Get Along Gang

Remember when I used to be so good about updating this blog on a daily basis? I'd be downright mental about it. Setting up entries to automatically publish if I were going away on a trip.

I haven't abandoned that level of effort entirely. I've just been focused on script writing and deadlines recently.

Also, I find it vaguely off-putting when someone I know says, "By the way, I found your blogs..." Because it suggests they were specifically searching for me online.

I don't give this url out left and right. People out there stumble upon it organically, hopefully because of content and not because—for one reason or another—they're looking me up. You think I have a lot of time on my hands because I keep up this blog? Well, what's it say about you if you're the one stalking me online...?!

Forgive me. I don't mean "you". (Unless I do, in which case you know who you fucking are.)

Thing is, this isn't exclusively a pop culture blog (quick recap: loved FAST FIVE, loathed THOR, "SURVIVOR" is a real bore this season) and as such it gets complicated trying to write to such a strange audience of perfect strangers, friends, enemies and frenemies. And sometimes, honestly, the effort isn't worth it to me. I started this as a lark back in 2002 (!) and it's evolved into a nice little plot of beachfront property where I can draw pictures in the sand. Alternately serious and frivolous.

Sometimes it works best when I try to forget about the people who may be reading it.
