News from a Social Media Hermit

For my few dedicated readers out there, I'm sorry I disappeared so suddenly and abruptly. For reasons I won't go into here, I thought scaling back my Twitter and my blog were necessary for a short period of time. Of course, I missed serving up my loopy thoughts on everything from the Tebow trade to Mad Men on a semi-frequent basis. My poor friends were stuck listening to me ramble on in person. But I had made a vow, and by gum, I would stick with it. But yesterday I realized that deleting my blog and disappearing from the Internet were the wrong decisions, and choosing to stick with them was kind of like keeping your foot on the gas and hoping the brick wall would bend to your will. Now my Twitter's back, and so's this blog, so expect a post on those playoff ads for the Hockey Hall of Fame in the near future, and more beer. Facebook will remain dormant though, becuase - ew.

I was wondering where your blog went! I am a loyal reader, I swear! Even when I don't comment...

Mirah, I'm almost afraid to ask this, but what are your thoughts on Girls? It just seemed like the kind of show that you would post about on Facebook, though to celebrate or excoriate, I do not know.

Ah, sorry for this belated comment--I didn't have responses sent to my gmail. I have mixed feelings about Girls. I posted a bit about it on FB, but I do want to write a blog post at some point.

Also this is Mirah--I just don't know how to change my account name and I am too lazy to figure it out at the moment.

Yeah, my feelings are mixed too. And things are complicated by the fact that it's hitting a little too close to home. Lena Dunham and I even look alike from certain angles. Shudder.

I did notice that! You guys do look very similar! I actually have a friend here at SCA who looks just like you, but with much longer hair. It's pretty uncanny!

Ha ha, yep. Which is why anytime someone calls her fat and/or unattractive I'm like "Hey! HEY NOW!" in my mind.

Anyway, some people are bitches, but the people commenting on the blinding whiteness of Girls do have a point. Even Damsels in Distress had a more diverse cast.
