Tagging myself
Since everyone essentially thinks I'm blogdead because I've basically alienated them either through sheer apathy or totally ignoring them, I can understand why I don't get invited to participate in memes anymore. Still, a girl likes to think she might get invited to the popular birthday party every now and again. So since no one tagged me, I'm tagging myself for the Caesar Meme:
[and yes...I'm TOTALLY self-sabotaging myself by thinking it's much more important to self-meme then, say, do my last three bond-valuation problems for Finance. Word.]
Said meme takes its name from Mel Brooks' A History of the World (Part I), and, upon receiving it, one is supposed to list five things that one's circle of friends or peer group is wild about, but that one can’t really understand the fuss over. Quoth Caesar, "Nice. Nice. Not thrilling . . . but nice."
1. Lost. Blame it on my incessant, bordering on almost obsessive-compulsive nature that by missing just the pilot episode of a show, it's complete ruined and off-limits for me because I'll be hopelessly lost in terms of character, plot, and storyline, but there you have it. I do intend on watching the thing when it comes out on DVD but I can honestly tell you, there is NO. WAY. the writers can wrap up what I understand to be so many subplots, in any believable or rewarding way. Red herrings suck as a Deus ex Machina.
2. Scissor Sisters. Ruin "Comfortably Numb" and I just won't have it. Sorry.
3. Blackberry phones. I own one and my work email hasn't been migrated over to Exchange yet so I'm not really totally connected but I'm positive that nothing good can come of it. Also, after texting "tikes" to someone today instead of "yikes", I can find no earthly purpose for text-messaging other then to keep me from being bored between meetings.
4. Blog flavors of the month. What is this, 2002?
5. Umm...I guess that's it. I'm totally into everything everyone else is.
And, because I'm self-meming, I'm not tagging anyone else, either.
If you can get past the ruination of "Comfortably Numb," the rest of the Scissor Sisters album has some real gems on it. Seriously. I thought the Pink Floyd remake bordered on blasphemous, but with one button on the iPod I don't need to listen to it and can still enjoy the rest of a really good album.

Anyway, just for that, I'll make sure to meme you the next time!
Posted by: Lee at May 15, 2005 1:17 AMDon't feel bad, Beau. No one tagged me either. Feh.
Posted by: Jeff at May 15, 2005 8:59 PMI was GOING to "tag" you, but thought you were above this kind of stuff. Just like *I* am!
I forgot to include "Desperate Housewives" on my list. Haven't watched it, won't watch it, have no desire to even hear about it.
Posted by: Jodi at May 16, 2005 6:35 PMI'll trade you a LOST for an American Idol. I agree with all your pics. I HATE the Scissor Sisters; I know prepackaged fluff when I see and hear it.
Posted by: Jay at May 17, 2005 3:53 PMI almost put Scissor Sisters on my own list, I really don't get it. At all. Plus don't they have some connection to Elton? Ick.
And what the fuck is a "blog flavor of the month?"
Posted by: Scott at May 18, 2005 12:09 PMok, Mr. Blogdead, you asked for it. Book meme. Tag. You're it. heh heh heh, and of course you have all KINDS of time for this, right?
Anyways, here's the game - answer the following q's please:
1. How many books have you owned in your life?
2. What's the last book that you bought?
3. What's the last book that you read?
4. List 5 books that mean a lot to you. (I of course didn't just list but went into excruciating detail - not required to be quite as excruciating as me but some explanation would be nice!
5. Now tag 5 people!
Enjoy!
