear more about it (though I don't imagine I'll have the pictures. That's at least like Blogging 103, right?) And perhaps all of this finding me through I link I made stuff will continue and a Crescat foodie will drop by with like, a recipe or advice or something.

There. I've at least set the chairs up around the table now, and eased my hosting anxiety enough so that I can concentrate I what I'm going to say to my advisor tomorrow. But I am glad you've found me, although I don't think I will be adding any more links until I've finished decorating.
