I don't mind either of them, I'm reasonably glad they're around, and about once a year I may even watch something on PBS, but in general, I'd rather not.

I'm perfectly happy to lounge in bed reading, mind you, but sleeping my life away? No.Naryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369280617520806983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322617848676783322.post-51053021267802616442008-02-25T22:13:00.000-05:002008-02-25T22:13:00.000-05:00Narya, I'll take your naps, if you're not using th...Narya, I'll take your naps, if you're not using them.<BR/><BR/>And Ann, I'll take your walks.

Working out. I like having done it, which is ...1. Working out. I like <I>having done it</I>, which is not the same thing at all.<BR/>2. Fast food. It's not difficult for me to avoid it, because I don't like it. I don't like the taste--chemicals, sugar, and salt--or the process or anything about it.<BR/>3. Naps. Occasionally I'll be so tired that I'll crash in the middle of the day, but that's more an unavoidable thing. I don't like how they make me feel.<BR/>4. Nearly all television. Y'all know that I like sports (except for things like American Gladiator or cage wrestling or whatthefuckever), and I'll occasionally get into watching The Daily Show, but I can go for weeks without watching anything other than sports (and often go days without watching anything at all).<BR/>5. An assortment of "girly" things--manicures and pedicures are the two that come to mind, and nail polish in general. I don't dislike those things because they're supposedly girly, I dislike them because of their own essences. I mean seriously: paying someone else $20 or more to file your nails and paint them? Why?<BR/><BR/>Despite my love of LOTR--the books rather than the movies, though I like the movies well enough--I don't care whether others like it. I do think people should appreciate what Tolkien did, in the sense of writing the books as a backstory for the languages he invented, but one doesn't have to like the stories themselves. And, Larry, while I will never try to convince you that DMB is The Best Thing Ever, I have to disagree with the reasons you gave. You can not like him til the cows come home, but I don't argue with people over musical likes and dislikes.Naryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369280617520806983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322617848676783322.post-81768872674537878972008-02-25T19:24:00.000-05:002008-02-25T19:24:00.000-05:00I've already taken lots of heat for LOTR.
