At first, I conceived this blog as an online journal of sorts. But faced with the prospect of airing my daily trivialities so nakedly, I reconsidered -- and unfortunately left this space neglected.
With the new year coming, I decided to begin anew.
The revised idea began inauspiciously. It coalesced in my head during a conversation with a colleague over beers and cigarettes at no more (or no less) than Al's Garage in Las Vegas, Nev.
This blog will, however, be about subjects I do enjoy writing about: music, books and journalism. So get ready for posts ranging from my current fascination with Peter Gabriel-era Genesis to my battles with reading Charles Dickens' Bleak House (a grueling three months as of this post, with no foreseeable end in sight).
About Me
- Alex K. Fong
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
- I'm a 26-year-old visual journalist working for the Las Vegas Sun. I've worked at the San Jose Mercury News and attended the Poynter Institute as a fellow. In my spare time, I make music, write and do my best Gordon Ramsay impersonation in the kitchen -- that is, I use a lot of profanity beginning with the letter "f."
