Magazines, Insomnia and My Acute ADD
Written by Michael on September 25th, 2006
It’s that time of the year again, the KJH (Kirkland Jr. High) magazine fundraising drive. Amy’s school does this the first month of every year to raise money for… well, something. It says it’s for the kids so it must be good. I always load up on these because I love the kids. Ok, well, I love magazines. They really are perfect for me since I have the attention span of a Brazilian Tapir…
Wait, what was I writing about? …
Oh, yeah, my attention span isn’t that great and the normal magazine article is about all I can handle. If my insomnia should strike (pretty rare, maybe 364 days per year), I can flick the light on, read a good article and hopefully think about something that will bore my brain enough to shut itself off.
Here’s what I ordered:
1) Backpacker
2) Fast Company
3) Forbes
4) Fortune
5) Mac Addict
6) Maximum PC
7) National Geogrpahic Adventure
8) Smithsonian
9) Wired
10) Teen People
Ok, just kidding about #10, they were sold out :(
Most if not all are renewals but off the list this year is Discover. Though I’m a science fiend, that magazine just bores the hell outta me for some reason.
