vol. 38

i had an old roommate (andy) who used to say that something made the list -- as in the black list -- i was thinking about this on the ride in (is it fair to call a 5 minute commute a ride in?) to work this morning when i went back to back on the radio with groups that are on my list -- our lists derived from watching say anything and, in particular, a line said by lloyd dobler (john cusack) -- the line was: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."

so, in no particular order, these are some things on my list (i'm not really even going to get in to foods -- that would take a ton of space...)

• anything with drew barrymore in it -- beyond e.t., i defy you to convince me that anything else she has done is good...

• anything with bette midler in it or that she sings --

• anything by smashmouth

• anything by sugar ray -- this includes anything that mark mcgrath is hosting on tv
  

• super panda -- or other chinese buffets -- really, buffets in general unless i'm there right as they open -- otherwise, why in the world would i want to eat food that's been sitting under heating lamps all day long

• anything with barbra streisand in it or that she sings -- i have to admit, i let myself down and broke this boycott when i saw meet the fockers -- while i liked the movie, i seriously cringed every time i saw her in a scene -- and the thought of her being a sex instructor -- well... that's just nasty...

• anything with stiffler's mom in it -- don't know what her name is -- sure i could find it, but i'd rather refer to her as stiffler's mom -- she's just disgusting and it freaks me out to look at her...

• anything rachael ray -- enough said...

• anything by douglas coupland -- generation x came out in like 90 0r 91 and it was supposed to define my generation -- not even close -- he got pumped up as this incredible writer, but i just don't see it...

to each his own, i guess...
