Since I have little-to-nothing to do while I sit in my office all day (starting, as I may have mentioned, much earlier than I might generally like, blarrrrrgh), I read a lot. Now, mind you, I do not read things like books while I sit, nigh motionless, at my desk. I have to surf the web, trolling for interesting content to brighten my otherwise pointless day.
"Interesting content" usually consists of reading all of the articles on Slate, scrolling through CNN, and checking my e-mail about 25 times a day. Looking up clothes on Armani Exchange and Abercrombie, reading my dose of web comics, looking up recipes and reading treatises on egg poaching technique.
Then, I will study guides to Jazz-Age Slang. I will look up the provenance of random words. I will read my daily dose of blogs which I shall not link here as they are all linked, handily, just off to the right there. I know a little bit about Zan and Jayna and a lot about fluffy mackerel pudding. I play Zuma and Crossword, and I watch a lot of movie trailers. Lately I have been reading about paladins, and I always spend a tremendous amount of time on AIM.
The topics of study today, however, are as follows: paint colors, and the naming thereof. And, naturally, "You Can't Do That On Television".
You remember that show, right? Moose? Barth? What do you think's in the burgers? Opposite sketches? Alasdair?? My research on this topic has turned up an interesting fact: although I did not realize it at the time, being but a pre-teen and all. But in retrospect? I think it is safe to say that I had something approaching a crush on little Alasdair. It was not a crush exactly, but I think I definitely had a stronger appreciation for him than was merited by his acting ability alone. And just in case you do not have the time to crawl all over that site: All growed up and attending SlimeCons. I wonder how long it takes to drive to Ottawa...
