Happy Birthday!

Today is my blog's first birthday! In the past year, the country has elected a new president, and I've crawled a little closer to my dissertation. Thank you for reading, and I will do my best to continue to bring you my (ahem) unique view on books, pop culture, and the world around us.

Going over my stats and the number of visits I have had to the blog, it might be interesting to note that the most popular pages on this blog (according to StatCounter.com) are:

• My first entry on "The World is a Beautiful Place"
• "Twilight Haters of the World Unite!"
• My second entry (done on 9/11/2008) on "The World is a Beautiful Place"

Thanks for a great year, and please stay tuned for more!
