My Twitter has been a wonderland of awesome today. If you want, nay, crave, nay, NEED the total Kevin Wolf experience, you're really missing out if you're not following me over there.
Just sayin'.
You may be aware of this service called Twitter, a micro-blogging site which, according to the mainstream media, is swallowing our children's souls or something. I am part of the new micro-blogging revolution, and as a result my maxi-blog has been terribly neglected, for which I am sorry. Twitter is shiny and new, and Vox is comparatively old and busted. Thus are the cruel vicissitudes of the Internet.
There is a phenomenon of celebrity Twitterers, and I in general have a rule where I don't follow celebs, because they are for the most part vaccuous and self-serving Billy Hufsey-esque strokers of their own egos. However, a few are cool, and actually provide amusing content.
There are porn stars who use Twitter, and the one that I follow is Sasha Grey, for the simple reason that she is the greatest porn star in the world.
The interesting thing about her Tweets is that they are almost wilfully mundane, as if to say, "Hey, Internet wankers, I'm more than a dick-sucking machine." I appreciate this, especially in Grey's case, as she has proven that her ambitions extend beyond leather sofas and restroom floors. Good for her. If her Twitters were all about getting drilled in the ass, I probably wouldn't bother.
However!
Her role as a satisfier of selfish male sex fantasies will always be a part of her public image, no matter how many Stephen Soderberg movies she makes, so is it too much to ask that she mix just a LITTLE bit of smut into the feed? You know: "I went shopping and found the best pair of shoes, but not in my size! :( Then later, I sucked three cocks."
That would really be terrific.
I changed things so that it won't post my Twitters here anymore, and I deleted all the old Twitter posts. It was turning my blog into one of those blogs I hate, and plus, it was giving me the impression that I was posting content when I wasn't. So, if you want to read my Twitter, you'll have to actually join Twitter and follow my feed.
Maybe this will spur me into posting more interesting content here, like I used to before Twitter swallowed my soul.
Jill: why is twitter destroying the interweb
BLOGTRONIC has made a cameo appearance on a comedy website here.
- Finally saw Quantum of Solace, and as much as I like Daniel Craig, I was underwhelmed by the movie, not least because I couldn't tell what was happening in a single goddamn action scene thanks to the frenetic, spazzy camera. Whoa, look, Bond did something, WHOA, a boat blew up for some reason, OOH, he hit that guy with some part of his body, ZOWIE, ropes and shit are flying all over the place. Fucking cinematographers and film editors need to bone up on their Kurosawa and Leone. Action can be exciting and still artfully constructed, jerks.
- Inauguration tomorrow. Yay, good riddance, hope, change, all that stuff. I think if you read my blog you can discern my political leanings, so I don't need to get too histrionic about how much I'm looking forward to calling him "President Obama".
- Are you all reading BLOGTRONIC's Twitter? Consider this a friendly reminder. Next time I come heavy.
- I was reading the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Whisperer in the Dark" in the tub a bit ago, and Jill was in the front room innocently re-enacting certain sound effects straight from the page.
- I sense I'm on the verge of one of those massive shifts in the reader/interaction base of my blog. I dunno, it just seems like a lot of my peeps are sort of laying low, which usually heralds that sort of thing. I was looking through some old posts the other day, and nearly every one had a comment or two from people who have dropped off the face of the earth. Blogging is a sad and lonely pastime sometimes.
- In two weeks, I will be watching the Super Bowl for the first time in my adult life so that I can cheer on Jill's beloved Pittsburgh Steelers.
- That's it.
I will eventually succumb to every little Internet fad, and as I have MySpaced and Facebooked before, I am now Twittering. Follow my tweet-stream, or whatever the hell you people call it, here. I can't promise that I won't get bored with this latest distraction and wind up leaving it as fallow and neglected as my Facebook.
