My dear friend and co-blagger John Petrie has opened up shop on his own personal website. It can be found here. Add it to your bookmarks, heathens!
In the short time that his blag has been live, Petrie has already surpassed me in post count, which feels me with shame. As mentioned in my previous post, I have been doing a horrible job with this whole relaunch of my site. In less than a month, the content is already stale and boring.
One of my great cruxes is that every time I wish to post something, I always feel like it has to be something phenominal and grandiose. I’ll pour over the words for hours, and once I reach the inevitable point in my draft in which I feel like I cannot properly convey what I am trying to say with the right amount of humor or flourish, I get frustrated and take a break, often never to return. For instance, I have a draft sitting on here that reviews the Watchmen movie. I began that bastard of a post shortly after watching the movie - that was mid March!
So I shall take a note from Petrie. While I’ll still aspire to occasionaly post a work that would be considered an opus by all, I’ll also try to post small simple bits, even if the words are nothing more than “I fucking love me some pie.”
On that note - I fucking love me some pie!
I’m still waiting for my answers from AskKel, young man. How am I supposed to go about my daily bidnass without your words of infinite wisdom? So, you either you bring back what the people want or else…[insert tiny fist of fury here].
Sarah, you should read the story about Kelly in the Stories section of my website to get a taste of what you’re truly missing out on by being deprived of Ask Kel.
And Kelly’s launching of this site is the major proximal factor that pushed me to finally pick a domain name, buy my new web space (for $0 for the first year, it turns out), and migrate the files that existed on my hard drive to the intertubes. And to look up a workaround for an aesthetic issue that affected both our blag and my new site that I had been unable to solve with my own haxoring skills.

Btw, Kelly, both Roderick Long and Bob Murphy have reviewed “The Watchmen” on their websites, so maybe you could read those and gain a little momentum to complete your post and maybe some new insights or perspectives that could add to your review.
