I’m blogging this to remind myself to check back. It’s a link I found in a fellow Lost-twitterer’s bio: We Are Movie Geeks.

And seriously, how did we ever watch TV before Twitter?? I’m not one of those “Here’s what I’m having for breakfast” Twitterers, but it’s a huge rush watching an already great show like Lost and at the same time following hundreds on conversations and reactions on the episode. It’s huge. It makes TV watching a wildly social activity.

Who would have thought that was possible.

Yes, if you’ve been reading this blog all these years [and who hasn't?!], you’re familiar with with my colorful ol’ college buddy that we called The Spook, and you know that every year I struggle to think of a different was to announce his birthday (which is actually tomorrow, April 11).

I think I’ve posted more videos in the past 2 months than I did in the previous 36 months! I think I started out as too much of a perfectionist, wanting to do titles, or have better lighting or sound, or just generally making more of a production out of it.

Now I’m finally more of a mindset of where I’m saying, “Ooh, that’s cool, let’s upload it! — NEXT!”

Anyway, check out his frantic little paws, batting at my shoes through the crack in the door. Never fails to crack me up!
