Fans of The New York Times will get the reference, but for those of you unacquainted with this now-defunct gem of their ‘one-page magazine’ (within the actual NY Times magazine that comes out every Sunday), let me introduce you. In their own words, it was a list of things that are “not hot, not not, just meh.” Past examples included: the Maroon 5 guy, Grammy nominations, and pumpkin ale. For the simple fact of my own enjoyment, I thought I’d start crafting my own once a week, in a similar spirit as Dear Diary. So without further ado, which is in itself a “meh” statement…
1. Celebrating your half-birthday
2. Overusing the word “slew”
3. Marie Kondo
4. “Thought leader”
5. Having your nails painted 24/7
7. Pleather
8. Drinking bone broth
9. Tyga
10. The name of your first Xanga or LiveJournal
11. “Winning at life”
12. Versace
