not much blogging today...

Was out at a marathon of movies -- three in eight hours, plus round-trip commuting time. Last night, when I might have been preparing posts for today, I was instead preparing packages of goodies to subscribers, most of which went in the mail today. (Winners of goodies got an email from me. I was able to give to many subscribers. I wish I could have given to everyone.)

I have decided no longer to feel guilty about not posting everything I would like to post everyday... unless a subscriber complains to me about it. Then I’ll feel guilty. So if you want to protest that I’m not reviewing enough movies or grumble that I still haven’t gotten back to Life on Mars blogging, or whatever, I won’t take you seriously unless you’ve signed up for a buck-a-month subscription, or donated a fixed sum of at least $12/£10. Because if you haven’t done that, you’re part of why I am not able to devote all my available time to this site, and must occasionally turn my attention to such lowly, proletarian endeavors as making a living... which was something else that ate up a lot of time over the past week or so, as I was compelled to turn my attention to a noncriticism project that came with an actual paycheck.

I’m cooking up another benefit for subscribers -- one that will not require I spend hours packing up goodies and hauling them to the post office -- that I hope to unveil in the next week or so.
