Memeness!
Gacked from likeadeuce:
Comment to this post and I will pick five things I would like you to talk about. They might make sense or be totally random.
Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself, hopefully for the rest of eternity!

IF THIS BE MY COMICS SHOP
Been a while, but today (HOT!) we finally got up and (HOT!) about early enough to (HOT!) hit the local (HOT!) farmer's (HOT!) market before (HOT HOT HOT!) retiring to the rather more clement confines of the local coffee shop.

TUNEAGE!
I am a longtime frequenter of used record stores. When my collection was vinyl, I used such stores as a place to fill the gaps in my knowledge of music (and score the occasional cool bit of album cover art), but by the time I hit grad school, I had shifted gears a bit.
