Oh oh, it’s Friday again and I forgot to put something in the can for this morning.
Anybody got any bright ideas on what I should write about this morning? Something witty and insightful and full of colourful vocabulary that can be slapped together in about 12… nope, make that NINE minutes?
* sound of crickets *
Yah, me neither. Okay, hows about we play the comment game again? I know, I know, my two year old doesn’t fall for the same trick twice in one week, and here I am asking you to do it. I promise, next Friday I’ll have something clever tucked away (the pledge of the procrastinator).
So, if you weren’t here last week to play, here’s how it goes: I’ll propose a movie, and you post an actor/actress who is in that movie. The next person posts a different movie that said actor is in, and the person after that posts a different actor in that movie… and so on, until the end of time. You can check out the comments from last week to see it in action. We made it to 48 comments last time – can we hit 50 this week?
I’ll start you off with: Moulin Rouge, because I have the soundtrack rattling around in my head. (One of the best unanticipated features of the Escape Pod is having Ewan McGregor croon sweet nothings directly into my ear – be still my heart!)

- A Friday comment game I went nearly 48 hours without Internet access while I was in Kingston, and ironically, one of the main things we discussed at the conference was new communication technology and social media. It was really interesting, and I can’t wait to get to work on some of that stuff with...
- Fun with comments Sorry, kiddies, I’ve got nothing for you today. It’s almost painful because I’m in one of those stretches when I have about six or seven ideas for posts clogging up my brain, and the words are just coursing out of my fingertips every time I sit down at the keyboard...
- Friday comment game – it’s all about you! I’ve been staring at this empty interface for long enough. I give up, I got nothing for you today. Well, that’s not exactly true. I’ve got a rant about diapers, but I think it follows a little too closely on my rant about BBQ chips and my rant about punctuation...
- Festive cocktail party comment game I’m so excited! Today is the kids’ Christmas party at work, one of my favourite parts of the holiday season. Beloved is bringing the boys in within the hour. I’ve learned my lesson after last year’s Santa gift fiasco, and this year Santa will give them each the same toy....
- Some thoughts on comments and comment spam I‘ve been thinking about comments lately. It was Delurking Day the other day, and I got an interesting e-mail from a reader. She asked me why bloggers think comments are so important. She noted that we as site owners can plainly see the traffic, so why do we want people...

Damn you jo(e)! I SO wanted to use the Pillow Book there. Ladies – hang on to your hats when you rent this one. Ewan is naked it in non-stop, I swear. I’m still having a hot flash and I think I saw it in 1995 when it came out.
Cold mountain.

Hrm…Jodie Foster was in a movie called “Foxes” (1980). If that’s the movie Robin was referring to, then I’ll put in a little “SCOTT BAIO” action everybody! Yeyeah! Chachi me baby!
