Did you ever wonder why I only update this blog, like, once a month? It sucks, I know, waiting with bated breath for the next update on who’s doing what in the halls of Sweet Valley High and in the Spanish-tiled kitchens of our idyllic California town. The primary reason I only update every-so-often is that in order to write an entry, I have to read an entire book. And sure, that book is rarely longer than 140 pages, but still, it must be read and, for that matter, acquired from often-distant sources. The other reason is that, simultaneously with working my almost-completely-unrelated fulltime job, I maintain(ish) two other blogs:
Popular Sentiment (my ) and
Cineplexus. And I bake things. And read arguably “more serious” books. But the blogs are really the point here. If you enjoy my sardonic-overanalysis of the Sweet Valley saga, I hope you’ll check out my similarly hilarious ramblings on film and television (
Cineplexus) and culture/commercials/life-in-general (
PopSent) from time to time.
From some of you readers, the question seems to be not “why not post more often?” but “why the hell are you writing this blog at all?” And then “when are you going to stop writing it?” And to those people, I say “because I find it endlessly amusing,” and “possibly never, and definitely not before I finish the entire Sweet Valley High series with Magna Edition Aftershock from December, 1998.” I haven’t made a decision about the SVU series, or, say, the Elizabeth books, and I don’t plan on crossing that bridge until I come to it. In the meantime, I hope you’ll check out my other stuff – it encourages me to keep it up –follow @sweetvalley on Twitter, and tell your friends (and favorite publications, maybe?) about my little project. We’ve got a lot of ground left to cover.
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I'm trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
