I know it sounds a bit conceited to name a blog after oneself and moreover to make oneself the arbiter of "cool." But rest assured I'm no haughty hipster, just a graduate student in English who has come to enjoy many new things of late and wants to share them with friends and interested strangers. A graduate student nonetheless, I might occasionally verge into snarkiness and negativity, but my main goal here is to convey pleasure, perhaps even some pleasure from within snarky. Welcome aboard and please, please feel free to comment--
Yours,
Ben
