Yesterday, I spent a delightful morning with Em and Bron. We ate brunch at Joey's on Santa Monica, went hiking up to Sunset Boulevard, browsed BookSoup, and in between discussions of comics and Comic-Con the subject of Things I'm Done With came up.
These aren't things I necessarily hate -- these are just things I'm kinda tired of, see all the time, and would enjoy not seeing anymore. They include:
Yellow squash
Subquality romantic comedies
Bad web design
Reinforcement of gender stereotypes in any media
Ben Stiller
That milkshake song.
Cigarette smoke.
I would like to replace these things with:
Fresh green beans
Dead Again, which I finally saw this weekend and really enjoyed (Mom, you would love it)
Five uninterrupted hours during which I can design a website for Nicky and Bryan
