In conjunction with, or in opposition to…List.
The latest paper from District Weekly was about the year in List, aka Ranking and filing the years events. It occurred to me while reading the thousand and one some semi-lame for your-entertainment pleasure, that List seem to be the new popular trend. I see it all over the web, and blogs. Why would it be a trend? Do we need a list to organize our thoughts and mind? I suppose there are list about everything from Yoga’s Eight Limbs on how to live and how not to. List about things you want to do, or just did the past year. There’s list about your “ideal” life, partner, job, accessories, schools you want to attend etc… could be on anything. And then there’s comparison’s for/against, what’s in/what’s not. I have run into several list these past few weeks for our List-mania indulgence. enjoi.
