This is mostly a bunch of random questions that Literary Feline answered on her blog not too long ago, and I thought it would be fun to do them myself. If you’d like to join in, please help yourself!

Time to learn something! 1. Go to Wikipedia.2. Click on “Random article” in the left-hand sidebar box.3. Post it! Well, I’ll be darned – there are actually still a (very) few non-coed colleges in the US that admit only men. Here’s one of them: Wabash College is a small private liberal arts college for men, located in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Along with Hampden-Sydney College, Deep Springs College, and Morehouse College, Wabash is one of only four […]
Ten on Tuesday 1-22: Way Back When
This week’s Ten on Tuesday prompt is “10 Things That Were Better ‘Way Back When’.” Way back when? I think that’s left unspecified on purpose, so you can go wherever you want to in your Wayback Machine with this one. Back to times you’ve read about, but don’t personally remember, like the turn of the century – 19th into 20th, that is? Back when your parents were kids – the 1950’s and 1960’s, maybe? When […]

Guest post – “Paulology”
I begged Tall Paul to let me put this up. It’s his version of the “Ology meme” I did earlier this week, and he decided to answer it himself during some downtime, which he then e-mailed to me. He’s a funny geek in a cool guy’s body. Well, he makes me laugh, anyway, so here’s my husband with his second guest post! MOUTHOLOGY Q. What is your salad dressing of choice?A. Italian. They make a […]
Got anything to eat? Food for thought
You’ve heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Do you agree? Do you agree in principle, but not in action? Seriously, you need to eat breakfast. It has so many proven benefits. Denise at BlogHer has a roundup of posts about the importance of breakfast, and it pointed me to the “What Kind of Breakfast Are You?” Blogthings quiz posted at Melody’s Reading Corner. Here’s what it told me: You […]
Booking Through (and right past) Thursday: “Let’s Review”
Thursday was a crazy day, so this is going up a little late! This week’s question is suggested by Puss Reboots: How much do reviews (good and bad) affect your choice of reading? If you see a bad review of a book you wanted to read, do you still read it? If you see a good review of a book you’re sure you won’t like, do you change your mind and give the book a […]
Florindology
Let others know a little bit more about you; repost this with your name and “ology” at the end – and your own answers, of course! I usually get this kind of thing via e-mail, but in this case, I picked up both the meme and the “self-definition quiz” at the end of it from Sunshine. MOUTHOLOGY Q. What is your salad dressing of choice?A. Ken’s Steakhouse brand Lite Northern Italian or Sweet Vidalia Onion; […]

Ten on Tuesday 1-15: 10 Movies That Disappointed You
This week’s Ten on Tuesday topic, “10 Movies That Disappointed You,” has been unexpectedly difficult for me. I have a few ideas why: I tend to base my decision on whether or not to see most movies on the consensus of reviews – and if they’re mostly unfavorable, I probably won’t go. Therefore, I avoid setting myself up to be disappointed in the first place. On the other hand, there are certain movies I will […]

In the eternal battle between the forces of light and darkness, which side are you on? How evil are you? Take the quiz and find out! Thanks to both the neutral Laurie and the angelic Deb for the link to this one.
