Away we go

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and that may be so, but recent experience has convinced me that procrastination is its abusive father. Thus I find myself drafting a witty (comment below, please) first post for what will hopefully become an exciting endeavor instead of learning about the the ins ands outs of post-independence Africa. I'm sure, however, that there is a way that this blog can be spun into 6 or so credits with the blink of an eye(Journalism 523: Reflection in the Post-Information Era?) so that as Smears and I sit side by side at our matching computers the coming weeks of finals seem like only the merest hint of a storm. It is my humble wish that this blog will be a source of pleasure for all who pass by, or at the very least a hilarious exercise in inside-joke improvisation. Welcome and cheers!
