Three Things Meme

I tagged lucretius with the Four Things Meme but he was feeling his oats and came up with a Three Things variant with some different ideas. I've always liked lists of three because you can remember them more easily. You know, it's the first one, the last one, and the one in the middle. At least that's the way my mind works. I also like some of the subjects he came up with, so I'm going to indulge myself. Can you tell I'm addicted to memes? I think you can. Feel free to join in and link us all to your memey goodness.

Three favorite snacks
My husband can verify that I'm a moody eater and this is always due to change. But the current list is:

1. Hershey's Dark Kisses
2. Peanut butter crackers and Mt. Dew
   
3. Jello
   

Three bad habits

1. Eating out
2. IMDB
3. Biting my nails
   

Three things I was doing 10 years ago

1. Working at Sam Goody's
2. Experiencing a personal crisis (which sucked except that I dropped at least two sizes that January alone)
   
3. The movie I went to that month was From Dusk Till Dawn. That was ten years ago? Sheesh... I didn't realize that I'd disliked Tarantino this long.
   

The last subject was the one that really intrigued me. Over at Velociraptors on the Space Shuttle Matt pointed out that you really can't pick the Oscar worthy movies until ten years later. They sort of need to age. It's probably the best perspective to look at everything.

Stephen Colbert, You Rock My World. And That's The Truthiness of It.

Stephen Colbert Fights Back About 'Truthiness'

"The fact that they looked it up in a book just shows that they don't get the idea of truthiness at all," Colbert said Thursday. "You don't look up truthiness in a book, you look it up in your gut."

Though slight, the difference of Colbert's definition and the OED's is essential. It's not your typical truth, but, as The New York Times wrote, "a summation of what (Colbert) sees as the guiding ethos of the loudest commentators on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN."

Colbert, who referred on his program to the AP omission as a "journalistic travesty," said Thursday that it was similar to the much-criticized weapons of mass destruction reporting leading up to the Iraq War.

"Except," he said, "people got hurt this time."

Thank you, "JAKE COYLE, AP." You may work for the biggest threat to our Nation, but at least you "get it." All those other journalists may be all fact and no heart, but you see the truthiness in the situation.

Resident Blonde Reports

Heh-heh. Best blonde joke ever. Really.

Truthiness Makes History

Congratulations Stephen! Truthiness is Word of the Year for 2005! And even though Heather Clark tried to rob you, some of us knew immediately the... truthiness... of the situation.
