Method in My Madness

You know that I started this blog because I was sick, off work and bored out of my mind.  While I had nothing to do, I spent a lot of time thinking about Richard Grieco naked watching old television shows on DVD.

But a funny thing happened.  In real life, I'm kind of a marketing guru, and I have a fair amount of experience in public relations and Internet marketing, so from time to time I took a look at the stats.  I was surprised when I started getting search traffic after less than two weeks, and even more surprised when I started getting daily traffic on Grieco's name without modifiers in under a month.

This made me curious about the celebrity realm, which I would have expected to be highly competitive.  So I started a blog about Matthew Perry, and another one about Mark Hamill. (Lynda Carter coming soon.)  And an ever crazier thing happened--traffic started arriving within just a couple of posts.

So here's what I'm thinking: perhaps, during my convalescence, I'll become an accidental celebrity blogger. Perhaps it will become a little sort of side business that I'll keep up when I go back to work  Perhaps you will all FORGET that I've watched Sexual Predator twice, even though I had to wait until my kid was asleep to do it because it's millimeters from porn.  Or, maybe you'll think, "Well, that's her job--rough though I'm sure it is."

And maybe, when we've all recast me in our minds as a woman with a plan, my daughter won't roll her eyes at me when a padded envelope arrives in the mail and say, "Will this be a Richard Grieco movie?"

Sound good? Okay, let's do that.

Here's a gratuitous screen cap from Final Payback just because I think it's pretty (and if you're reading this blog, you probably will, too.).  But remember:  this is strictly business.
