on my radar
Several months ago I began receiving Radar magazine for no reason at all. I didn’t subscribe, and I’d barely heard of it. However, being a magazine junkie who regularly shuffles unread issues of Martha Stewart Living, Entertainment Weekly, and, yes, Christian Standard from room to room, I was delighted to receive yet another fun periodical in the mail. Apparently I am subscribed until June 2008.
And that’s okay because—although it isn’t my favorite magazine—I really like the “Radar 100,” a list that appears on the last page of each issue. Here are some favorites from the most recent one:
Self-help books you can do without
–He’s Just Not That Into You: He’s Into Your Hotter, Less Whiny Friend –Conflict Resolution, the Pol Pot Way
–101 Half-Truths to Tell Your Mother About the Nursing Home
–Six Weeks and $80,000 in Elective Surgery to a Better You
–The All Food Court Diet
–Complaining Your Way Into His Heart
–Tuesdays with Maury Povich
