Bang Bang!

Dear Blogsters

(Kind of like hipsters, just for blogs. Because you're all so wonderful and hip for reading me, and my sometimes inappropriate, often abstract, punkish lit.)By the way, this isn't some boring, mushy denouement. Although it has been almost six months of posting, 14 posts, 209 Facebook members (not to mention the unaccounted web-stalkers...you know who you are)... I'm not saying goodbye...yet. Duh-Duhm.
But (there's always one) I have to confess that the excuse for my sad lack of posting hasn't been because of the dangerous pleasure of winning the World Cup trophy (Don't hurt me, Argentinians) or the abundance of cold beer and beach in the heat (Ok...maybe a little), or, God help me, my addiction to teen trilogies.
The fact is, there's a book. And we've been spending more and more time hanging out with each other. Getting to know one another. I think we might just be more than friends...So. Now you know. 
It's something I've been thinking about for over a year now and I am finally putting it to cold, hard paper. BUT (number 2) I promise to keep posting. Faithfully. Whenever IT lets me. (You see, IT'S very possessive. It's already glaring at me from the computer) 
So please don't be angry if I suddenly space out when you're talking, or growl at you from my coffee cup. Having to fly out of fantasy world to sometimes land in reality, to take care of normal things like washing one's laundry or communicating with homo sapiens, can make one such a grump. 
Thank you all for your friending and moral support. I'm hoping that in the end of the tinkering and tampering, I'll come out looking kind of like Caractacus Pott steering the brand new, magical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang out of the workshop.And hey, talking about great movies, here are some books-turned-films that I applaud and simply love. What are yours?
