What have I been
up to? That’s a really good question. An excellent one, in fact. (Cue crickets
chirping.) I’ve been working on a book. That is, when I’m not obsessing about
the pup’s diet.
Or his attire.
Or spending time
watching entirely too much TV…solely for the purpose of studying story
development, of course. At this point, I have a PhD in television time suckage.
It was Justified.
Or photographing
an unruly bunch of critters for the holiday book that we do every year for our
nieces and nephews.
So, as you can
see, I’ve been very busy (just go with it).
And yet, that
hasn’t stopped a certain d-bag delinquent from spamming my blog. Every day.
Like it’s his job.
That’s right,
Anonymous, I’m talking to you. You, by some diabolical computer program, has
ensnared my innocent, quiet blog in your sticky marketing web. I’m not even
sure what you’re peddling, as all your ineffective, spamish words point to some
product or service that has no tie to anything relevant about anything I’ve
written about (or, um, not written about). There’s a reason I have to moderate
my comments before they’re posted, and that reason is you.
I’m here to tell
you, Anonymous, that your come-hither product blather is indecipherable. Your
prompts to check out your website, lackluster. Your marketing gimmick,
impotent. As such, I’ve clicked on nothing, not one of your links. I’ve posted
not one of your generic comments. You, Anonymous, can suck it.
And as far as those
page views you’re generating for me when I’m not publishing a single word in
new content, Anonymous? Well…um…
Yeah.
Ok, I’m just
rethinking some things here on the fly. Some positions that I’ve taken might be
a little hardline, a bit too unforgiving. Hope I haven’t offended you too much,
Anonymous. I mean, when I say, “suck it,”
what I’m really trying to say is Thank You.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one getting spam! A new project is exciting--fingers crossed the words will keep flowing. Hope your writing is going well!
ReplyDeletePup continues to be too cute, and good luck on the continued 'hits'
ReplyDeleteis it the luis vuitton bag guy?
ReplyDeleteI'm too dumb to figure out how to be notified when you post, so I thought it had been even longer! It was fun to get a Monica-blast of several months. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been leaving spammy comments on my blog all year.
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself lucky. I spam because I care.
DeleteCan I get a copy of that video? Love you! Keep writing. At least you watch your own tv shows. I just watch my kids watching tv. I think we just need to collaborate on our own tv show, that of course we star in as well. It's destiny, I'm telling you.
ReplyDeleteCan I get a copy of that video? ugh, so sorry about the spammer. That totally SUCKS. I do want you to proud of your TV Phd. It really is an accomplishment, which leads me to what I've been thinking for years. Let's throw this whole book writing thing out and turn into TV making! We'd be brilliant together. I'd say you're well qualified for the job :)

The video is hitting a theater near you! ;) TV writing, yes!!! Why haven't we done this yet?? Obvi, more research will be necessary.
