Episode Two: In which Jack Biberkopf's total internet illiteracy gets the best of him and he accidentally deletes Fruit Diet, his former blog of nine months.He is confused by a (perhaps imaginary) change on the Google log in process and deletes his Gmail account, not realizing that that will also delete its associated blog,even though it told him it would at least three times before he reached the final "This is it, last chance, point of no return" account cancellation button. It's just like when jealous Amy tosses Jo's beloved manuscript in the fire in Little Women, except that I am both Jo and Amy and there were only about four posts that I actually care about, mostly the one about awareness. Sigh.
New beginnings! Fruit Diet: The Next Generation with a name that's not as easy to remember and a not-so all-new cast of social injustices to bitch about, vintage perfume commercials culled from Youtube, and "Embarrassing Drunken Mystery Posts" which can only be seen by those vigilant enough to check in between the hours of 3:00 AM and 11:00 AM before I sober up and hurriedly delete them. Cheers!
I'm with you all the way.
ReplyDeleteJack, you are brilliant (internet illiteracy notwithstanding).
ReplyDeleteAlso you should do a one-man rendition of that fateful scene in little women.
I have one of your old blog entries on my blog.
