Reasons.

思い立ったが吉日。
Omoitatta ga kichijitsu.

To put it really roughly, it means 'if you think of doing something, do it right away (on that day)'. What we learned today in class was be responsible, be a purple cow, and start a blog.

So, I'll start a blog.

To give fair warning, I'll post a mix of English and Japanese (because that's just how I roll) in terms of both content and topic. I will occasionally succumb to unintelligible blabber and nonsense. There will be lots of children's content involved. I will also wax poetic about food and books.

I still don't know where this will go, but let's see for now.
