Curse You, Christopher Lee!

I wrote that headline in the midst of writing this post, and I like it so much I’m going to use it, even though it is not really indicative of the post as a whole. Let’s just say we’re having a non-sequitur moment.

Well, here I am on Lame Post Friday, perched on a stool in my kitchen, writing in a notebook (the spiral-bound paper kind, not a computer) while onions cook and garlic breathes.

While at work today (on breaks, as you know), I worked on my novel and on a blog post which is becoming increasingly unwieldy. It is about a Christopher Lee horror movie. I do love writing about movies, but I always seem to have so much to say. I’ve been working on this one all week. I keep turning a page to work on something else, then going back to the post and leap-frogging to the next clean page. I’m getting a little confused.

And a little embarrassed. Earlier this week, I wrote about how I could not write a particular post, then went back the next day and wrote that post. Now it seems I am doing the same thing with Christopher Lee.

Oh well, these are the choices I make. I like to post every day and only seem able to accomplish this end with an increasing number of very foolish posts. As always, I strive for improvement. This week I believe I had… (counting in my head; too impatient to actually go back and check) five out of six foolish posts so far. What a wretched record! I have no place to go but up.

  1. NO!!! You will not write posts with titles that have nothing to do with the post itself… dang it… we have rules…

    • Well, on Non-Sequitur Thursday (that’s yesterday as I write this), it is a kind of a rule that I write a post with a title that has nothing to do with the post itself. I have always had a rule for myself that I break all the rules. Sometimes I follow that rule by breaking the rule and following the rules. Now,if I were to write a blog post about that, what do you suppose the title should be?

      • Okay, you seem to be unaware of the fact that I am now the ruler of this and all other universes… mostly due to low voter turnout I will admit… and therefore I make the rules. And since my first rule was that you officially do not have to follow any of my rules… you are good to go… so go… be free… little rulebreaker… ha… see what I did there… rulebreaker is really spelled rule breaker…

  2. WordPress isn’t letting me put this reply right below what Pouring My Art Out just said, but it is in nature of a response (although I like to think of it as non-sequitorial) (that isn’t really a word). I recently relocated to a different universe and have yet to check out the new power structure. Yet you say you are ruler of ALL universes, so that should make it easier… Still waiting on the Welcome Wagon, which your better universes have. Incidentally, I am not a little rulebreaker (my computer says that’s not a word, too, but it will accept a hyphen). I am a LARGE rulebreaker. However, I am on the South Beach Diet.
