New site
For those of you who don't know, I'm writing for another media website these days. I'm still doing Blunt Talk for Geekbinge, but am doing American Horror Story: Hotel for 411Mania. I was assigned to do South Park for them as well.
Yeah, that's two shows on one night. Something I used to try to avoid (though not well).
The hard part?
I only have 90 minutes from the time a show ends to make pictures, upload them to a 3rd party site (they don't let writers upload pics to the site), write, post, and format the whole review with an additional tl:dr paragraph.
That's probably going to be okay for South Park. But my habit it to spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours on review for a show that's an hour long (or more, since AHS has a habit of running between 10-30 minutes over). I worry that my reviews won't be as good as readers are used to.
Also, 411Mania gets a lot more traffic. Commenters seem to be mostly dudes, and the sort who immediately get personal when they disagree with you. As such, I'm not engaging in the comments--with anyone. That's almost a drag, because I love a passionate discussion between fans. But I'm not going to validate bullshit with a response.
In other news, I need a haircut.
The chick I like doesn't have any appts open for at least 4 weeks. Just as well, since the cabs to her place cost more than the damn haircut. I'll probably just go to the mall. I'm in the mood for a super short cut.
