The sad thing is I found the list far more interesting than the article. Hint: If your going to rant about something as a waste of time don't let it upstage you're job.

Capote. Sedaris. Darling. Sweetie. Patsy, darling.

My 25 things post on my blog has ended up #2 in Google for "25 things about me" and I am getting 200 or so visits a day to that post.

Now, I am not monetizing my blog and don't gain anything from the traffic, but it is interesting to see how much attention this meme is getting all of the sudden. Especially since it is nothing new.
