Wow — I’m all literary and shit. This very generous mention in The New York Observer is a much needed ego boost on the same day that this blog has finally fallen off Blogger.com’s Blogs of Note.

Some facts about that wild ride: On Tuesday, April 8, when Angry John Sellers appeared on Blogger’s list, unique visits to this website increased from my typical average of 75 per day to over 4,000. As my blog slowly descended the Blogs of Note ladder as new “notables” were added over the subsequent two weeks, unique visits to this site plateaued at around 600 per day — still a pretty tidy number. Sadly, we’re back in the double digits today, which makes me feel like Willie Aames circa Celebrity Fit Club vis a vis Charles in Charge. Where my commenters at?
