You know, just in case.

Been reading a few issues of Entertainment Weekly that I've been neglecting and you know, they're making me think.

Oh, no, not in a relevatory, life-changing, "what am I doing with my life/career?" type of way. No no no. EW, as much as I love it, doesn't generate that kind of thought. Except that Chris Nashawaty article on Jackie Earle Haley. Seriously.

Anyhow, I was reading all these articles where celebrities are like, "Oh I'm really into this right now and this book/author is absolutely tops and I can't live without this food and this is my favorite album ever."
And it got me thinking.
Well, first it got me thinking "Oooh, what would I say if I were famous and being asked about my favorite things?" And I was eating these Trader Joe's Everything-flavor Pretzel Slims. This was how my thought process was going...

"I'd definitely say these pretzel things. Trader Joe's in general. Food in more general. Food. Wine." (looking around) "There's that Anthony Bourdain book. Not crazy about this one, but Anthony Bourdain could be on the list. Oh, there's my planner. Day planners. Yeah. Can't live without them. And post-its. I really like the color of my planner. That shade of blue; that's going on the list. Hmmmmmm..." (looking more) "Those cheap, semi-disposable Glad-Ware containers. Can't live without those. Food. Already have that. Alright, music. Ummmm, what's in my CD player? What was the last song I listened to? Yeah. THAT's going on the list..."

And on and on.

This could go on forever. I would hate to be the person who interviewed me and asked about my favorite things. They'd have to devote an entire issue to me. Plus, most of them would be things that were immediately in front of me or fresh in my mind. By the time the issue came out, I might not even like half of them anymore. It would be about as useful as the damn In/Out/Five Minutes Ago "Shaw Report".

Latest EW issue says...
In: Plumcots.
Out: Tangelos.
Five minutes Ago: Tomaccos.

*sigh*

I've just exahusted myself.
I need some coffee.
Coffee is definitely on the list.
