Soooo ... I fell a little short of completing the 100+ Reading Challenge for 2011. I read 76 books - a record for me. Two gold stars! My Overstuffed Bookshelf has upped the anty another 50 books this year. Whew! I am starting two months late, but I am in it to win it.
I want to read at least one book from each genre on Goodreads. My evil Goodreads reading challenge widget says that I way behind (at lower right banner side of blog). Better get crackin'. Join me! Click the banner for more details.

How do I know that I'm still into Star Wars? [Except for those Ewoks. They're just creepy now.] I got super excited after clicking Koka Sexton's (@kokasexton) tweet:
Stacey Woodward's star wars dorkdom board on Pinterest is very cool. By far, my favorite pin is the image below. Words to live by ...
When I checked the trending topics this morning, I saw something about film titles. Yah! I went to get a cup of tea. When I returned to my computer - ready to tweet in, I realized that I missed the key word, vagina. #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina. I thought, "Eeeeww. That's tacky, childish, and disgusting (#thisneedstostop)."
I drew a blank. What could people be coming up with to make that trend. SMH - I decided to take a peak. The only thing I could come up with was The Vagina Monologues which was not a replacement. Then, I looked over at my DVD rental pile and said, "Let me see what I can come up with here (#mature)."
Although the first one is kinda funny (#dontjudgeme), I didn't want to put it out there. It was fitting that #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina was trending with #stupidthingspeopledo. On the other hand, complaining using the hashtag in a tweet only adds to the trend.
So today I am part of the problem, not the solution. Forgive me.
I am going to add to the problem and ask: What do you say about the #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina trending topic? Do you share any of my thoughts? Please vote above.
Update:
I am really surprised that #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina has continued to trend for the rest of the day - both in the United States and worldwide. Seriously?!?
I am moving on ... telling myself, "Don't be so up tight. Twitter is not known for #keepitclassy. Tomorrow you will go back to ignoring the crazy and #BeABetterMan."
