My personality-as told by Amazon.com

This concerns me. I had to get it together once and for all, so I got on the ol trusty puter and ordered up a book for Rita for Xmas. And since the outgoing boss gave me a gift card for Amazon.com, it was only reasonable that I order something for myself. And yes, I got carried away but that is not the point of the story.

Amazon.com makes recommendations for books to buy based on what you have bought in the past. I had previously searched for this book for her, so several came up on that topic. Ignore that.

The recommendations are pretty dead on considering they are based on so little- I have ordered books on that recommended list before and always liked them. Today's list concerns me a bit.

First, there were the funny things--like the new Jen Lancaster coming out in 09, and some like that. Ok, I can handle that, I have been buying some of those, and they are awesome. It is like we are in the same head, except she is a republican.

The next kajillion option, with the exception of something about an elephant or photography, were all about killers and dead people.

What does that say about me? I like killing and dead people, and smart asses and I might want to take a picture of it.

The thing that concerns me most is that I think that is pretty accurate. I wonder what those amazon.com people think of me?

HEE HEE HEE! That cracks me up - Amazon comes up with weird recommendations for me too, because I go on there all the time to search for the most random things, and of course it remembers EVERYTHING. Hee!

Happy weekend - hope you're not snowed in like we are!

Well, if there is a murder or missing dead person you know whose door they'll come a knockin on.
