So, I was originally going to title this post "An Addendum" as I thought Antonio had titled his supplementary post "An Amendment"...now that I think about it though, "addendum" sounds like the type of pompous expression Antonio would use*.
Anyway, I forgot to mention in my post that I'm officially giving up Okayplayer, in addition to my previous decision to merely write for an hour and a half everyday. For those of you not in the know, Okayplayer is like a second home to me. These people have kept me informed, kept me fed, and more often than not kept me in stitches.
Unfortunately...it is also one of the greatest time sucks on the face of the earth. Hell even when i'm not on Okayplayer I'm on okayplayer. No less than five seconds after something happens to me, I think about posting it on OKP. Doesn't matter what it is; bad date, boring class, long paper, got cussed out by a bus driver, found a human finger in my grilled cheese sandwich, if there is some humor to be squeezed from even the most mundane of human endeavors it will be posted on OKP and mocked/critiqued/torn limb from limb by the denizens of Okayplayer. And it is for this reason that I can no longer continue to grace its pages.
When I came up with my plan to take a break from the snarky milieu of the internet message board I wasn't sure if I'd refrain only from posting or from lurking (reading posts but not commenting) aswell. Well, I just got my answer. Not 2 minutes in to reading a few posts I found my self typing out a vehment assertion that to remain true to the text of Watchmen, director Zach Snyder need not copy the novel panel for panel. Film analysis aside, it's pretty clear that I lack the will power to lurk but not post.
So now I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with all that time...oh right...the writing thing....
*Sorry Antonio
