Open mouth, insert keyboard

I recall reading a post on one of my favorite anime blogs in which its writer was moaning about the painstaking and time consuming process of coming up with a blog post that’ll be good enough to be published. I scrolled past the whole post and scoffed at his seemingly overcomplicated writing process, “Why so serious? Isn’t blogging kind of like barfing where you’ll just type out whatever you feel like expelling from your system?”

Before I started this blog, I read quite a few other blogs almost religiously, (brain-washed Scientologist religiously, I’ll refresh the page every hour or so, read every single new comment, dig out archives from like 2003, I just stopped short of being a “FIRST POST!!!111!!one!!” idiot). Sometimes, my favorite bloggers would go missing from the surface of the planet for a period of time, and I’ll go “Sheeeshhhh” and point the very large nostrils of my absurdly high nose at the monitor.

“If I were to start a blog,” I thought “I would not post as sparsely as CK’s Donald Trump’s hair. I would post a review about every single episode of anime I saw, the wacky dream with the soft spoken Predator, or publish stuffs like the time dilation phenomena observed when waiting for water to boil.” (the magnitude of dilation observed is as listed: 1. When boiling water for instant noodles, 2. When boiling water for Milo, 734. When boiling off the water from a wet pot while watching the Olympics), I’ll draw comics whenever I feel not like writing, start a continuing 4koma and insert pictures like the one below in between every few paragraphs to put a few chinks in the wall of text and hopefully retain the attention of the readers.”

So when I found out that I end up barfing out stuffs that’s as incoherent as a bowl of alphabet soup with scrabble tiles sprinkled on it, and that finding then downloading then uploading onto Flickr then copy and pasting said picture HTML onto my blog is about as time consuming as sleeping and that my life is about as dry as a mummy, the posts have trickled really really slowly since the terribly incoherent and intimidating 4000 word blog debut (which at least have lots of pretty screenshots) into this bunch of equally incoherent text, which unfortunately have only two not-quite-as-pretty images.
