So yesterday I pondered shutting the Plop down again. I don't know what it is, but if I get 10 less readers (half my readership) for a day, I get all down on blogging and want to quit. I don't really know why I do this anyways. The Plop started as a way for me to try and step back and view my mundane life from a third person perspective. People always thought my job, friends, comings and goings were so "cool and fun" but to me it was all a big bore.
Anyways, yesterday our readership was cut in half and I have to ponder if this is just a giant waste of time or if it really is a good marketing tool to promote myself and my projects. Maybe it is the recent addition of those annoying Google ads that show up under each new post (don't know how to rid of those but if I don't make enough from adsense to at least buy a 40 then I am going to cut it out of the Plop). I am still pondering if my time could be better spent elsewhere (way more people follow me on Facebook). In the mean time, these women are incredible (and the lady in the hat has to be manic as well) and I so want to make a music/film review show with them:

I rarely commented on people's blogs to begin with and since I started using Google reader, I *never* comment anymore, so I don't know how your stats reflect people who use feeds to keep up.
I'm not even sure how I found your blog in the first place, but here I am. And I would be very sad if it went away. Your life is so far, far off from anything resembling my reality that reading plopculture is a voyeuristic diversion. And I wouldn't know how to find you on Facebook and that would just be kind of weird anyway, so don't stop blogging in a public forum. You eliminate happy accidents if you do.
little comments like those make it worth it. i guess, for me, i dwell a bit in the mundane. there are so many great things i can be blogging about that just aren't quite happening yet. in the meantime will just take it day by day. the thing is if i don't do at least 3-4 posts a day my readership DROPS dramatically. i tend to judge the value of the blog based on numbers...will try and think alternatively on this front.
fyi people have found me on facebook from here actually.
