At A Loss

Harwell had one of these blogs once. Filmslack. Was quite the insightful bit of cinematic commentary. I used to read it every day, even when he was discussing movies I'd never seen or even heard of. Such was the nature of his writing brilliance. He kept me interested even when I didn't care.

And then he stopped. Citing Blog-burnout (Blogout), he quit. It was too much, he said, trying to write something up to his usual level of brilliance every single day. And, despite the clamor of the masses (not huddled and not yearning to be free, but masses nonetheless), he hasn't returned since.

And Fatty McFatFat has one too. There's even a link to it over to the right. But his doesn't really count. Firstly, because he thinks the dude on Fantasy Island is Mr. York. And, secondly, because most of it isn't new. Though his material is good, it's recycled from his time in Oxford (the one in Ohio, not the smart one). And he updates almost as sporadically as I do.

Which is not to say I don't have material. I've got a 3/4 finished rant on the Cincinnati commercialization of God that I'm planning on putting up. I was going to do a review of the movie The Producers but that boiled down to one word - NO. (it was, quite possibly, the most unwatchable movie starring Will Ferrell and Uma Thurman's body I've ever seen). And there's a billion and one other thoughts running through my head. And one or two million of them might even be good. But I'm also trying to work on my novel (Chapter One up at neverfinish2.blogspot.com - link at right. Chapter Two coming soon!), a treatment Harwell and I were tossing around, several short stories, and all the while playing Daddy Day Care (not the Eddie Murphy fiasco) to a six month old who refuse to nap.

I guess, to make a long story longer, what I'm trying to say to my loyal readers (who I feel oddly obligated to despite there being only two of you), is that I'm not going to Harwell this (hey Shawn, I just used your name as a verb.). And maybe, if the plan to get the kid on a schedule holds once we get back from NY, I might even be slightly more regular (in updating, I mean... my regularity otherwise is between fiber, God, and me - and those chips we bought with Olestra in them).

Feel free, as Harwell says, to discuss.

Nothing New

OK, so despite it being four days since my last update, I've got nothing new today. Not really. Over at Stinky and the Bean (see link to right), there's a rather massive missive concerning my wedding anniversary (yesterday) and my being an idiot. Good read.

Tomorrow will be the first day I'm not daddy day care this week, so look for something then. Hopefully. Or, Harwell could try and spark another "conversation". I replied last time, but then he disappeared.
