- If someone brings up the show Wipeout! in conversation I check out. Right then. Completely.
- Glee is almost dead to me. I like the music, but the plot is already getting old and until someone throws a Jim Jones flavored blue slushie in Finn’s face and rids us of his voice, I’m out.
- When setting up a wedding registry, consider the depth of your bowls and whether or not you will be consuming cereal from them (you will unless you’re some kind of heathen). Then don’t register for the shallow bowls, register for the deeper ones. For those of you getting Fiesta Ware that means register your place settings in PIECES, skip the bowl included in place settings, and opt for the Gusto Bowl. You will thank me later.
- I cannot visit the “Confessions” section of the Pioneer Woman blog without Usher’s song running through my head.
- It’s funny, that one episode of I Love Lucy left a permanent impression on me about the use of wallpaper. Never, EVER will I attempt to put that stuff up.
- I have a problem with my sweat not making it through my pores correctly and I’ve never been one to sweat much anyway, so that makes the heat and humidity we’ve been experiencing lately very uncomfortable. So far it hasn’t been too bad, but you can feel it coming. In the past I’ve had problems with going outside and immediately getting a headache from the heat or becoming nauseated. What can I say…made of sugar
- Heather emailed me yesterday to tell me the stereo she’d had for about 15 years almost being consumed by her pet grendel, Annie. It somehow survived and works better than it did before. Made me think of my little purple boombox (circa 1994) biting it with tape 3 of Wuthering Heights stuck in it.
- I don’t consider listening to audio books “reading.” Fact.
- Twenty-two pages into Yiyun Li’s The Vagrants and it’s fabulous. Read it.

I feel the same about Glee. Also: people keep spoiling it for me. I feel like, “What is the point in watching anymore?”
@Becca – Hate spoilers. I think people don’t take Glee as seriously and end up sharing without really thinking.
Yeah, Glee’s getting old for me. I put it on in the background and do something else. I kind of hope they lose at regionals. Did I say that?
I recently saw that episode of I Love Lucy. I’m glad wallpaper isn’t so popular anymore…
Oh, and I don’t consider e-books real books, either. So I understsand.
For some reason I really liked this entry! It’s so… conversational.
I like entries where people share truly random things about themselves. I, being quite narcissistic, hope people like those entries when I write them too. LOL
So, I have fiesta place settings AND gusto bowls (ask me what I don’t have), and I don’t mind eating cereal out of the cereal bowls. Gusto bowls are a good depth but they’re too big. No one should eat that much cereal! I actually like the small cereal bowls for cereal, but I don’t have any of those.
I can understand not considering audio books real “reading” (it’s not, after all), but if I listened to a book, can I say that I’ve read it? I mean… technically I have, for lack of a better term, “consumed” the book. I listen to a lot of audio books because I have a long commute in horrible traffic. They, and NPR, keep me calm. As does reading, as a matter of fact!
After this last episode I’m over GLEE as well. Actually I think I checked out last week.
Also, I’ve added The Vagrants to a TO BE READ pile. Can’t wait!
Agreed, about the listening to audio books not being considered reading.
Just saying hi!
@Misti – Hi! I’m keeping up with you guys! Love the new hair
@Jolene – Yeah, it’s just over for me. I’ll probably continue listening to the music, but they have GOT to get their storytelling together.
@Rose – I love sharing random things. Half the time I do it on accident anyway.
I didn’t realize they HAD smaller cereal bowls. My issue is with the depth and the increased chance of splashing. Not a lot of room for error there.
I don’t know. For me, the experience of listening to a book is completely different from reading it myself. As in, I have it in my head but in a very different way than if I had read it. I feel like a book is part of me if I have read it. Not so much if I have listened. However, I am not an auditory learner. Visual, visual, visual.
@Angela – e-book = SAME.
Re: learning: Ah. I am one of those learners that requires at least one of each method… stupid slow, basically. *eye roll*
