For various reasons, I need an extended break from the blogosphere, so that is what I'll do. I'm considering moving to a new place, I'm tired of living in a small flat, where I can't play music like I want to, and have to put up with noise from neighbours. I also have a stack of 50+ unread books, which I have neglected.
I'll probably still rate films on letterboxd, and will answer comments on previous posts. Just don't expect any new blog posts in the upcoming weeks. Commenting on other sites I'm taking a break from. I'll be back for year-end lists in December or January.
In case you're interested, I've compiled a list of movies I want to catch up on in 2014 and beyond.
In my absence, why not visit these other great film blogs, who also do monthly recaps:
Flixchatter
Inspired Ground
To The Movies And Back
I Love That Film
Lime Reviews
The Warning Sign
U, Me and Films
Surrender to the Void
The Cinematic Spectacle
Time Well Spent
Tips from Chip
Lights Camera Reaction
Let's be splendid about this
The Matinee (weekly recaps)
I'll miss you. Take care everyone!
Chris
Enjoy your break Chris, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Hope you find a place that you like better, man.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link love, very kind of you! Take care and *see* you when you're back blogging again.
@Ruth: Thank you. Watched a lot of movies this year, so I think this is a good time to take a break.
DeleteYou're welcome! Happy to link to your site.
Enjoy the hiatus and good luck on finding a new place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for including my small blog on your list and for all the support you've given.
@Cristi B: Thanks, it will be nice to do some other stuff. I won’t hurry finding a new home, got to make sure it’s perfect for my needs.
DeleteYou’re welcome! The sites I listed are a good place to start, if you want to meet friendly bloggers. Also, I encourage you to join: http://www.largeassmovieblogs.com/
I submitted a couple of weeks ago and I'm waiting for their response. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Delete@Cristi B: Have fun with joining the LAMB! Twitter is worth considering, if you want your blog to gain more exposure. I tweet all my blogposts, and gain hits that way.
DeleteI'll take that into consideration.
DeleteSad times, you will be missed Chris! Don't be a stranger now, come back to the blogosphere soon! But enjoy that break too! And thanks for always pointing people my way!
ReplyDelete@Pete Turner: Thanks, it will be weird with the change. But I ’ll be back for year-end lists, and next year for a few marathons(favorite short films for sure), but I don’t know if I’ll be blogging every week in 2014.
DeleteHave a good break Chris. I look forward to your return.
ReplyDelete@TheVern: Thanks for the support. I look forward to returning recharged in the new year :)
DeleteHave a good break! Hope to see you back soon!
ReplyDelete@Lights Camera Reaction: Thank you!
DeleteHave a good break :) Sometimes a little time off and just getting yourself sorted is a whole lot more important than blogging. Sometimes ;)
ReplyDeleteSee you on the otherside!
@Jaina: Thanks! I agree, got to sort out the big issues, and updating the blog is secondary. See you in 2014!
DeleteSometimes it's nice to get away. Enjoy your break, and best of luck finding a new place!
ReplyDelete@Eric: Too much of the same thing this year I guess. Thanks for your continued support!
DeleteHope you'll have an excellent time finding new home and taking a break. Looking forward for you year end list, I hope you're well. And I also have couple of books I've been neglected, hmm.
ReplyDelete@Andina: I’m well thanks, hope you are too. It will be great to have a bit more space, when I move to a new place. I’m working on the year-end lists, and look forward to yours!
DeleteEvery Christmas and birthday my pile of unread books gets bigger, got to work on that :)
Hope you have a good break and find a great new place. You're be a big loss to the blogging world.
ReplyDelete@Keith: Thank you! Nice feeling to be missed.
DeleteHave a nice and productive time away from the blogs. Your huge and insightful monthly recaps will be missed.
ReplyDelete@niels85: Thank you! Nice to hear the effort I put into the blog is appreciated. I'd like to continue the monthly recaps, maybe in the future. I’ll be back in January for year-end lists.
DeleteThanks so much for the link, Chris! :) Enjoy your break. Look forward to having you back in the blogosphere in the next month or so.
ReplyDelete@Josh: You’re welcome, happy to send a bit of traffic your way. Thanks, I’ll be back soon. I’ve been working on my year-end lists, and will be the same as previous years: Top 100 songs(spread out this time into ten posts), favorite albums of 2013, fav old movies seen, and fav new films seen.
DeleteSounds awesome! I've also been working on my year-end album/movie lists, as well as ballots for film and music.
Delete@Josh: Look forward to your year-end album/movie lists!
