Welcome to Ilion

i decided yesterday that i wanted a blog. i'm not entirely sure why--i've spent the last couple of years vaguely objecting to blogs as things that diminish the amount of time one spends talking to actual persons. At any rate, here i am--and here you are. As time passes, i hope to fill this empty virtual space with thoughts (virtual thoughts?) on books, film, music, and storytelling, thoughts on the lost City and the City hoped-for.

i'm glad you came, i hope you'll come back, and i look forward to talking to you through this strangely impersonal blog-thing. Welcome, friend, to Ilion.
