I've been to MN and back. Now I just want to veg. Doing the LJ catch-up. I still need to work to get to 12/5 on a chunk of y'alls journals. Instead I'm working to the current day on a few people's posts 'cause I know most of the posts will be news they cared about. Trying to have a clue about the world.
So. . .whether it's the news or general pop culture, is there anything you do to get a general idea about what the masses have been paying attention to? With music, I've played the YouTube trending video list and with news I do Bing trending searches (at least until I've earned the maximum number of Bing points for the day.)
Not always having a clue produces situations like, I say I haven't seen or heard of movie x over so many movies that my current college room mate exclaimed, "OMG <<offline name redacted>>! Accept the social contract and see some of these movies." Or a few people asking me, "How have you not seen The Hunger Games?"
