pardon me miss, but i've never done this with a real, live blog

it had to happen sometime, right? don't think that this will change things. i'll still have nothing interesting to say, it'll just look more interesting around here while i bore you. i did take the time to go back and post all of my rants from 2008. not sure if i'll bother to go back to previous years. we'll just see how it goes from here.
