1. If you could add an 8th deadly sin what would it be? I think I choose obliviousness. It needs to be punishable by death.
2. How cool is my new computer at work? (I'll give you a hint: SUPER COOL!)
3. If someone has ever asked to marry you what was your answer and why? (Show your work.)
4. What is your favorite holiday meal item? Though I wouldn't point to it as my fave I did make sure I had enough ingredients to make another green bean casserole after the party because I knew I would want more.
5. If I told you I was eating cranberries and turning into Magenta Beauregard would you get the joke?
6. Have you already finished your holiday shopping?
7. What book(s) are you reading? I'm in the middle of the 2nd Game of Thrones but I also just got the heads up from the library to come pick up David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day.
8. Do kids these days still play that "You must pay the rent!" "I can't pay the rent" game?
9. What's one thing you wish for Christmakwanzafestikah this year? (It doesn't pay to be sappy here.)
10. Do you have any questions?

1. Bad spelling.
ReplyDelete2. Pretty cool. But I thought it was a home computer, which would have been much cooler.
3. The answer was "How about next week?" This was because eloping was quickly nixed as an option but a large wedding was right out. Close family members were going to be in the near vicinity so a certain amount of haste was in order.
4. Stuffing.
5. You're turning magenta, Magenta!
6. Yes. For 2010.
7. Just finishing "Moneyball". Not sure where I'm heading next. Probably some more Shakespeare while I figure it out.
8. I haven't seen any.
9. Maple syrup. (DAMN! Sorry.)
10. Yes.
1. Tee hee
ReplyDelete2. Word.
3. I didn't realize they were already coming into town.
4. Next year you should bring stuffing to the open house 'cause I had a bad experience with stuffing as a child and will never make it.
5. Yay!
6. Ah, just in time!
7. Which Shakespeare?
8. We might need to revive this.
9. Wow. Just...really? Wow.
10. Good.
11. Happy Birthday!
1. CS said "I thought you'd put 'people misusing "literally"'." I was actually really close to doing exactly that.
ReplyDelete7. I'm on Play 29 of 37, "Richard III". "Titus Andronicus" is up next.
1. willful ignorance, i.e. head-in-the-sand syndrome.
ReplyDelete2. i'm going to say it's pretty dang neat. :P

8. i have no idea what game this might be...unless this is a Cosby Show reference.
9. a new rice cooker. mine is tiny, and i'd like something larger.
10. how much wood would a woodchuck chuck...
1. Willful ignorance. It's a deadly sin, right? So the logical consequence is immediate removal from the gene pool
ReplyDelete2. I'm in love with my work computer, too - it's the unreliable network I can't stand.
3. Someone DID ask me, and I said yes. I'd have been a fool not to; I have the best life ever.
4. I'm having a hard time choosing a favorite meal item, but I'm very fond of my onion dish and plain old, out of the can cranberry sauce.
5. I totally get the joke.
6. I've barely started.
7. I'm re-reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the lull between school novels (I just finished To Kill a Mockingbird, My Name is Asher Lev, and The Help with my students).
8. I don't know if "kids" in general do, but ours did because their dad did (and still does; he's a dork. Did I mention best life ever?)
9. I'm asking for iTunes gift cards (for more ebooks) and circle scarves. I'm also hoping for a new car radio that can talk to my iPhone, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
10. I really want to know: is Herman Cain for real or is he, as Rachel Maddow has hypothesized, really just an elaborate art project?
1. If you could add an 8th deadly sin what would it be? I think I choose obliviousness. I'm sticking with your answer :-)
ReplyDelete2. How cool is my new computer at work? Someone must've gotten a mac!
3. If someone has ever asked to marry you what was your answer and why? 3 someones...I said yes to the first 2 and let's wait a bit to the 3rd
#1 - I said yes because I didn't want to be an old maid (I was 24)
#2 - I said yes because, altho I didn't love him, I thought he'd make a good companion since I (mistakenly) thought I'd already have my one true love (not #1, btw)
#3 - we hadn't been together long enough
4. What is your favorite holiday meal item? Chestnut stuffing, a family favorite :-)
5. If I told you I was eating cranberries and turning into Magenta Beauregard would you get the joke? nope! Unless you mean the woman in Rocky Horror...
6. Have you already finished your holiday shopping? *snort* no
7. What book(s) are you reading? I'm reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
8. Do kids these days still play that "You must pay the rent!" "I can't pay the rent" game? I do not know this game...
9. What's one thing you wish for Christmakwanzafestikah this year? Hmmm...I just wish everything will work out and I can go to Hawaii for a week in January!
10. Do you have any questions? Yes, is it your birthday? If so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
1. 8th deadly sin? Apathy perhaps.
ReplyDelete2. My MAC is six years old. I LOVE my MAC, but I know it needs to be replaced/upgraded and I don't want to do it. As for my laptop at my joe job, I HATE it. It's a PC... need I say more?
3. Ummm..... you were there at the result two months ago this past Friday. You took some really awesome pics, which others may have seen too on your Flickr pool. Actually, he never asked me to marry him. His mother did. Last February, over tea. I quote, "So, when are the two of you going to get married?"
4. Favourite holiday meal item: roast lamb. It beats out turkey every single time.
5. Yes, fan of Roald Dhal here- ha ha.
6. The more important question may be: have I started my holiday shopping? You know how I feel about shopping.... argh! It may never get done.
7. I'm reading the Lonely Planet Guidebook to Costa Rica since we're leaving in just over two weeks (how AM I going to get all that holiday shopping done in that time??), and I'm reviewing my first year university Spanish textbook because my Spanish is muy rusty. Oh, and I'm about to start Emma Ruby-Sachs' new book "The Water Man's Daughter."
8.What IS this game? Do tell more.
9. Ummm... a good acting gig for me, for my brother to find a way to pay off his debts, stability in the world markets so my mother will quit worrying about money all the time... oh and a cat, but C is allergic so... sigh... giving up cats was a hard decision to make in whether or not to marry him.
10. Did your kitchen sink get fixed yet?
1. Oblivious is a good sin. Sometimes it's one I wish I could indulge in.
ReplyDelete2. I don't know, but from the sounds of it, it's pretty freakin cool.
3. I said yes because he's my best friend. Also, we were told we'd get more money for grad school. That part was not true, but at least we had each other as we struggled through grad school.
4. Dressing
5. Yes.
6. Nope
7. I'm in a book rut. I'll start again when the knitting bug goes away.
8. I have never heard of this game.
9. I'm bringing the sappy. I wish to be with my friends and family.
10. Who's birthday is it? Happy Birthday!
I'm not answering all the questions...but #3? I said no...I'd have been wife #5 and he cheated on all the previous...by his own admission. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck! As for Christmas shopping?...How hard is it to buy gift cards??? Not that I've started yet.
