99% of TV (I do watch XFactor, but only bc it's my bonding night with my mom and she chose it)
Tweeting/Tumblr/Google + (I am addicted to FB)
Anything on popular radio (I listen to folk, bluegrass and classical)
Video Games
Designer clothing and accessories
Cars
Movies
Any electronic toys for kids. My kid is deprived and has very little
Chick Lit

Oh, and I'm 27. I get left out of a LOT of conversations!


PP, please don't get me wrong, but how exactly does your 'bonding night' work? Do you guys have a schedule for.. um.. bonding?

1) Until 72 days ago I was clueless about all things Kardashian

Almost 100 percent of the tv shows and movies that are out now.

Clueless about almost all celebrities. Oddly enough I know more than I care to about the Kardashians even though I have never watched their show. I am just slammed by news of them every time I open my comp.

Here's the 411:

Wine comes in "white" and "red" and "pink." Avoid the pink.

You can buy it in bottles OR boxes.

If you're drinking it before noon, use a coffee cup.


I LOVE YOU!

I'm making up for that now on the Style channel! I LOVE it!


Correction - it's Sex AND the City, not Sex IN the City. Supposedly, NYC is as much a part of show as sex is.

Football and baseball.

On the other hand, I'm somewhat familiar with hockey.

Same here. I haven't read a single book and I haven't seen a single movie.

Manicures/pedicures. I am the only woman I know who doesn't spend time and $ on these activities. LAST thing I would think to do with a spare half hour.

All of the TV shows named by PPs.

"Blowouts" of your hair. The super straight newscaster look makes even women in their 20s look like they are 40-year-old suburban moms. Don't get it at all!

Twitter (anything beyond Facebook really)
Harry Potter
Vampire stuff
Any TV shows beyond HGTV and Cooking
Angry Birds
Any celebrities younger than 40-ish?
This last one became very clear to me a few months ago when, on a rare night with a sitter, I went to see a movie. I chose it solely on the start time, and the fact that it had Julianne Moore in it, and I knew who she was. It was a comedy with a hot young guy in it. I knew immediately he was the draw for the rest of the audience, all under 30, but I had no clue who he was. None. Made me realize how out of touch (ok, old) I am. The sitter was astonished I didn't know who he was (can't recall his name). Like I didn't know man had been to the moon.
