Is there such a thing as TOO much light reading? You see, I think I’ve become a magazine addict. I’ve blogged about this before, I believe, but the problem seems to be getting worse. Off the top of my head I can’t tell you to how many magazines I subscribe (or pick up when I’m out and about), but the stack of magazines next to my sofa just continues to grow.<\/p>\n
I’d cleaned it up a bit before Mark’s arrival from Paris, but within the past 4 days it’s already back to chaos again. The scariest thing is that as of earlier this week, I had three unread issues of Out magazine, two unread issues of Instict magazine and two unread issues of the Improper Bostonian (among others).<\/p>\n
I’ve tackled one Out and one Improper…but that still leaves me with multiple issues of Instinct, plus issues of Passport, Advocate, Blender, Out Traveler, Budget Travel, Conde Nast, Harvard, and\u00a0Harvard Law Record, and Entertainment Weekly\u00a0to go through. Things all started going down hill a few months ago when Randy had some United Airlines frequent flyer miles that were about to expire. So, he ordered a bunch of magazines for himself with the points…and offered me some points, too. I’ve not even begun to receive some of them yet, either.<\/p>\n
At this rate, I’ll never tackle any of the books I’ve bought in the past 6 months. And there is just not enough toilet time in the world to read all of these magazines before the next issues come out. It doesn’t help that I read the Metro newspaper on the way to work (instead of reading items my magazine mountain). It also doesn’t help that I stay at Randy’s place half the time and get pre-occupied with the magazines that he subscribes to.<\/p>\n
Collectively, we give all of our finished magazines to his ex…and that stack is currently quite large. But at least that removes the burden from us and transfers it to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
