Following certain rather snarky remarks by a blogger that shall not be named, I want to clarify that in the preceding post I’m not actually expressing excitement; I feign excitement. Or rather, I am of course excited and my faux excitement is a way of mocking myself and commenting on my excitement, and at the same time expressing my genuine excitement in an ironical fashion. Now, admittedly my excitement is caused in part by my appreciation for the silliness of these sort of things, and by my enjoyment of being ridiculous, and in that sense it’s not really seriously meant. So there are layers upon layers of earnestness and pretense in the post.
