Bri says hello

First official Churro Friday post!

I thought I'd do sort of an informal intro before I start out blogging around here, and a little more about what this is for. I'm Brianna (hi!). I paired up with Gordon over here to start this blog. I have my own personal blog still hanging around and kicking, but I really felt like I needed a venue to talk about more non-personal-life issues (as opposed to the equally enjoyable but less intellectually stimulating lists about my day at work and the kinds of sandwiches I like to eat). I described this to Gordon as a sort of "intellectual repository" where all my thoughts about issues and current events that pile up in my head can be expressed somehow. (I know that's not really evident in a blog named "Churro Friday," but.....) Plus, Gordon and I have been getting a little tired of Xanga lately (where our personal blogs are hosted) and this seemed like a pretty good way to start afresh.

So what are some of the things I might be talking about here?
Well I have pretty well-rounded interests (I think) but I'm pretty interested in media affairs (especially political censorship and freedom of speech issues), international affairs/human rights, Asian-American issues, film, musicals, literature/poetry, trashy TV shows and even trashier YouTube videos. I'm sure there's more but I can't think of many right now.

It's sort of late and I hardly ever get enough sleep lately so I probably won't start a real post until tomorrow. But in the meantime --- hi! See you soon---
