It's a blog!

For days, I've had nothing but pithy phrases running through my mind that I've been dying to share - and now that I'm actually writing, I find I can't come up with anything more original than "Wow, my first post (hyuk hyuk)."

(Insert Clitus the Slack-Jawed Yokel theme song here.)

What can you expect to find at "Eschew Obfuscation"?

• Musings about the vagaries of being a "mature" journalism student, surrounded by sweet young things who are all far cooler than me.
• The odd poem - NOT written by me, thank you very much. No self indulgent crap here! (Well, no self-indulgent poetry, anyway.) And I promise not to inflict all of "The Waste Land" on you.
• Whatever the hell else is supposed to go on a blog: Rants. Raves. Vague notions of coolness.

For now, let me recommend a couple of things: Boneclouds by Mason Jennings (er - that's a CD. I believe he's got a MySpace page.) If you're in the mood for kiddy fun, any of the I Spy computer games. And www.aldaily.com - a great site for interesting articles and links to the world's major news organizations.
