Caroline’s recent “Five Things” posts reminded me that I haven’t done one of these in a while. And because I like her gimmick, I’m stealing it. To make up for lost time, here are five lists.
Five recent obsessions
- Fantasy football.
- Real football.
- Chicken wings.
- Polka dots.
- Christina Hendricks (Daaaaaaaaaaamn).
Five recent stressors
- Clara’s oil pressure (or lack thereof).
- Neo-Nazis in Baltimore.
- The MARC train’s unreliability and general shittiness.
- 90°F+ and humid weather for the last week.
- Quipu has been grumpy lately.
Five things that cause me white-hot, apoplectic road rage
- Sitting at a green light.
- Driving less than 10mph over the speed limit.
- Driving slower than I am.
- Double-parking on narrow streets with spots available.
- Slowing to a crawl around corners or curves.
Five New Yorker articles I never thought I’d care about, much less read all of
- “Wilder Women: The mother and daughter behind the Little House stories.”
- “Rich Bitch: The legal battle over trust funds for pets.”
- “All He Surveyed: How Palladian was Palladio?“
- “Itsy-Bitsy Teeny Weeny” (abstract only)
- “The Olympian: How China’s greatest musician will win the Beijing Games.”
Five nervous habits/tics I have
- Cracking my knuckles
- Cracking my back
- Bouncing my legs up and down, often at different speeds
- Fiddling with my chain-bracelet
- Picking at my cuticles
