My CT Movies colleague Josh Hurst is marking the second birthday of his blog today — and in doing so, he reminds me that I completely forgot to mark the third birthday of my own blog a couple weeks ago.
I began this blog on March 16, 2005, barely a month after I had gotten married. Now, three years later, I have three kids and a bigger apartment and I no longer live a few blocks from the major arthouse theatres — so I no longer go to the movies with anywhere near the frequency that I used to, and I no longer experiment with the more eclectic movies to the degree that I used to.
But, I still go to movies, watch them at home, and write about them, here and elsewhere — and so the blog goes on.
Incidentally, two years ago, I marked this blog’s birthday on the day itself. Last year, I neglected to do so until two days after the fact. And now, this year, it has taken me just over two weeks to get around to doing so. At this rate, I should be marking the blog’s fourth birthday about two months after the fact.
