I just rented Bartleby for the first time last night. Dear God, that movie is amazing. Here is my Top 5 Office Movie List:
1. Secretary
2. Bartleby
3. Clockwatchers
4. 9 to 5
5. Joe Versus the Volcano
One of the Andrews has requested that I stop blogging about him for chrissake! Or at least give him a pseudonym. (On the other hand reading about himself inspired him to call and ask me for a breakfast date, so he can’t be that offended!) At first I agreed, but now I’m having second thoughts. I want to respect dudes privacy, but I also strive for transparency in my writing. When I started this blog I only had like, three readers, and I designed my entries as if I were writing letters to them. Also I was with Jake then, and was so secure in my relationship that I refered to him by his full name, or as Lover Longstreth. When we broke up I considered going back and changing his name, but ultimately decided that tampering with past entries is unethical. And besides, my readership was still small enough that everyone visiting my site knew Jake anyway. But now Ultimate Blogger has raised my profile on the Internet, and being single has meant writing about boys in ways that may be embarassing for them. Jake gritted his teeth and let me blog about our dates and arguments. Maybe I shouldn’t expect these new lads to be as permissive. So what should I do, dear readers? Here are my options, as I see them:
a) Continue on with no changes. Love me, love my blog.
b) Quit writing about my love life (ha!).
c) Give pseudonyms to those who request them.
d) Give pseudonyms to all of my boys, Carrie Bradshaw style.
If c) or d), how should I assign pseudonyms? I’ve thought about using bird names. Or the names of Salinger characters. Or using names that have little clues, like The Southern Gentleman, or The French Kisser. (Sort of cheesy, I know.)
Give me your input and I will make my decision based on your comments. In the meantime send me warm thoughts for my breakfast date tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about it! (*wink*)
