It's interesting what we grab onto as signs of accomplishments as we move along the ladder in area of interest, employment, community activities etc.
In the blogosphere it's a thrill to have an A List blogger leave a comment on our blogs. Heck a C Lister will do fine for me.
I keep slipping back from Lowly Insect to
Crunchy Crustacean in The TTLB Blogosphere Ecosystem. This is so pitiful I'm thinking of putting up a sign "Will Work for Links."
Beyond blogging, being asked to teach a class or write about our work, our theories, our
whatever - would be an accomplishment to almost any of us. Musicians want a record to go platinum - or just get airplay. Painters want solo shows and the more earthbound are happy if our creation is published in Cloth Paper Scissors.
It turns out that what terms we use to describe these achievements is interesting, which I noticed when reading an email from one of daughter #2's old high school boyfriend. His mailing list updates us on the progress of his acting career and today it announced that he will be:
"Co-Starring (fancy
Hollywood term for having like 2 lines) on the Season Finale of "Boston Legal"
starring Emmy winners James Spader, Candice Bergen, and William Shatner"
