nickelodeon list
Shows I miss watching on Nickelodeon:
1. Doug -
Disney bastardized this show when they bought it out. Bastards.
2. Rugrats -
I know this is still on, too, but they just can't grow up, that's weird.
3. Hey Dude! -
How did they come up with this? "Hey guys, I've got this great concept for a show..."
4. You Can't Do That on Television -
Most people don't even remember this one. Can someone tell me what it was you couldn't say? I can't remember.
5. Nick in the Afternoon -
Not technically a tv show but a tv spot, I'm mostly including it so I can reference Stick Stickley and sing the song to annoy all of you... "Write to me, Stick Stickley, PO Box 963..."
6. Tiny Toons/Loony Toons -
That's all folks.
7. Legends of the Hidden Temple or GUTS -
It's a tie. I seriously cannot decide which was more of a thrill. And still is.
8. Hey Arnold! -
Apparently they do really well with exclamatory titles.
9. Muppet Babies -
I seriously loved this show. I must have a thing for little people in animated form.
10. Clarissa Explains It All -
Who wouldn't want their best friend to enter their room via ladder?
11. Are You Afraid of the Dark? -
Yes.

driving list
My favorite things to do while driving:
1. Sing to myself, sans radio. Mostly opera. And the national anthem.
2. Go through the carwash!
3. Put on my ipod, both ears, since I like to live dangerously, and jam out to bad pop songs.
4. Collect things to talk about and to make me sound smart from NPR news.
5. Try to find a street in Lawrence I've never seen before.
6. This sounds really creepy, I realize, but go through residential neighborhoods at night and peek in the windows at the colors of their walls.
7. Along the same lines, drive through residential neighborhoods during the day and look at their front porches and sidewalks.
8. Head into the country and take a dirt road for as far as I dare, then turn right or left and take another dirt road for as far as I dare. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Then try to find my way home.
9. Take pictures of the cars next to me with my cell phone camera.
10. Smoke a cigarette, but only in November at night with the windows rolled down. (Go ahead and roll your eyes, I know, I know...)
11. Drive too fast through deep puddles and splash everything everywhere.
