People in my part of the internet like to give their blogs silly names, like "Gardens" or "Websites" or "Wikiweblogardenite", so this is the the blong; where my thoughts belong!

Back in high school, I did an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) on fictional languages in science fiction and fantasy (fiction). As part of this I had to write a fairly long essay, and to prepare/practice for that I wrote a serios of blog-style book reviews on various things that I read as part of that process.
I still need to convert them over to my new site...
