Weird Internet Twins

About the same time a month ago when I actually looked at this thing again and realized, whoa, it was still here, I stumbled on another blog (thelittleblackegg as opposed to littleblackegg) and found a like-minded soul - I guess not surprisingly considering the choice of blog names - only far better read and listened and generally evolved, right down to the fact that he's making a terrible go of it as an independent writer and copyeditor and basically doing anything he can to keep it together and not have to retreat back into an office ever again. He's not really doing very well at it, but the salient point is that he has this brain going a million miles an hour to my hundred and he really is obsessed with music and books in a way that I used to be (and dream of still being). Admittedly I was never quite as eloquent with my obsession as he is, or if I was I've forgotten, but in any case here I am, harried, overworked, overtired, extremely parental, and that state of being is one which I am now currently in the process of re-establishing as my ideal, but am far from reaching as my actual.

And then Kelley just let me know that I guess I let ownership of robbfritz.com lapse, and some Broadway junkie, maybe an actor?, gobbled it up to start a now six-month outdated blog on the Broadway strike, which is like some quantum mechanically generated other-worldly weird ghost of my high school self out there wandering the streets and getting all feverish over Broadway and writing a blog about it. So there they are, two strange internet twins. Kelley mentioned after finding the robbfritz.com site that there's a term she read for it, "googlegangers", which, yeah, there it is.
