New Beginnings.

So. New blog. 

I've grown somewhat disenchanted with LiveJournal, so I'm making the switch to Blogger. We'll see how it goes.

This will hopefully present itself as a better forum for me to explore and decipher much of what perplexes me in this terribly, terribly topsy-turvy world we live in. I'm as of yet unsure what I'll write. Probably a little bit of everything. The focus will not doubt jump from Culinary, to Sartorial, to Political, to Historical, to God-only-knows what else. But I like that. That's how my mind works, so my blog might as well follow the pattern. 

I suppose, in the off chance that someone I don't know starts to read this blog, and introduction is in order:

I am 21. I am (sort of) a sophomore at the University of Southern California, majoring in Anthropology. I read...a lot. Basically, aside from working three days a week, it's about all I do. I'm sure when I go back to school this summer, that will change, but I hope not too drastically. I wouldn't call myself a "popular" kid. I've never been one really. We academic types tend to get the short end of that stick, especially here in LA. I do, however, see myself as "in the know." I suppose being analytical, and slightly marginalized, makes that a priority of mine. Rather than being in the crowd, I take advantage of my position to study it. Its strange customs, its trends and its foibles. At least, that's what I'd like to think. 

I very much enjoy cooking, and this blog will no doubt serve as a forum for me to showcase recipes, successes and failures on that front. (If I can figure out how to upload pictures...for a Nerd, I'm not all that tech-savvy.)  I also enjoy style, so I hope to follow the trends, albeit on a much, much smaller scale than say, The Sartorialist, whom I hold in very high regard. 

Music as well, will no doubt take up a sizable portion of my thought process, so I've no doubt that will also make the occasional appearance here.

Well, I suppose that's all for now.
