i really enjoy checking your blog from time to time because, for the most part, i like your writing style: it’s breezy, comfortable-with-itself, skillful, slightly edgy, and not too self-conscious. the problem for all of us is competition: there are so many things competing for attention that it’s impossible to keep up. whether you read blogs and write one, there’s always laundry to do and the dishwasher to unload. so, it’s difficult to squeeze novel, interesting, inventive writing into a blog every day. the brain starts to emit smoke and tiny sparks.

so, my suggestion is that you occasionally take a cue from the topical bloggers. pick something in the news that fires your imagination or gets you rightously indignent, and write your ‘editorial’ opinion about that in your daily feed. as much as i like your site – and as much as i miss it on weekends! – i also think you could let your readers know more about you … as opposed to your more predictable (albeit entertaining) commentary about some aspect of pop culture. you’d be infiltrating a larger world, connecting with issues that affect lots of people as opposed to a smaller audience that likes the way you write a movie review. my advice is think bigger; write yourself a ‘mission statement’; tackle issues – political, psychological, interpersonal, social … whatever. your devoted readership wants to learn more about what makes you tick. don’t let us down. we don’t handle disappointment well.

p.s. i did not proofread this comment, so i disavow any responsibility for errors in punctuation, grammar, or syntax. there shouldn’t be any.
