Just to clarify, the previous entry was written without having seen the movie. If it's wrong, there's a reason. If it's accurate, consider it luck. Just like life in general.
Sometimes life doesn't give itself up to be a blog entry. That's when life accommodates the writer, which doesn't necessarily happen often. Sure, there's always the potential for an entry about working late, learning German by reading production and material data for an automobile plant, seeing a car skid off the interstate at high speed during a downpour, etc. While all of that sounds potentially interesting (in ascending order, no less), the decision must be made to tell it in a way appealing to the reading public. Granted, the reading public may consist of nothing more than the author at different times of day. Then again, maybe it's hardest to hold one's own attention considering the outcome is predictable. Nevermind. Call this stretching.
Back to the dull point, even when life is pretty good and there's enough going on to scrawl out a few lines, it can't fly on its own. The same way that a description of something seemingly mundane can be captivating and vice versa. Don't let blogs say too much, but don't let several days between entries indicate nothing happening. An ounce of moderation is worth a pound of effectiveness.
