Smugglin' Plums and Other Chestnuts

So I'm sitting here trying to think of things to blog about, and there's just nothing coming to mind. Its not like these posts are normally deep or profound or intellectually stimulating in any way, but for right now the well is absolutely dry. However, I try to crank out one of these a week for the loyal person or two who actually reads this mess. I do have some ideas floating around, I just don't think they're blogworthy. What follows is a short list of topics that I considered blogging about but for whatever reason were not substantial enough to warrant a full post:

1. The meaning of my new favorite term "Smuggling plums", or in the southern vernacular: "Smugglin' plums". This is probably not a good topic, since I don't see how I could write about it without being really explicit or gross. I could say that a guy (and its always a guy, girls just don't have any plums), is smuggling plums when he wears a certain piece of clothing, cut too short, that is far far far too revealing. And he's sitting. That's enough on that subject but it does segue nicely into number two...
2. The fact that I get to see more full frontal nudity in my line of work than most people do. Daily full frontal nudity. Accountants probably can't make the same claim. Unfortunately its not tantalizing movie-star nudity. I would say a good 95% of said nudity is profoundly disturbing. Some of it causes temporary blindness and nightsweats.
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about my favorite movie of the summer. Johnny Depp's Wonka is so off-the-wall and a bit dangerous. Just watch some of his reaction shots. He seems a bit disappointed when the kids aren't harmed, which I love. The film captures the darkness of Roald Dahl's novel better than the Gene Wilder movie (which I also loved).
4. Closing day is tomorrow. I've already discussed that in an earlier post so writing about it would be redundant. But I'm still excited to finally be a homeowner. A place to call my own. A clean, well lighted place. I think that was the title of a book or a song or a poem or something but I can't remember exactly what.
5. At the urging of friends I'm making my way belatedly through the Harry Potter series. I've just finished book two. So far its not mind-blowing literature, but it is very good. Far better than the movies. She (J.K. Rowling) has a way with descriptive prose. If its true that the books get better (and darker) as they go along then I'm looking forward to the rest of them.
6. Cocoa Pebbles is the best cold cereal ever. If you say differently then you better check your pants because I bet they'll be ablaze. Nothing but crunchy chocolaty goodness.
