Just Because

So I've decided to come out of the blogger closet. My last name is not Jones (I know you are all shocked by this). It is Vittum. If you meet a Vittum, they are probably related to me. The name was shortened from Vieuxtemps (pronounced phonetically View Tem) at Ellis Island. Apparently Vieuxtemps was difficult to say. Yeah, like Vittum is any easier to pronounce (pronounced phonetically Vit (rhymes with Bit) Tum). It is usually pronounced (especially by telemarketers) as Bittum, Vytum.

On another note, I've decided to set up an Amazon wish list at the request of someone. If you are interested in seeing what makes my heart go pitter-patter in the world of books and DVDs, click here.
