State of the Blog

Today was the 4th annual Supporting Actress Blog-a-thon over at StinkyLulu - a celebration in the modern art of supporting actressing, if you don't know. I've done it the last three years, and as you may have noticed, there is no post today.

Why isn't there? Because I suck.

I couldn't come up with anything. I really couldn't. The most I could think of was Mélanie Laurent, but that seems like such an obvious pick? (I was right, evidently, if you check the post.) Even when I WAS going to do her, I had nothing. So I decided to abstain completely. This is really an important step in the course of this blog, because it's entirely indicative of my standing and my ability as a blogger. It's an unfortunate realization, but one that needs to be addressed.

HOPEFULLY, this changes soon though. I've been TRYYYYYING to get some shit done, and I've had some post ideas forming AND staying through that I might actually DO.

No guarantees, tho.

Now, seriously last minute Globe predix, just for the sake of posting something.
