And So It Begins...

It would seem logical that for my first post, I ought to explain the title for the blog. In a nutshell, my two favorite movie genres tend to be zombie/monster movies and Jane Austen style period pieces. My husband seems to think that this makes for an interesting contrast, and I feel as though the title, 'Zombie and Prejudice', expresses this dichotomy rather nicely. Lucky for me, it wasn't taken already by somebody else who thought of it first. Like most people, I have a wide range of interests and influences in my life, so I am hoping that this blog will not fit too neatly into a ready-made category, such as mommy-blog, knitting-blog, book-blog, movie-blog, food-blog, outdoor enthusiast-blog, etcetera. I guess that we will find out soon enough how that works out for me, assuming that I don't grow bored of the entire process, thus allowing the blog to suffer from an premature death caused by neglect. At any rate, I remain hopeful at this point that the blog will fare better than my garden herbs did, but I suppose we will see.

Anyhow, I will attempt to keep entries on the shorter side, such that updating the thing is something that I can conceivably fit into a busy working mom schedule without it resulting in the sort of all-consuming time black hole that online activities invariably seem to end up becoming for me. I will talk about a variety of random topics and interests that happen to be on my mind at the time. Probably, no one will give a damn or read it;I can accept that. The idea is mostly that the process of writing the thing will be cathartic in some way, reduce stress, blow off steam, give me something to do after the monkey goes to sleep, and perhaps be a source of amusement and embarrassment in later years, to be read ironically on shows that highlight the inane things that we wrote in our younger years. Thankfully, I destroyed my childhood journals long ago, but thanks to the internet, any embarrassing missteps in this blog can live on forever in cyberspace. I guess that's life. Enough rambling though, this blog entry is now over.
