pee ess

November 15, 2007 by krisis

Okay, so, forgive my meta-ness for a second here, but we need to chat.

We are now at the halfway mark of the month, and I must confess I am not really feeling the NaBloPoMo love this year.

I’m quite sure the NaBloPoMo Ning site is mostly at fault. Last year there were over two thousand of us scrambling to post before midnight every day, and the only way for us to communicate and commiserate was to read each other’s blogs and leave a trail of comments in our wake.

This year there are six thousand of us, all amiably mingling on a social networking site, and our blogs would seem to have become secondary to our networking.

Or maybe it’s just me and my busyness, which is even more meta, because the whole point of NaBloPoMo was supposed to be talking about how great it is to be busy all of the time, as opposed to last year when I spent the entire month in my room reading blogs, drinking martinis, and cultivating my carpal tunnel syndrome.

I had quite a schedule plotted out to cut through the busyness with posts and Trios and links, but these days weeks go by so quickly that I don’t have time to figure out what to do with them. That, combined with some of the less amusing chapters of the engagement story and a Trio that doesn’t seem to want to be recorded, are a veritable blogging blockade.

Or, maybe I’m just taking this all a little too seriously, as is my wont. So, I’m looking to you, gentle readers, to tell me what’s what. Are there some NaBloPoMo blogs that I seriously need to be reading? Is there a type of post you’ve been dying to see from me? Or, for the more well-versed of you, is there a song I’ve been neglecting?

Speak now, or your next fifteen days will most likely mirror the last. Which, honestly, were fifteen days of fairly quality blogging, but I’m nothing if not an overachiever.

    I’ve found a bunch of good blogs. Here’s one for you: Derfwad Manor. I’m going to do a post today about my shows. What’s your verdict on Heroes so far this season? Have you watched Torchwood? That’s my new fave.

    We’re always a season behind on actual watching since we only view from DVDs. However, I keep up with my few shows on TWoP and I have to say that Heroes is continuing its unimpressive trend. Get everyone together for the finale and then split them up again? At least Kristen Bell is rocking it enough to get picked up as a regular cast member.

    heroes has gotten a lot better in the last two weeks. (we usually watch it on the nbc website rather than on tv.) but I always thought it was pretty sloppy in a number of ways so I haven’t been too upset at this season, honestly.

    I am not the right person to comment on the success of nablopomo, since it annoyed me last year and it still annoys me now (as manifested on the internet at large, not at ck). but you seem more premeditated this year, and maybe that’s making it less interesting & fun for you?

    are you seriously asking which song you are neglecting after just the first trio of the season? ;) … I would be interested in hearing you do a trio organized around an artistic construct, rather than a conceptual theme. like talk about your lyrical decisions or something.

    Last year was way, way, way more premeditated. Like, I hardly deviated from the schedule at all, other than to do stuff a day or two early. This has been completely flying blind, despite very well-laid plans.

    I figured you might have a nomination based on stuff I did last year and songs of the day (Colorblind will be here when it’s good and ready, so don’t bother. I’ve tried it twice already). Some of the themes are about shared lyrics or devices, I’ll see if one of them can be coaxed into existence on Sunday.

    I think there’s just too much on NaBloPoMo. I usually will go on there to look for blogs and end up reading through discussions and stuff like that. But, I did find you. So, there you go. As far as blogs you should be reading…well…
