Show us something you use every day.
The spectacles, not the grapes.
What's your motto?
We do better as we know better.
Who's your favorite movie villain?
What books are on your nightstand?
Book club meets tonight, so I suppose I'll find out then what I'll be reading immediately. In the meantime, I've just been browsing through some old books. I'm sort of in a slump right now. I haven't had a whole lot of spare time to begin with, what with Sam starting school on Friday and preparing for that, and what little time I've had has gone into knitting.
Show us some rules.
Yeah, I know. :-P
What's the nerdiest thing about you?
The way my brain will automatically seem to pick the geekiest choice when a reference is vague. Like, a friend called yesterday from his military base in Colorado, and when he said that he could see NORAD and Cheyenne Mountain from his desk, and he said, "And you know what that means?" my response was "Ooh! Stargate!"
Or the fact that on my calendar I've notated my trips to the shrink as "Tardis." (You know, because I'm going to see The Doctor.)
Or the fact that I can answer yes to at least 37 of these (and when I was in grad school, another such list I had included, and I was forced to answer "yes" to, a question about remembering telephone numbers by singing them as pitch class sets).
Or the fact that my children march around pretending to be Daleks (even Gabe).
I could go on, but I'm afraid.
Okay, so in the review where it says something like, "Some of the stories are magical, and some are tragic"? I took that at face value, and I kept reading, going, "Okay, tragic...tragic...where's my tissue box?...more tragic..." just waiting for something "magical." And they were all very good stories; don't get me wrong! I enjoyed every one of them! When a review says something like that, though, I interpret "magical" to be the opposite of "tragic," and I assume (obviously mistakenly) that some of the stories will not have me reaching for Kleenex and a straight razor.
The author's apparent stance: arranged marriage = very, very bad. Oh, and pakoras = very, very good. I can certainly go with the latter.
So...Vox is MySpace with better connectivity between third-party sites like Flickr and Amazon? That's it? Huh.
