This Is Only A Test

"Testing, testing...Is this thing on? Testing...The Film Geek Is Dead."

Look, I said it's only a test.

Way too often, just when I start really enjoing a particular blogger, he or she stops writing. Sometimes for long periods of time--several weeks, or even months--the blogger will post nothing. I'm sure it's because they have more important things going on in their lives. But the fact is, I don't.

So, I keep going back to their site, day after day, hoping to be entertained.

I'm always curious what's going on in the life of the absent blogger. Has he or she taken a vacation? Lost the muse? Maybe he's ill, and in the hospital.

Or worse: Maybe the absent blogger has died.

That's why I've tutored Mrs. Film Geek in how to access the dialogue box for this blog so she can report to anyone (who cares) about my demise, should I die unexpectedly. My instructions? Simply log in, click on "New Post" and type:

"There will now be a brief intermission: The Film Geek has died."

I turned another year older this week. And people who know me well know that means I'm full of angst. So, I'm making plans.

Sure, it's macabre. But, at least you'll know.
