It wasn't at or around post 8,200 ... but I don't know. I'm guessing it either had to do with a significant number (e.g. 10,000) or beecause we overtook a thread (What are you listening to right now?)
In my opinion, of the 5 dozen threads I now inhabitate daily, two of them are the hardest for me to rev up my engine to, just because they involve those "creative intangibles"..
#1.
Snapshot a Song - I don't know too many songs, and with my busy life, I just have time to listen to podcasts, and maybe an hour of TV every few days... also, I don't know where else to locate "quality" images other than flickr... or to spend half of the week searching on some Russian site for something I'm not sure that I'm looking for. It's a hard business thinking of a lyric, making it stick in your mind, imagining a world behind it, and then trying to either locate it on the web, or re-create it yourself.
Patience (keyword).
#2. A topic I have yet to create, but have many (unwritten) rules to abide by and, it's all too crazy, and modern (that sounds eerily familiar). Anyway, tentative title to it is "
Modern Life is Rubbish", and it may be the single hardest endeavor I've sought to think up.
... alright, I might have three topics. The "
Cartoons" thread is pretty hard to maintain as well, if only because I keep getting tripped up over what I can and can't embed, and then every few weeks, some of my shares just disappear in the blink of an eye. (Where the hell am I going to find another
Fantasia?)... it's all too hard trying to appease myself.
'Cause you know that is all that I'm doing. No one (but a tiny handful) make a stray comment as to what I'm contributing towards is something worthwhile, so I easily forget about it. I don't want that to be the case. I'm working towards a greater identity of archival goodness, a repository, a treasure trove, of illustrious offerings.
I need to get to wandering about...
