When a Blog Says "Feed Me!"

Joel Achenbach, Washington Post columnist and blogger echoes the secret sentiments of many a blogger who's noticed his or her blog behaving like the insatiable "Feed Me" plant in "Little Shop of Horrors":

The blog is hungry. The blog will not be ignored. It is an insatiable little beast, a creature still unclassified by science -- hairy, warty, slobbering, with its own fiendish agenda. I often fantasize about killing the blog, but I worry that it will respond just like the crazed computer in "2001: A Space Odyssey": It will try to kill me first.

I am constantly having to post something new just to make the blog interested in me again.
