Eleventy-One Caltechgirl Things
I keep seeing things I want to blog about or link, which is kind of funny considering I have gotten easily bored with blog reading lately, for some reason, and I keep being too busy to do anything about it. However, a blog doesn’t live by Sadie alone, so I thought I would make an effort to hit one or two this morning.
Notable for being the first person I have seen using the same eleventy-one things concept I did instead of a plain old 100, Caltechgirl has done her own eleventy-one things. Better still, it is more concise and interesting than mine, which I just noticed is number one in Google for eleventy-one things, and number nine in Google for just plain eleventy-one. Cool.
She was completely unaware I had used eleventy-one, but hey, great minds and all that.
Anyway, some commentary obscure and not so much so on CTG’s list:
11 - Hate is a strong word, but yeah, I prefer mine with things like nuts.
13 - This made me laugh, but Deb was too distracted for me to go tell her about it.
19 - I love those guys, even if they aren’t my all time favorite. It would probably sound terrible to anyone else, but Bridge Over Troubled Water is quite possible my favorite sing-along song.
20 - Smart. Me too, though in my heyday it was tapes and $9 and mostly under $10.
21 - Sounds like my brother Gary. Me, kind of, but it’s also stressful.
22 - Why did I never think of that!? It’s so… me.
26 - Not convinced of the former, but certain of the latter, which probably made the former harder.
28 - Whenever something bad happens to me, I try to think of what it might be for. Which is to say, me too. I’ve seen it happen too many times.
33 - Heh. I can relate.
37 - Dude! This blew me away. I have merely read a couple of his books.
38 - One of my toppers too, and I’d buy them. Hello the TV people… you don’t cancel a program in the middle of a frikkin cliffhanger!! And then run TV movies on a cable network to tie things up! Which luckily I was able to borrow from a friend, eventually. I went through a brief Days of Our Lives addiction when he was on it, so I already liked the actor, even if the DoL storyline with him and that obnoxious doctor named Robin was stupid.
47 - I do. But I hate weeding. It goes back to that routine maintenance/repetitious tasks problem I have.
52 - Dude! Must be a Fresno thing. Deb does this so much that she has me doing it now. I believe I have even called Sadie “little dudelette” once or twice.
53 - How strange. Beatles over Stones for me, but some of the pre-1980 before they lost their way or talent or something Stones stuff is good.
64 - Hey Deb, she must secretly be a New Englandah!
67 - Could be worse. The nearest Jack in the Box to us is in… North Carolina! At least we have Trader Joe’s here, if we care to brave the traffic.
69 - This made me laugh too. Reminds me of the movie line “have you seen Mike Hunt.”
82 - Never had that problem, but we did have the “stop reading and go to sleep,” flashlight under the covers kinds of battles. I credit both parents with influencing me to be a reader. My father used to read science fiction at the table while eating supper. My mother read to us and made sure we had books.
96 - Same here!!!! We’ll see the show come on and yell at the TV “no they don’t!” as we change channels.
102 - Yup. People tend to forget these things.
110 - Conversely, I always seemed to relate better to the girls, even though my fewer, very best friends were usually guys.
111 - Yay for the right one!
And my first thought, on reading #23, is that it only really counted in 1592.
