new year, new blog!

So, I can almost say that this is one of my new year's resolutions. I love them. Even when I don't stick with them. I hope this one works. This is the best way for me to share my thoughts with myself, and the occasional web spy or friend.

I am going to dedicate this blog to my time in Brazil while doing my research. I hope to get more motivated to get my notes, thoughts, ideas, photos, videos, scraps, compositions, complaints, etc. (not that I actually have all those things...) into a somewhat orderly fashion.

The point is to write... and write...

Please feel free to comment, criticize, insult, praise, or otherwise adulate me.
