BigToe Checking In For Duty (3)

[BigToe]

Is there a limit to how many questions I can ask? You can ask as many questions as you would like, I'll try to answer them all too. But sometimes I might miss one so you'll just have to remind me.

Do you like P.G. Wodehouse? I don't know who that is. I'm assuming a writer, but I don't know why.

Classic Pooh or Disney Pooh? Disney, I admit it. I grew up on it. But not the way it is now. Sometime while I was in middle school or high school they changed it up a bit, I'm sure to keep up with the time. I don't like that Pooh. I like the old song that was happy and Poohlike, the more poppy one doesn't do it for me.

Many people who don't know each other have independently told me that living in Austin would really suit me. Why is that? Because Austin woudl suit you apparently. I don't know you personally to know what aspect of Austin they had in mind. It's a decent sized city but has a small town feel to it. It has a huge arts community, is very active in giving back to those less fortunate, and lots of outdoorsy things to do. There are plenty of churches, so you wouldn't go without a job. There's just a lot going on here that makes it easy for many people to fall in love with it. It's an oasis in the state, as far as a lot of people are concerned.

What book have you read most recently, and how was it? The last one I completed was Island of the Sequined Love Nuns by Christopher Moore. It was hilarious. I'm right now reading, when I remember to actually pick up a book, Fynn's Mister God This Is Anna because several people mentioned loving it. When I said I'd never heard of it Cat59 mailed me a copy she had. I'm also reading Reading Lolita in Tehran. It seems to be taking me forever because I keep misplacing it and finally giving in to read another book. It's good and quite interesting.

What's the worst movie you've ever seen? Hmm, I'm usually pretty easy when it comes to movies. I don't know that I can pick one worst movie, so I'll just list a few that you couldn't pay me to even think about watching again. Vanilla Sky, Shallow Hal, Talented Mr Ripley, Pursuit of Happyness, and Babel. I'm sure there are others out there. Those are just the ones I remember really making me angry that I wasted my time watching them all the way through.

Do you take vitamins? I'm doing Jenny Craig and one of the snacks we eat has a multivitamin in it. So by default yes. Though I have some vitamins in my medicine cabinet too. I just forget to take them regularly.

Do you like meeting new people?

P.G. Wodehouse is famous for "Jeeves and Wooster" which was also made into a BBC miniseries with Fry and Laurie. Add both to your Netflix queue. You won't be disappointed.

What annoyed you about those movies? Is there a particular genre you tend to despise?

What's the most interesting thing that happened to you this year?

 

[Macrina]

What kind of dressing do you put on your salad?

Is your dresser taller than it is wide, or vice versa?

Do you know that asking questions can be rather addictive?

If you were to get a third pet, what would it be?

When are you starting belly dance lessons?

Ten years from today, exactly, what will be written on your daily planner?

Have you ever made cheese?

Have you ever made fimo beads?

Have you ever made a gingerbread house?

Do you separate your laundry into lights/darks, regular/delicate, or just throw it all in together?

Yes, but it also makes me have to pee a lot when I meet new people.

P.G. Wodehouse is famous for "Jeeves and Wooster" which was also made into a BBC miniseries with Fry and Laurie. Add both to your Netflix queue. You won't be disappointed.

I've aded it all to the Netflix queue. If I hate them, I'm blaming you for recommending them.

As for the movies I've listed....

Vanilla Sky- It was long and they tried to make it confusing for like two hours then the last 30 minutes, most were spent on a elevator. I thought the ending was one of the worst endings ever. Then for it to just end the way it did made it all not worth having sat there to watch the movie. In fairness, I did see it twice thinking maybe I was being too harsh the first time I saw it. Nah...

Shallow Hal - It insulted my intelligence with how dumb it was.

Talented Mr Ripley - In fairness even the novel wasn't good. I saw it only for Jude Law. I just thought it was idiotic how predictable it was and that no one in the film caught on...

Babel - It tried to do what Crash did, take seemingly unrelated stories about people and show their connection. Only the connection was lame. Any of the three stories (Japan, Morocco, or US/Mexico) could have been interesting films on their own. As it was the way they got the Japanese story in at all was the lamest. The only good part was the Mexican nanny, and duh the filmmaker is Mexican so he'd get that right for sure.

