| Introduction | Introductions are so hard. Like, you have to condense your personality, and to what? What defines you - age, gender, location, career, hobbies, favorite color? All I can say is, on my profile are some lists of favorites, and also a random sampling of my various interests. Infer what you will from those, and hopefully they're stimulating enough to convince you to keep reading my blog! Maybe even leave a comment! And oh yeah, before I forget, the URL of this blog comes from a Kafka quote. Asteres planetai means "wandering stars" in Latin, and it also has something to do with Tarot cards but I forget just what. |
