Alas, this is the part in every mediocre blog's life when the blogger gets a bit distracted by Real Life, and stops thinking, "Oh my, wouldn't this be a fun thing to blog about" and starts doing those fun things without reporting back. Then the blog readers say, "Oi, blog Minion, we are hungry for you amazing bloggings, with your clever wit and insightful commentaries on modern culture", and the blogger says, "nah, stick it" (for this is a clever, insightful thing to say. Deep. Meaningful. Loaded with relevance to the reader's daily routine) because it just wouldn't do to give the public what they want. This goes on for some time, after which, out of a strong sense of social justice and artistic responsibility, the blogger gives in:
Today I woke up. It was sunny. I had a pee, and ate some cereal for breakfast.....
But you never know. I may not be a writer of yet another mediocre blog. Unbeknown to me this blog may yet be amazing, and picking up popularity in far flung corners of the world. Small Russian children may be learning English at the very moment just to read of this blog. It may be amazingly terrible - as evidenced by the lack of recent posts and continuity. Nobody wants to be mediocre, get (according to Radio 4's Just a Minute on Monday) we all strive for mediocrity and most of us achieve it.
Me. I've thought of some more things to muse about.
