My 10-year-old game show appearance is now on YouTube.  In 3 parts:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu8nTqHFzM0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDgxEf9m4H8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO0WNuzD1ok

awesome! 

I liked your posing during the intros.  I suppose they really encouraged the big gesture thing, which you pulled off nicely.

Even though I was, um, LOOKING AT THE WRONG CAMERA?  I seriously shudder every time I see that part.  :)

Hi gang,

A website column I used to write for, the Singles Jukebox, is being relaunched.  And it looks like I'm being invited back to critique new pop singles again - will let you know when it's confirmed.

http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/

I'm on vacation this week - either I'm going to get a lot of writing done or I'm going to spend a lot of altered hours rehashing relationship drama.

cripes...!  note this is an AP story and the headline is not the most copy-edited one you might find, which prompted a user to quip:
 
"Shot _BY_ an arrow? We need to take the guns away from the arrows. I guess this is similar to another woman in NY I heard about who was shot _WITH_ an arrow."

Did you return for the following episode?

Oops, I never noticed that I didn't answer this.  No, R&R Jeopardy didn't invite its winners back to defend their crowns; since it aired only weekly (maybe 2 eps a week?), they wanted new faces each time.

So gang - I ended my blog, and I suppose I did so in a brusque and abrupt manner that was unfair to my readers.  Long story short, two weeks ago I finally got the (kind but unequivocal) rejection I was overdue to get from the guy I fell in love with at year's start.  All the color drained out of my world.  I lost all interest in writing and all faith in communication.  I buried myself in a hole for a while.  I'm still not feeling terribly conversational but I wanted to say hi. 

Gaz

PS: Mike, thanks for your last blog note as well as all the others over the past year.  I regret that the blog proved to be impenetrable to my non-music-fanatic friends.

There's a feeling I'm all too familiar with, though it's been a while.  Best wishes Gaz -- keep your head up.

Keep on pitching, bro. You will come out of this, despite however low you might feel now. Peace.

I do thank you all.  I try to be a giving person but sometimes the vessel runs empty.  Sorting through some stuff now but you guys are near and dear to me as always.  That you make me smile and laugh so often makes it all the richer.

Hey gang,

I haven't ruled out bringing my blog out of hiatus.  Do any of you who read it have any suggestions as to how it might have been more accessible?  Feedback I got from non-music-geek friends suggested that it was impenetrable and obscure.  Would I have to go with more familiar songs?  Stop with the needlessly big words?  I feel the blog didn't really succeed, and I don't know why.
