Salutations

I'm calling my blog The Busybody by way of irony. Bloggers are "busybodies" of sorts, after all, meddling into affairs and commenting on anything they please, so it strikes me as cynically appropriate. It's also a way of laughing at myself, since busybodies actually irritate me to no end.

This is my first shot at blogging, so we'll see how it goes. I'll be reviewing subjects as diverse as early Christian history, the Crusades, fantasy literature, film, contemporary events -- and, of course, any "dirty gossip" for the obsession of other busybodies out there in the blogosphere.
