Friday’s Feast #125

Appe­tizer

Which celebrity (or celebri­ties) do you think will make head­lines this year?

Lind­say, Brit­ney, Nicole, Paris … blah, blah, blah. It will be more dis­cus­sion of the Dimwit Squadron. I don’t care about the per­sonal lives of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or any of the rest of them. Tell me whether their work is any good, but spare me the details about who they are dat­ing or where they are par­ty­ing! I am seri­ously repulsed by the media’s fas­ci­na­tion with those peo­ple and the way that we, as Amer­i­cans, encour­age the media by gob­bling up every word and image pub­lished about them. Have you ever noticed how those kinds of head­lines assault you every time you turn on your tele­vi­sion set, visit many web­sites (even those devoted to legit­i­mate news include that kind of non­sense), or just try to shop for sim­ple neces­si­ties like food?

Do you ever watch “Jay­walk­ing” on “The Tonight Show”? I do and even though I find myself laugh­ing hys­ter­i­cally, it really isn’t funny when a woman is on national tele­vi­sion brag­ging that she just grad­u­ated from col­lege with a major in his­tory, but can’t name the cur­rent Vice Pres­i­dent of the United States! (Actual exam­ple.) If peo­ple were less con­cerned with what a bunch of marginally-talented celebri­ties are doing with their lives and focused more on their own self-improvement and intel­lec­tual devel­op­ment, they might really accom­plish something!

Ok, I will now step down from my soap box!

Soup

They say that good things come in small pack­ages? What is some­thing lit­tle that you think is great?

Dia­monds work for me.

Salad

Name a song that makes you want to dance.

Just one? Oh, my … that’s really hard. The last CD I bought was KT Tunstall’s album, Eye to the Tele­scope, so one song that imme­di­ately comes to mind is:



Sud­denly I See

Main Course

What is your favorite font?

Dessert

If you were to write a do-it-yourself arti­cle, what would it be about?
