I'm so trendy.

But in a dry, esoteric way, so no one notices. It's stealthy, is what it is.

"That's kind of a novel idea," I had thought, no-pun-intendedly. "I'll blog my reading of Moby Dick." Then someone told me about that Blogging the Bible project over at Slate. Okay, fine. So at least one other person had a similar idea. Before I did.

And now, not fifteen minutes ago, I see this absolutely charming movie preview.

Apparently, it's based on the true story of a woman who found fame, fortune and happiness blogging her journey through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. This Julie Powell person then turned her blog into a book: My Year of Cooking Dangerously.

Wait ... isn't there also a book called The Year of Living Biblically? Yes, there is. How 'bout that? Seems there's a whole pile of writing out there that takes an old classic to task in one way or another. The Bible gets it twice as much, by my count so far.

Wikipedia calls Julia and Julia "the first major motion picture based on a blog," by the way. Do you think that could happen to me?

Who would play Starbuck?

If I really wanted that kind of publicity and exposure (hee!), I could blog my way through something like 1972's The Joy of Sex. When did I read that ... 1996? I remember the author really dug armpit-hair on women. (Oh, look: that's all that NPR remembers about it, too!)

Okay, no then.
