The Silent Room

I read about how Syef got the finger for his blog review several weeks [months?] before. Thinking that a review wouldn’t hurt, I submitted this blog’s URl to Ask and Ye Shall Receive. To put it in simple terms, they’re blog reviewers with an attitude. Inspired by [or a spin-off of] I Talk 2 Much? I don’t know, nor do I care – and I don’t think my opinion of them matters much to them, anyway.

Of course, I had a lot of fun reading the reviews of blogs written by morons. It’s common knowledge that a lot of idiots start up a blog to look cool and to claim that they ‘do stuff on the Web’ but end up clogging up the Net with their aneurysm-inducing crap. I got myself some good laughs from the awards of middle fingers, short buses and “You Sir Are A Asshole” medals.

I almost forgot that I actually submitted this blog’s URL until I noticed a small spike in web traffic a couple of days ago. In fact, I only realized it after blogging about the Transformers movie. Which led me here.

Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to read the wonderful comments and feedback written by a supposedly PMS-driven psychopath of woman. I quote:

C’mon. I’m female, I’m PMSing, and my skin tone went from this shade to this shade in the course of a night’s sleep–I always can find something to bitch about. [sorry, I'm just too lazy recode the color]

[...]

Complaint number two: It’d be super sweet if you made the defining of each separate blog post a little more obvious than a slightly larger font for your blog post titles and some lines. I’m sure it’s easy to find the logical end of a post through a reading of the posts, but I–much like the average human being–so don’t have the attention span to do that.

He writes very well. Almost too well. You know that fine line between talented and pretentious? He’s riding it, but in my opinion he’s leaning on the side of talented.

- female reviewer whose name escapes me for the moment.

That last paragraph I quoted there really gave me a warm, fuzzy, bubbly feeling. You know, like when the hot chocolate seeps down your throat on a cold rainy night and the warmth spreads through your body from the inside out? Yeah, that kind.

Toward the end of the review, she gave me three stars! Yay! What I found strange though, was that at the bottom of that entry, there’s a Four Stars keyword label. Hmm :)

I have indeed received your complaints and feedback, and I’ll do something about it. Eventually. I hope. If I remember. Thanks for the review! :D
