Who’d have thought that nasty vapo-rub stuff actually worked?
And because I’m still not at 100 percent, some memes.
“Things I Can Be Bribed With”
I can only think of three:
1. Lush products
2. A cure for this crud
3. Unreleased episodes of The Wire
| Guilt |
What is yours? |
Explain yourself |
| Culinary: |
Homemade gingerbread and/or banana bread. |
They seem vaguely healthy and wholesome, yet are totally not. |
| Literary: |
LiveJournal. Also, Vogue. |
Because when I’m supposed to be revising my novel, what’s better than surfing trainwrecks or finding out that we are due for another glamazon moment? |
| Audiovisual: |
That I didn’t like Firefly. |
I tried. And perhaps I will try again. But so far, it hasn’t done it for me. |
| Musical: |
That I listen to the same things over and over. |
I am all about the auditory comfort zones. But then I feel bad that there are zillions of artists out there that I’d probably totally love, if I would just stop listening to the Mountain Goats and the Magnetic Fields and Veda Hille to find out. |
| Celebrity: |
I can’t think of anyone. |
I mean, I’d say Philip Seymour Hoffman, but I feel no guilt about adoring his work. |

Especially when smeared with butter — my favorite way to eat them.
I keep telling myself that banana bread has bananas in it — that’s a good thing, right?

So un-kewl.

February 24, 2006 at 4:03 amI don’t see what’s wrong with not having a boner for Firefly.
Best summary of said series: “It’s like Joss Whedon giving you a sensual massage.”

February 24, 2006 at 4:30 amOooh, I was gonna ask about what unreleased episodes of The Wire there are… I just finished watching Season Two, and I’m still thinking about its analysis/use of a longshoreman’s union that could have been the Teamsters. Also (should I spoiler-alert this?) What is up with a main character dying? Sad, sad, sad. It made sense, I guess. But still. Man, I love that show.
Also, ditto on the banana bread is “healthy”, also zucchini bread (even “healthier”! I mean, it’s practically BROCCOLI, already.) And, I love the Mountain Goats. They’re almost enough to listen to, really.
