Serial Filler

    Earlier this year, I wrote a series of posts about every single place where I bought/could have bought comic books.  I followed that up with a much shorter series about every single place where I bought my World of Darkness RPGs, as well as places where I almost/could've bought them.  I also had a few posts listing some of my favorite things.  Well, I've been thinking about doing another such series.  On one hand, it gives me content that can last for weeks, if not months.  This makes it very easy to plan my blogcast.  On the other hand, I sometimes forget some of the details after planning so far in advance.  I also have to delay some more topical posts rather than interrupting an ongoing series. My recent RPG series delayed the past six weeks of posts, making some of them slightly later than they should have been. Still, the ease of creating such series makes them very desirable.  So, what should I write about next? Books would have been a great choice, but I pretty much already mentioned practically all of them in my comic book series. [I have visited one new book store, the Barnes and Noble at the Fayette Mall in Lexington, since that series.  I didn't buy anything.  No magazines, but some graphic novels and manga. It really had a great atmosphere.] I don't really want to rehash mostly the same material so soon.  Magazines might be a little better, as a few places that I hadn't mentioned in my comic book series would be included, but maybe not enough to warrant going over them again.  Toys were a possible choice, but many of the same places would be brought up again.  Furthermore, I really haven't bought any toys since the early 90s. (Yes, that would place me in my early 20s. Don't judge.) I also have no idea where some of the toys I got as gifts came from.  Now, music might be a good bet.  I used to buy all sort of singles and albums back in the day.  I still buy CDs.  I bought three in the past two years.  Unfortunately, most of these places have gone out of business. I've even forgotten many of their names. The few places that remain have seriously cut back on product, mainly relying on vinyl, a format I can no longer play. I also don't have any digital recordings.  I'm just not into that format yet.  Video games were another possibility. The only problem is that I haven't bought a new console game in twenty years.  Haven't even played one in almost that long too. Mostly, it is just mobile apps on my MacBook and iPhone. Clothing was a strong choice, one that I've mentioned a few times.  Remembering which places I actually bought stuff from, as opposed to just browsing, might get difficult.  Also, I've pretty much just bought clothes from just three stores over the last decade or so.  Maybe four or five if I add shoes and mail-order. I thought about doing supermarkets/grocery stores as a unique take.  Sure, I've already covered many of them, but there might just be enough that haven't made the list yet to warrant doing a series on them.  It just feels a tad boring and dull. [As an aside, in planning for a possible series, I thought that most stores had a counterclockwise flow from entrance to check-out.  Turns out, while the majority do, many stores have a clockwise flow.  Many more than I originally thought.] The leading contender for my next series, though, will be restaurants and other food service places.  Dine in, takeaway, and even some delivery.  Just going over the Pikeville/Coal Run area will take three weeks.  Probably more.  There would be many repeats, with up to eight or nine locations of certain ones.  Sometimes with two for the same locale.  Still, this is the one I'm leaning towards.  Of course, I could take this into a different direction entirely.  I could go with car dealerships or libraries (three to at least eight, with maybe two or three more to the former if I include those my mom dragged me to).  I could go with favorite magazine runs and subscriptions. Toy lines. Television viewing habits.  Meal plans.  Exercises and routines. (I'm currently up to 115 abdominal crunches in a row.) The list literally goes on and on. So, what will be my next victim, topic?
