Oh, hey. Amanda here. Patrick is busy eating smoked oysters. I told him I was also getting hungry, but that was pretty much just so I could get him off the phone. Oh shit - hey Patrick. Forgot you might be reading this.

Anywho, blogging. When I was a journalism student, a collegue and I co-wrote an article for our student magazine, Glue. This article was written in a pro-con format, my collegue arguing against blogging, and me arguing in support of it. (NOTE: this was back in 2004, when blogging had not reached anywhere near the level of popularity it is at right now). I can honestly say that everything I wrote in that piece was absolute bullshit. Even now, I can't honestly say I fully agree with blogging. For the most part, they're pretty much an outlet for people who crave some form of attention. Nevertheless, they can be horribly entertaining, sometimes resourceful, and I now too have been sucked into the world of blogging myself.

Seeing as this is my first post, I feel as though I should give myself some sort of introduction. However, I feel my section of the "About me" sums me up quite nicely. This blog is pretty much a filler for me until an editor for some high-brow publishing (oh, hey New Yorker, sup?) realizes that I'm so clever and comical, that I should have my own column.

Well, it's about that time. Hopefully this entry isn't a complete blog fail. I fail quite often. That should have been noted in the 'About me'.
