Get on the bus, Charlie Brown!
Technically, it’s Saturday. But I’ve never done The Friday Five before, so I guess I’m in the clear.
1. What was the last TV show you watched?
Actually watched? A re-run of Dharma and Greg. Some more cheesy stuff came on after that, but I was paying attention to my computer at that time.
2. What was the last thing you complained about?
In real life? The fact that I’m burnt out on music and movie shopping. The sad truth is that shopping online lacks the tactile sensations and atmosphere of shopping in a brick-and-mortar store. But when you get to the actual brick-and-mortar store, they’re trying so hard to match an online store’s selection that their selection outstrips their space or any organizational system that makes sense. The result? You can either click around online and slowly feel your life drain away from you, or you can go to a store and walk out completely numbed and empty-handed because you couldn’t force yourself to browse the overflowing racks.
Virtually? Well, I was going to mention a rant I did on the fact that Girls Gone Wild has actually been licensed for a major motion picture, and that somebody actually thought it was a good idea, but then I wrote that rant about movie shopping. So I guess my “virtually” answer is the same as my “in real life” answer.
3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
Speaking about somebody I didn’t know all that well, I said, “I haven’t had much chance to talk to her, but she seems incredibly cool.”
4. What was the last thing you threw away?
An empty Diet Pepsi bottle.
5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
William Gibson’s blog.
Well, that was painless. Wonder what comes up next week.
