Thank you for giving me the will (dadum-tssssh) to continue! I am definitely looking forward to meeting Mr. Dean Howells and his opinions. Maybe even the next time I get to the library! It could happen!

The Blank Wall Test originates (at least in my awareness) with Roger Ebert, who noted with awe the first time he saw a movie that was not an improvement on watching a blank wall for the same period of time. My blank wall tolerance is probably a little higher than Ebert's.
