She Blogged By Night

Sometimes I'm not good at memes. I like memes, don't get me wrong, and I'm in the middle of composing a post for a meme that I wasn't even specifically tagged for. The other day, though, shahn at the wonderful sixmartinis and the seventh art tagged me for the Reading the Movies meme. It's a good meme. I wanted to participate. I just don't read many books, and don't have 10 books that I can make a list from.

There are a lot of reasons for this, the main reason being that nowadays I only read for pleasure, and I really get very little pleasure from film books. You don't want to hear me go off on some books I read within the last year, which were all either unsubstantiated gossip or judgmental attack pieces. I do a lot of research, though, online and off, but that rarely involves reading an entire book. So, with apologies, I'm going to have to pass on this meme.

I do have a couple of other memes and a few blogathons I'll be participating in, though, and a couple more projects I'll be unveiling as well. This is probably as good a time as any to mention that the longer summary posts I like to do (like "Red Rock West" or "The Locked Door") will most likely be on hold for a while. This is disappointing but necessary since my laptop is broken until I can afford to fix it, and my screencaps without the laptop (like here in "Bordertown") aren't nearly as good as with. The projects that I'm working on, though, look like a lot of fun. For me, maybe not you. Ha!

Lest we forget, El Brendel is the SBBN official mascot. Today's photo is from "If I Had My Way". El is allegedly looking at a puppy, but his eyes are focused elsewhere. Perhaps a Twinkie (tm) is just out of camera range? A delicious, savory Twinkie.
