I have been sitting here for five minutes trying to think of a way to eke a post out of what is in front of me, that being a glass of wine, a bag of Spicy Thai Kettle Chips, and two stacks of overdue library books. It can’t be done, I tell you. The revolver in my NaBloPoMo sidebar button is looking more and more menacing. Yesterday I was reduced to posting a picture of myself holding a chicken (in which I am looking fondly at the ground, possibly thinking “Mmm…fricassee”).
And so, I am throwing myself on your mercy:
What do you want me to talk about? Are you dying to hear my opinion on sleep (pro) or violence (anti)? Do you yearn for more tales of my wacky, mixed up ovaries? Or, perhaps you are more interested in current events–just who should win America’s Next Top Model, anyway?
I can tell you right now that these hot, gingery potato chips are a regular taste sensation. In fact, here are my predictions for 2007, six weeks early:
In:……………………………………..Out:
Spicy Thai Kettle Chips………..Spelt
Britney……………………………….K-Fed
Pretty…………………………………Ugly
Sanity…………………………………Leggings
Cats……………………………………Dogs
Ice Cream……………………………Spelt
Rory…………………………………..Lorelei
Democrats…………………………..Republicans
Baths………………………………….Showers
Friday Night Lights……………..Actual Football
Wedding Rings…………………….Engagement Rings
The New……………………………..The Old

Oooh, I gotta try those spicy little bastards! I am not a chip eater – nay, not at all. But I purchased some Cheddar Beer Kettle Chips on a lark; within two minutes, I’d emptied the bag, sliced it open with a box cutter and tongue-bathed the entire interior surface. I mean to say, those are some GOOD CHIPS.
I should’ve done NaBloPoMo. Instead of… SHHHHH!… the other one.
Personally, I’m thrilled to see baths finally get the recognition they deserve.
Showers have held the limelight for WAY too long.
Thank you for putting leggings in the out category. I just returned from uptown and they seem to be the in thing under miniscule skirts. Ick.
I must argue that cats will never be “in”.
I have a bag of regular kettle chips in the pantry right now, and they are so calling my name. I’ve been wanting to try the Cheddar Beer variety, and I’m glad to see that Jul says they’re good. I had a feeling they would be – I mean, how could fried potatoes and cheese in any form be bad?
Does no one have anything they want me to write about? No questions? No requests?
Here’s one: The first time you realized you were a girl, and that there were expectations attached to that status.
I want to hear more about your childhood exploits. I was such a little mousy wallflower, I want to live vicariously through you.
In and Out is awesome too, though…may I steal it? :)
LOVE those chips! May I also recommend the salt & pepper variety? yum.
Who should win America’s Next Top Model? My favorite (AJ) left a long time ago.
this was a brilliant start to my day. even when you have “nothing” to write, you make me happy.
i was going to suggest childhood exploits as well. or… best and worst jobs you’ve ever had? most influental book(s) ever read? favorite character from literature/the comics/tv? ways to assissinate Ms. Rothschild?
Thank G-d that pretty is in and ugly is out because then…by default…I am in for 2007. I’m thanking those gorgeous genes right about now :-)
In: high self-esteem
Out: modesty
And I’m putting in a vote for childhood stories.
I feel slightly insane, for I swear I left a comment about Tandoori chips and how a primer about your wacky ovaries and experiences to date for newbies would be good, but I do not, DO NOT, know where it is! I have gone made!
(Baja Papadam chips. OMG.)
Mad. Gone mad. Or made. I think both are illustrative to my current state.
