The NY Times has an article about the "25 Things" meme. [link] Including quotes from several professors about why it's so popular.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Barb, on your white-font, that's the same question I had!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think there are 25 things most people don't know about me that I actually want to share.

Shrift, do you have in stock a good quick dry top coat, like Poshe, Seche Vite, or Out the Door?
Nope. I don't paint my nails very often. I realized that I was biting my nails while at work, and painting them is the quickest way I know to break the habit.
But I will look for a good quick dry top coat, because winter isn't going anywhere, and painting my nails bizarre colors is an easy pick-me-up.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I read the article on 25 things. I'm not sure I could list 25 things no one knows. I might be able to think of 25 things that I think are interesting about me

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The NY Times has an article about the "25 Things" meme.
I love that all the people cited also took part in the meme. Plus, Jim Beaver!

Watched the posthumous Mark Twain award given to George Carlin. I think he would have appreciated the irony of it being "made possible by a grant from Merrill Lynch" followed by an extended Merrill Lynch commercial enhanced acknowledgment.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think they are overthinking that, honestly.

“Not dead yet!”
quester, I'm so glad it wasn't just me! Because it was just an immediate reaction, turning to Lewis and saying OMG, Chris??
I've also got to go back and look at what the folder said on the front, I think it was "Aeres Project" with some Russian font on the bottom of the seal. This definitely is going up several notches.

All the talk about LoM reminds me that I have two unwatched episodes of The Closer to catch up on.
