7 Quick Takes

I decided to jump on the bandwagon over at Conversion Diary and try my hand at quick takes Friday.

1. As I was sitting in Barnes and Noble, I heard the 50-something year old gentleman next to me turn to the group of college kids next to him and say "I heard you guys talking about zombies earlier. There's a great book about them on that table over there that I think you'd really like." Halloween really is around the corner...

2. I love music (and really generic statements). This one and this one have been on repeat a lot lately. And now that I've realized all my current music is on the sad side, I've made a resolution to find a happy song for next week!

3. I don't like shows with laugh tracks. Except for Friends (and sometimes How I Met Your Mother). I feel like they're questioning my intelligence by telling me when I should laugh, and my intelligence is questioned enough during my two hour a week stint with first graders.

4. I wish Glee would stop being inappropriate so that I could watch it...They've got some new cast members with a lot of talent, but I guess I'll just have to stick with listening to the tunes after the show.

5. My younger sister got her first big girl job today! Hooray for her!

6. Unlike some companies that tell you how much you did save on your receipt, Starbucks tells you how much you would have saved if you were a member. For me, it was a whole 32 cents. I may need to look into this membership thing.

7. I've lived in the same town for 17 years (minus the 5 years I spent in college) and never knew it was a dry town until today. Guess it shouldn't be surprising since it's also a gas-free, grocery-free, anything-you-could-possibly-need-free town. Somehow they found room for three Episcopalian churches in a two block radius though. How curious.
