spring summer cleaning

i deleted a whole mess of posts that i had "saved as draft" over the years--about 65 in all going back to 2004. you'll never see them, but it was a fun trip down memory lane for me, looking at so many half-completed thoughts from the past. actually, the number of saved drafts increased dramatically beginning around april 2007, when i got an iphone. i think a lot of them are just earlier versions of posts that i did eventually publish. bloggers automatic save function combined with spotty cell phone connections may have fooled blogger into thinking that subsequent saves were different posts. i may have published one, but an earlier draft remained.

but still, there were a lot that predated april 2007. almost all of them were movie reviews, book reviews, or obscure references to my personal life. i guess i hesitate to hit publish for that stuff more than other kinds of posts. i do see a lot of movies that never get mentioned here. actually, other than film festival films, i don't do film reviews very often anymore. book reviews are even more rare. i doubt if anyone cares, myself included.
