If there's one thing us bloggers seem to love, it's polls. I think the reason for this is because they make us feel loved; even if someone just accidentally stumbles across our blog on their way to pornography, the levels of effort required to participate in a poll are so minuscule that odds are they'll click on one of the options anyway. Thus we can convince ourselves that more people read our sites than is actually the case.
For example, in a poll about two weeks ago, I asked you what movie I should watch after finishing my exams; the results where as follows
So it looks like The Coen Brother's come out on top with A Serious Man. Unfortunately, this poll was predicated on the idea that I was a diligent student and would be able to hold off on going to the movies for over two weeks. However this is not the case, and I ended up going to see a total of three movies over my exam period: The Box, The Brothers Bloom as well as An Education. I really enjoyed all three, but this could have been coloured somewhat by the fact that anything beats studying for chemistry.
Anyway, thanks for the advice everyone one, even though I basically ignored it. I should say that while the initial purpose of the poll was lost, I still fully plan on seeing A Serious Man (as well as probably all the other films listed as options) once I do in fact finish my exams (in 24 hours and 12 minutes).
And as I said, all bloggers love polls. So even though the previous one turned out to be pretty much a total waste of time, I'm gonna try another one. While my movie viewing has been pretty healthy during my exams, my television habit has suffered severely. I'm a big TV on DVD person, but I currently have over half a dozen box sets sitting on my shelf that I am yet to touch.
So, once again, I've decided to let you decide which one I crack into first once my exams and an extensive period of celebration (read: drinking) have passed. And this time, I promise to actually follow your advice.
Here are your options:
