A List of Things
In a time of incredible stress, both personal and societal, I thought I’d make a list. There’s a need to dwell on things I like, both humorous and serious, but always interesting, since interesting is what I love best.
- The Daily Beast: I heard about this site on The Daily Show. It’s an odd assortment of news and doesn’t have the same gravitas as a full dose of The Economist, but the snippets are far-flung and amusing. I’m enjoying it.
- Anything Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey-as-Sarah Palin, and the Weekend Update crew on Saturday Night Live do.
- Fly Deportation Air: Things that make you go HUH? I just had to buy an emergency Southwest ticket. Due to it’s ridiculous price, I will not be able to visit family for Christmas. Is this right?
- Renewing the Vow: I’ve been eating out a lot again. Dammit! I’m restarting the vow right now. Cooking often helps calm me, even when I’m at the last nerve and beyond.
- FindLaw.com: Bucketloads of law all free for the perusing. Who knew you could actually learn something useful from school.
- Seasonal produce: If I’m to renew the Vow, I’d better get all excited about apples, pears, quince, mushrooms, and pomegranates. I have to somehow find the energy.
- Peggy Noonan’s column “Palin’s Failin’”: I especially enjoyed the following snippet: “… George W. Bush when he darts out like the bird in a cuckoo clock to tell us we are in crisis…” I always like a good similie and this one nailed it.
- The Killers’ new video for “Human” in which an older Brandon Flowers is looking fantastic. It was worth my $1.49 to iTunes.
