When creativity and ideas for a daily blog entry run dry, there’s always the Random Word Generator.

Your Random Word Is: Pulp

1) I do not like pulp in orange juice. Not even light pulp. That’s probably the reason I never drank much of it as a kid. I kept wondering what it was and why there had to be these icky-feeling flakes in my juice that would get stuck on my tongue and teeth. Although these days I can order orange juice at a restaurant for breakfast and not be put out by it too much. But at home I always drink apple juice.

2) I do like the British band Pulp, especially the albums His ‘N’ Hers and Different Class. This Is Hardcore is okay too, from what I can remember. William Shatner and Ben Folds did a killer cover of “Common People” from Different Class. Pulp hasn’t come out with a new album in a long time, but lead singer Jarvis Cocker just put out a solo album. It looks like eMusic is going to carry it, so I can download it instead of buying the CD. (BTW, according to this article, eMusic is the #2 digital download store after iTunes. I had no idea.)

3) Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favorite movies, maybe even #1.

4) Modern superhero comic books could be considered descendants of the old “hero pulp” magazines/novels. (It’s true - Wikipedia says so.) And you know how I loves me my comics.

5) I’ve never beaten anyone to a pulp, or to mush, or to mulch. Well, I’ve never beaten anyone period. I intend to keep it that way. I have soft, delicate hands that must be protected.

Latre.
