For those hording toilet paper

2012 was certainly this blog's finest year. I was rejuvenated during this year after some fits and starts. I have certainly wrote quite a bit since then, but I think 2012 was when the blog was in its prime. I often think this blog has staled into mediocrity. Too much writing can do that. There was a newness to the blog back then. Why all this? Well, I was watching Final Exam (1981) Wednesday night, and I realized that the blog is coming up on its seventh anniversary. I was reading my review for Final Exam (review here: Click if you so desire), really getting a good sense of how high my spirits were at the time. I think we all can recall when writing about something we love was at its apex. You feel like the work is coming hot off the press clear and clean, purified by the thought processes vigor. I don't think I'm suffering burn out, necessarily, but I do wonder if maybe some time off would do the blog some good. The blog has its peaks and valleys. More valleys, these days, than peaks. 2012 was Mount Everest. I don't think the blog will quite reach those heights again.
