    The Weekly Recaps. (Insert deep sigh here.) As much fun as the idea was, the execution felt like exactly that: Being executed. My trite attempts to sum up the content of a dozen other websites were more “miss” than “hit”. The minute you feel like you’re repeating yourself, it’s time to give up and move on.

    This has nothing to do with the fact that I ran out of good ideas for movie references, either. (Seven was easy. Eight? Dunno.)

    Put another way: Much as Argephontes discovered, doing weekly recaps is a lot of work. If you want to know what’s going on with my fellow journals and blogs, the list is there. Please read them. They are all entertaining and enlightening in their fashion, and most are better written than my humble efforts.

    I’m thinking that perhaps this is part of my urge to create rather than simply spotlight the creativity of others. It’s time, dammit, and past time for me to do more of my own true art here… be it silly parody scripts or music videos or what-have-you.

    After all, anybody can spend all their time linking to other peoples’ works. It doesn’t make for a very compelling reason to keep coming back when there’s nothing of yourself in your site…

  • Friday Five Recess

    So it’s been a largely content-free week here at greyduck.net. I apologize for that. It’s not much fun to check a website regularly for new content only to find none.

    And this post is no exception: I’m NOT doing the Friday Five this week, as I simply have nothing I want to share about my schooling. You, of course, are free to go forth and answer the questions as you see fit.
