The Two Jennys

I'm starting to get the hang of this blogging thing. At first, I had to ask my wife "What now?" (I had expected the world to come to my doorstep). She reminded me that no one knew that I existed, which I took some exception to.

So, the next thing I had to do was go out to other blogs, read them and add a comment to their websites. Easier said than done for a picky bastard like myself. I found myself on Google's Blog Search looking for people with similar interests, mainly movies (my personal obsession). It took me hours before I stumbled upon a young lady named Jenny from Texas. My wife was born in Texas, so I took it as a good sign. Jenny likes to review the movies that she watches and she watches a lot of movies. Her reviews are down-to-earth opinions, not the holier-than-thou thesis papers like some websites.

I left my favorable views on her blog and decided to look around some more. I couldn't seem to find anything that struck me (except my wife, striking me to get me off the computer).

The next day I decided that I wanted to check to see if there was a response at Jenny's site. I had forgotten to bookmark the web address so it took me another half hour or so to locate it. Or so I thought. As it turned out there was another Jenny who had the same pink template. Her blog was quite funny. She gives quirky views on life and opinionated views on movies. She's a nanny who lives in Los Angeles and is writing a screenplay. My wife was a nanny and has a BAA in Filmmaking. Heaven's above, another sign.

Alright! This is where it starts; with Two Jennys ... and now an Annette (Welcome! Welcome!) So ,now, finally will the world come to my doorstep? ;)

Hello

Hello Dear Readers and my profound apologies for the tardiness of my posting. I made up the title for this blog a couple of weeks ago and then didn't really know how to proceed. Like a venus flytrap, I've grabbed 9 bloggers so far(probably those jolly Pythoneers expecting a picture of John Cleese doing his "silly walk" from the Ministry of Silly Walks Sketch, et al).

I suppose it's only fair that I explain what this blog is about; well, it's about me, I guess. I live with bipoplar disorder, so it's sure to always be fun and lively. In fact, that is the inspiration for the title, life being the cupboard that my head is stuck in (perhaps to save confusion I should have entitled it "I Cannot Extricate My Brain-Pan From the Wooden Receptacle of Life")

My wife is currently writing a vampire novel as is my dog, Xena, leaving me as the only one not actively writing at the moment. Thus I now have a blog, to enrich you with my wisdom... well, maybe tomorrow.
