So I received this DM via Twitter the other day:
@paulbarkley just checked your posterous. have you found something better or just given up the blog?
And my reply:
No, not given up. Just been too busy. Got something I’ve been meaning to write. Just need to get back into the habit.
Got me thinking, when I was an unemployed man about town last year, I had plenty of time to think about all manner of stuff. Now I’m employed again, thinking time’s become a bit of a luxury. But that’s not a good enough excuse really. So it’s time to get back into it - I just need to decide what to write about. I’ve got some options, but I wouldn’t mind some votes on what would interest you to read.
Option 1: Observations of a direct native gone digital
(Direct versus digital - Compare and contrast. Sounds like a HSC question, I know but I think it’d be interesting.)
Option 2: How many pop cultural references really are in KICK-ASS?
(There were plenty, and having watched Serpico last night, I’m now wondering if Nic Cage’s alter-ego Big Daddy was named after a reference in that film too. The list could be huge.)
Option 3: The mask of a Madman: Is Don Draper to Advertising what Patrick Bateman was to Finance?
(This is the one I’d been wanting to write, but kept putting off. And I’ve lost my notes, so this really will require a bit of thought.)
So three pretty different options. What would you like to read/contribute to?
