Saturday 9

Saturday 9: Don't You Care?

1) What's something that seems to fascinate everyone else, but you just don't care about? Making a Murderer. I don't have Netflix, haven't seen the series, and admit I'm not filled with longing, either. Though if my Facebook feed is any indication, I'm the only woman in North America who doesn't care.

2) The lyrics refer to "the times we cried and laughed." Which did you do more recently, cry or laugh? Laugh. Specifically I laughed at "I'm Dead. Now What?" I realize this journal is useful, but I cannot believe that's what they named it, or that they got Potsie as their spokesman. Stay classy, folks.




3) In the song, our hero seems surprised that his girlfriend doesn't believe him. Are you more believing and trusting, or suspicious and skeptical? I suppose I'm more believing and trusting.

4) This song is just over two minutes long, which seems short for a song but awful long when Sam is waiting for her chicken soup to heat in the microwave. What's the last thing you heated in a microwave? Tea. 

5) This week's band, The Buckinghams, was one of the first acts to perform at Chicago's premiere summer festival, The Taste of Chicago.* Let's think ahead: Have you made any plans for Summer 2016? I'm taking my friend John to Springfield to check out the Lincoln sites. It's shocking to me that someone could live in the Midwest all his life and never make it down there, not even on a class trip. So come June, we're rectifying that.


6) In 1967, when this song was popular, Rolling Stone magazine published its first issue. What magazines do you subscribe to? Do they arrive in the mail, or do you read them online? People, US, O, Allure and More. I'm very behind in my magazine reading. All those holiday entertaining issues are still staring at me!

7) Country star/American Idol judge Keith Urban was born in 1967. Are you watching the final season of American Idol? I've caught a couple episodes, but I'm more interested in Harry Connick than I am the contestants.


8) In 1967, the average cost of a movie ticket was $1.25. By 2015, it had risen $8.60. What's the last movie you saw in a theater? Carol. Alas, I didn't like it very much.

9) Random question: Sam's taking everyone out to dinner and she's buying. Would you prefer the steak or the lobster? I'll split the difference and have surf and turf.



*Though back in 1970, it was called ChicagoFest.

  1. It looks like we are both tea drinkers and zap it in the microwave.

  2. I miss my weekly People magazines. But I was looking for places to trim my budget.

  3. I know too many people in the area to even consider watching Making a Murderer.

    Tea sounds good right now, or just hot water. I'm so cold....

  4. I'm surprised you're not into MaM. It seems like something that might interest you. But, to each his/her own. :) You know where I am on this issue. (As an aside, no one on my feed (well, 3 people maybe) is into it. Let's trade for a bit, shall we?)

  5. I'm with ya on HC Jr.. ;)
    And making of a murderer has been all over here too. I'd like to see it, but binge watching is not something I can do. I'm still trying to catch up on tv shows I've recorded from November!

  6. I've been to those Lincoln sites on field trips with my kids. They are pretty cool to visit.

  7. I've never even heard of Watching a Murderer, or whatever it is. I am really off the charts, I guess.

  8. I don't know why but Harry is a little annoying to me. And I don't like the combination or chemistry of the judges. Give me the virgin days of American Idol when it wasn't so predictable.

    Sounds like a wonderful trip you've planned!
