Continuing examination of the Stuff White People Like blog vis a vis me. Scoring remains the same (0, .33, .66, 1 with 0 being not at all and 1 being a direct hit).
Score coming into Round Three (of four): 11.67 of 38 (30.7%)
- Netflix (0). I have never subscribed. Never have considered subscribing. I don't watch enough movies and I have a feeling the one movie I was sent a month would collect dust for... oh, about a month.
- Apple Products (0). I really am not a fan of Apple computers, iPods, and whatever other tupperware-looking pieces of technology Jobs and company put out.
- Indie Music (.66). I recently had a conversation with a friend about what "Indie Music" is... Morpheus had downloaded a package of Indie and it was, well, too indie for him. Or too Indie. I'm screwing up the capitalization. I don't claim to be an expert on music by any means, but if we substitute "non-mainstream" for "Indie" I suppose this mainly applies to me.
- Sushi (.66). The number of things that are part of my conversations on a regular basis is kind of scary, but (again) I had a recent convo with someone about sushi... she is half-Japanese but doesn't like sushi. I started into my standard "I'm like a sushi camel" routine, but then it occurred to me that Travel Mate 2000 and Morpheus drag me to sushi almost every Saturday.
- Plays (.33). I was in plays growing up. I occasionally attend them. Partial credit.
- Public Radio (0). Ugh. I'm sure it's got lots of good info, but I can't take it.
- Asian Fusion Food (.33). I try to kick it old school in the ID or go to a more legit Thai place, rather than go to Wild Ginger, every time I want to eat some asian food. Of course, I do eat at a place next door that claims to be the best teriyaki and chinese food in town... and it's run by Koreans. Does that count as asian fusion?
- The Sunday New York Times (0). Never read it. Not a fan.
- Arts Degrees (1). I have a BA or two, I think... in economics and political science. Actually, I'd prefer to think that they are BS degrees, but I'm just not sure... need to bust out the ol' diploma and get to the bottom of this... or I can just shrug and not worry about it. Hmm. Yeah. *shrug*
- Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops (0). I've been to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's occasionally, but they could all dry up and blow away and I wouldn't miss them one bit.
- Vintage (.33). A little bit. I don't go shopping for actual vintage stuff (see 50) but when I renovated my house (see 37) we did it in the original 1910 style (see 49).
- Irony (1). I know that "irony" can be a mere redefinition of hypocrisy. I don't like hypocrisy, but I like irony. Weird, huh?
- Living by the water (.33). It's not a life goal of mine, but I enjoy reading by a body of water... especially if I don't have to go outside (the sun makes me squint and might spoil my pasty skin).
- Sarah Silverman (1). Not gonna see her in concert. Haven't seen all of her shows or whatever. But she's funny and cute and racist. Perfect combo...
- Dogs (1). I am not currently in possession of one. But I've loved a few dogs in my time (insert Borat jokes here) and I anticipate someday having one and repeatedly cursing at him every night, hoping to encourage him to poop more quickly.
- Kitchen Gadgets (1). I have about 20 square feet of kitchen space. I have about 20 kitchen gadgets, from a milkshake maker to a combo sandwich/pancake griller to something I call a "sink". I'm a madman.
- Apologies (1). I love apologizing for apologizing too much. It's kinda pathetic, and whenever I put up an "I'm not going to apologize" front it gets me all out of sorts.
- Lawyers (1). Wow. I'm on a roll with the whiteness. I am not close to many attorneys, but I am one and I know lots of them and I recognize their value. That's a "one" in my book. And this is my book. Except the lack of actual pages or whatever.
- Juno (1). Not quite as funny as I'd hoped... it had a heart, though. In spite of the presence of a heart in a movie often making me gag, I was somehow able to look past it and enjoy this movie. A lot.
Total points this round (of 19): 10.66 (56%).
Total points so far (of 57): 23.33 (40.9%).
