Houston, we have contact...

Call me Midwestern, but blogs always carried an narcissistic stink to them. It's the same sort of problem that sending out photos of yourself for Christmas gifts--it sort of says "look what a wonderful person I am." It's a loaded thought, and likely one incorrect. With that in mind, here I am typing out my wonderfulness. Not that this was my intent; sloth is a more accurate focus. I'm a lazy communicator and I can't keep up with all the folks I ought to be keeping up with. This blog, then, hopes to communicate some of what stumbling through a graduate program in Idaho is like.

I'm also traveling to Korea soon, and again I thought this would be cheaper than buying prints of photos for folks. It should help communication abroad: I hate mass e-mails but this format seems okay, so I try not to think about the logic.

I'll be posting some photos of Boise soon because I've grubbed my paws on my brother's digital camera and I need to make sure I can operate it without caveman-style grunting. I'll try to save that for counting on my fingers or holding an apple between my first and second toes.
