Pam tagged me weeks ago for the “8 Random Things” meme, and I’m just getting around to it! (Sometimes randomness isn’t as easy as you might think it is.) Here are the rules:Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names. […]

Friday Q&A
Since I try to keep it to one post a day around here, here’s one that goes all over the map. I haven’t started a new book yet, so this week, theiPod Random Ten is subbing for the Page 123 Meme. BTW, my husband suggested some more interesting titles for this meme feature – I liked “Frid’ Meme Tomatoes” the best. What do you think? Tuesday Thingers Today’s question is about tags- do you tag?

Ten on Tuesday: Workin’ it, annoyingly
10 Things That Annoy You About Work What, we have to stop at ten? We had a similar topic last summer, “10 Things You Don’t Like About Your Job,” so I thought I’d start with those and see if anything has changed (last year’s item is in italics, with a strikeout if it doesn’t apply anymore, and no follow-up comment if it’s still about the same). The commute Still annoying, but now I’m paying more […]
Friday Fill-ins (on Saturday)…with bonus!
In order to compensate for not having the “Friday Fill-ins” done on Friday, I’ve got some extra ones in the second half of this post. ===================================== Friday Fill-Ins #75 Questions courtesy of One Knutty Knitter. Idle hands are probably holding a book (if they’re mine, that is). I love my shower creams and gels from The Body Shop in the shower. My favorite time of the day is when I get home from the office! […]
Friday, Friday – Q&A Day
I’ve been trying to come up with a good encompassing title for my Friday collected-memes post. For now, I think I’m going with “Friday Q&A,” since most of them do involve answering questions. There’s a new one in the mix this week, too. Tuesday Thingers: Why LT? Tuesday Thingers is a new meme especially for LibraryThing users, recently launched by The Boston Bibliophile. This week’s Tuesday Thingers question is: Why LT? Why did you choose […]
The iPod Random Ten, back again (again!)
The iPod Random Ten comes via Karen from Verbatim, and was recently discovered by another Karen, the one from Planet Books. I haven’t done it for awhile myself, but now I’m trying to keep up with the Karens, so I’m bringing it back. Original Karen makes it a Friday feature at her blog, but I think it’s going to be more random here in terms of the day it appears – I think that’s fitting, […]
Ten on Tuesday: (Not) waiting on the world to change
This week’s Ten on Tuesday asks for “10 Ways the World Has Changed Since You’ve Been in School.” In which school, I wonder? I haven’t been in a classroom full-time since I graduated from university in April 1987, and those twenty-one years have seen some pretty big changes in life as we know it. However, if I go back to high school (let’s hear it for the Class of ’82!) – not that anyone would […]
Friday Follies 5-30: book through, fill in…
What is Reading, Fundamentally? Suggested by: Thisisnotabookclub What is reading, anyway? Novels, comics, graphic novels, manga, e-books, audiobooks — which of these is reading these days? Are they all reading? Only some of them? What are your personal qualifications for something to be “reading” — why? If something isn’t reading, why not? Does it matter? Does it impact your desire to sample a source if you find out a premise you liked the sound of […]
Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha – this meme’s NOT for you!
I haven’t quite decided whether I plan to see the Sex and the City movie or not. I came late to the TV show since I didn’t have HBO for a few years, but I enjoyed it in a non-obsessive manner. Seeing the movie partly depends on whether anyone wants to make it a girls’ afternoon/night out; failing that, I’ll have to decide whether I want to see it enough to go on my own. […]
Ten on Tuesday: Time’s a-wastin’!
You would think that a Ten on Tuesday topic like “10 Favorite Time Wasters” would be a breeze…but it didn’t turn out that way for me. That isn’t to say I never putter around and waste time, of course. It’s more that I can’t come up with ten specific, different ways that I do it – most of my time-wasting activities fall into fairly broad categories. I’m also inclined to consider something more of a […]
Friday Follies: fill in 123 books
Books vs Movies Suggested by: Superfastreader Books and films both tell stories, but what we want from a book can be different from what we want from a movie. Is this true for you? If so, what’s the difference between a book and a movie? Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the […]
Ten on Tuesday: Movies My Husband Can’t Wait to See
This week’s Ten on Tuesday prompt, “10 Movies You’re Excited About Seeing,” was just made for my husband. Tall Paul is always downloading movie trailers and checking out the latest information on IMDb, so I’m turning the blog over to him for this post. Here are 10 movies that Tall Paul is excited about seeing, either this summer or whenever they make it into theaters. (For the record, I’m with him on #1, #4, and […]
