So you think you can blog?

I stupidly decided to start blogging as if the world cares what I think. But living in Pittsburgh and being a grad student means I need to be a trendy hipster. So here I go....Starting a blog. Soon i'll be writing papers but I feel the need to have an outlet about politics of the day, pop culture that suits me, and generally being silly.

Also, before I get asked a million times, Grant does mean President Grant. I just find the line hilarious because it crosses star wars (which I was once a huge fan of) with my historical love affair with reconstruction and beyond. I'll try to update daily if not, atleast three times a week seems about right. I'm not cool enough to be Amanda Marcotte over at Pandagon but I will try to pop my thoughts up here for all to see. Then vigorously deny them if ever caught.
