listless

September 13, 2007 · 8 Comments

Here it is Thursday, and that means I’m due for a list of Themed Things. But the thing is, I’m tired. It’s been a long week, with a couple more busy days ahead, and well, my brain is fried. So I suppose I could come up with a list of fried things. But I have to say that is not a theme I can envision myself making a list about. So instead, I’ll make a list of things I can’t envision myself making lists about.

  • bricks
  • doorknobs
  • mold
  • tissues
  • ethernet cables
  • plungers
  • eyebrows
  • curtains
  • gall bladders
  • pocket lint

If you have any suggestions for other lists I shouldn’t write, please let me know.

    gingivitis…because nobody wants to hear about that.

    buckles.
    spray paint.
    clivia.

    i think pocket lint has list potential…

    pocket lint…or belly lint.

    I hope you get some much-needed rest.

    maja-
    You are so right. I definitely will not do a gingivitis list.

    magpie-
    Good ones. (Or bad ones?) Though I don’t even know what clivia is…

    Shelly-
    Yes, that’s the tricky bit. I write down something as not listworthy, and then I think, “well, maybe…”

    Sage-
    I suppose, then, that navel lint is right out. (And amazingly, I have gotten some sleep!)

    On “belly-lint”, a friend of mine in high school used to call it “fluff from your T-shirt”. Except he didn’t merely say this, he sang it, in a very high, operatic voice, to the tune of… I think it was Cape Fear or something. It went something like:

    FLUFF! from your TEE-Shirt!

    He often did this right in the middle of classes, out in the street, wherever and whenever he found such fluff.

    a friend of mine in college made a “man”/doll out of dryer lint.

    Jangari-
    Wow, that sounds like a colorful character.

    Ericalee-
    Huh. A lint doll. It looks like we’re getting a lint list together.
