Dear Spuds
Over the Christmas holidays I spent a lot of time going over the 10 years worth of columns I had written since I started The Couch Potato Chronicles late in 1998. One of the most significant things I have noticed is that over the past several months, I have had less and less to say from an editorial point of view than I had in the 9 years plus prior.
Slowly it has occurred to me that this column has well and truly run its course, and that it’s time for me to find a new hobby. All I am really doing now are reviews. And quite frankly, I am just as happy to do those on Twitter.
So as of today, January 5, 2010, I’m hanging up my guns and shutting the column down. One of the things I would like to do is edit the couple thousand pages of columns I already have into a book. It might make an interesting (he said modestly), chronicle of the first decade of the 21st century.
Anyway, I would like to thank all the loyal spuds out there for their support over the years. I love you all and hope you will continue to follow my mini-reviews on twitter. http://twitter.com/TheCouchSpud
I will also keep up the movie tip sheet blog at Movie Tips Blog: http://onwordsandupwords.wordpress.com/
