Let's Do This.

I enjoy having taste in terrible things that quickly jump the shark. I like to catch them right when the skis are being strapped on, all the way through the deep squat right before the jump. Then I like to suddenly bail and totally act like I don't know what anyone is talking about when they ask if I'm excited for the new Twilight/Season of Jersey Shore/Sarah Palin to run for Presi-Bear. I mean I really don't even know what you're talking about. You have me confused with someone else.

Here are a few things that I love that I hope never jump the shark. And if they do/have, I'll be waiting at the dock with a dry towel and welcoming arms:

1) Anything Anthony Bourdain does. I like his show, I love his new book, and loved his cooking class that Cory gifted me for Christmas. He's funny. Really, funny. He's like hanging out with an uncle who has emphysema and sits in a lawn chair and complains about things in a spot-on kind of way. But an uncle who has traveled the world and is married to a 20-something.

2) Anything Tina Fey does. I mean....I laughed so hard when I saw this today:

Sister knows man hands are ALWAYS a good idea!

3) The Radiohead station on Pandora. It works every time. It spans 1997 to the present with amazing precision.

4) Loving to wear things that look like they were found in a dead lady's garbage can. Anything found on ebay estate lots/garage sales/Last Chance/a dead lady's actual garbage can. Here are my new exciting finds that look especially too-much and senior-chic:

Here are a few things that have totally jumped the shark but I hope they can circle back and make a comeback when the time is right.

1) Blogging. Come on guys. At its worst it's totally self-absorbed, self-promoting, privacy exposing, popularity contest-y, and soap-boxy. Once someone told me she uses her blog to send out hidden "messages" to exes and old friends (yikes almighty and heaven help us all). BUT at its best, it's.....well......we can still have fun, right? You don't have to answer now. Just think about it and get back to me.

2) The phrase "Jump the Shark".

3) Lists about things.
