The Lament of the "Fantastically Boring" Blogger

At 3:12 am
"Alexandra" left me a comment:
"Holy shit, your blog is fantastically boring."
I found it three hours later
Whilst my son's waffles were in the toaster
And coffee was brewing.
Fantastically boring stuff was happening
Of which I should not be writing.
Apparently I can't help myself
Because here I go again.
The thing is, I think she is right--

if unnecessarily mean. 
Alexandra's google profile says she is a suburban bohemian in her 30's
She left her comment from Greenwich
After 4 page views.

  1. Blogger ate my comment, but basically I was like, ooooo, can I be fantastically boring too? Except I think I probably am, since I'm nearing 40, with a husband and kids. Maybe if I attended more "rock shows" I'd be more interesting?

  2. I really don't like the word verification though. It burns! It burns!

  3. I don't know why it was sent from Greenwich. L live on Long Island. Oh yeah, I didn't have a Google+ account until yesterday. But thanks for the shout-out!

    4. I work in the restaurant industry and usually don't have to be in the kitchen until 11am and don't leave until 12:30am-1am. So yes.

  4. You are the bard of the burbs.

    Seriously, not even a tiny bit boring.

  5. I just found your blog last night, and found it quite interesting, so I signed up to follow. And I don't know what to make of alexandra. Generally "fantastically boring" is an insult. But she comes back today (either not bored or wondering what you said about her comment, which says to me that she's just looking for attention. And her comment today about her vlogs being "f" boring makes me wonder what the hell she thinks that phrase means.
    After all of this, I like your blog. We can't stay 20 - 30 year old partiers forever. That got boring for me.

  9. Looked at her vlogs. Oh god oh god oh god -- I hope the skank costume is a costume. Christina at 51 is six thousand times hotter than Alex, though maybe I've only seen Alex in her costume and not in her real look. Not that this is about hotness, but if I get into the question of substance I'll start being a dick. Though it didn't stop you from being a dick. Still, I'm gonna high-road it.

    But Alex, in vlogging, you've gotta be thick-skinned when you put yourself out there. And extra EXTRA thick-skinned when you insult a genius like Christina, because the fan base of her boring style is a rabid one. Best future move would be not to provoke, and to move onto something you like unequivocally. Good luck. Dick.
