Write About Now

a list for friday—things that are apparently a big deal but I don’t know why

Planking.

Foursquare. Do you really care that I’m at Target….again?

Tattoos. Much love to my friends who have them, but I just don’t get it.

Cupcakes.

Shark Week.




The Cheesecake Factory. Have you EVER been there when it’s not so crowded you’re touching strangers inappropriately?

American Idol.

Pinterest. (Didn’t Evernote do this first, and better?)

Christmas cards. To everyone I know: I wish you a very happy Christmas. There—done.

Chex Mix. It smells like cat food.

Fabric softener.

Citizen Kane.

What “big deal” things seem smallish (or downright pointless) to you?

  4. I do have to disagree on the fabric softner. i have to have it…and have to have the sheets too…and it must be strongly scented to the point in which my entire apt complex knows i’m doing laundry.

  6. Direct sales businesses (i.e, jewelry, handbags, cosmetics, cleaning products). What is so special about these products that justifies their being marked up so high?

  7. I was with you until you said citizen kane. You just have to realize he’s inventing modern cinematography and directing in front of you. It seems boring now because that stuff is commonplace now.