Pursuit of Happyness - I call it the Pursuit of Something That Rhymes with Happyness but has a c and r instead of the H. The book the guy wrote was interesting. The real man's story is incredibly interesting. But for me, it started in a low place, got even lower and then the pay off was supposed to be some text on the screen saying it was all great? For the movie to have worked, it needed some sort of payoff in the end. And more than text and more than saying he got the job. Something to actually represent that life got better, not just that it would get better in the future. If nothing else, buying a new toy to replace the one his son lost in the street would have been a better ending. SOMETHING.

What's the most interesting thing that happened to you this year?
That's the sort of question I am horrible at. This year? Heck, probably a combo of turning 25 and seeing snow actually fall from the sky for the first time. That was pretty interesting for me.

What kind of dressing do you put on your salad? Generally I just put balsamic vinegar on it, but I've discovered those salad spritzer things where each spray has only 1 calorie so I've found I like the Red Wine and Italian Dressing ones.

Is your dresser taller than it is wide, or vice versa? The dresser in my room is taller than it is wide. It was my great-grandfathers. The one in the guest room is one I made and I think it is slightly taller than it is wide.

Do you know that asking questions can be rather addictive? As can be answering them. You should get a FTB thread.

If you were to get a third pet, what would it be? Well technically I think I already had a third, fourth, fifth, etc before I got Beep Beep, I have a lot of fish. If I got another non-fish I think I would get a puppy or another bunny and I'm thinking another bunny before a puppy.

When are you starting belly dance lessons? I'm not sure, I have to talk to my friend and see when they start.

Ten years from today, exactly, what will be written on your daily planner? I'm horrible at keeping planners. I get one every year thinking it will be something I can keep up with. And I'll do it for a week or two, then lose it. I might pick it up a few times in the year, but that's it. I do have a calendar hanging in my kitchen that I keep up with. And if you mean 10 years from today, it will probably say what movie I'm going to see

Have you ever made cheese? No, but I've certainly cut it before hehe.

Have you ever made fimo beads? I'm not certain I know what those are either. But I've never made any sort of bead, so no.

Have you ever made a gingerbread house? I've made gingerbread villages. Luckily for the peasants, I didn't know about Trogdor yet.

Do you separate your laundry into lights/darks, regular/delicate, or just throw it all in together? Well, they all go in one laundry basket, but they get separated before going into the washing machine. I have enough blue and pink clothes that each gets their own load. Towels all go together. Sheets all go together (if its from the same set). Then the rags and bathroom carpets go together too.

You made a dresser? Cool! Are you a carpenter? Like Jesus?

Do you know that asking questions can be rather addictive? As can be answering them. You should get a FTB thread.

I might. I used to have one in Singles and hardly anybody posted, which made me feel all neglected and unloved. If I started one, would you post in it to make me feel special?

Do your fish have names? If so, what? If not, why not?

You made a dresser? Cool! Are you a carpenter? Like Jesus? Well, more like I painted it. I'm a fan of getting stuff at the unfinished furniture store and painting it and picking out knobs. I enjoy getting to pick out knobs, knobs are cool.



I might. I used to have one in Singles and hardly anybody posted, which made me feel all neglected and unloved. If I started one, would you post in it to make me feel special? Oh you bet I would post in your thread. Like all day long. I'd post so much you will get sick of it and give up hehe.



Do your fish have names? If so, what? If not, why not? Half of them have names and half don't. In my bedroom I have my betta named Boo Radley. In the kitchen I have four fish: Atticus, Finch, Donut Hole and Powdered Sugar (one of those last two actually died two days ago). In the office I have a 20 gallon tank that probably only has about 12 gallons in it and a handful of fish. Only one of those fish has a name, The Fighting Betsty. The rest don't because I decided I don't like those fish. And really I want them to die so I can redo my tank and get cool fish.




Back at you!

Cool! So you live in a place where snow is a rare thing? Here we have snow every winter...

I livein a place where dropping below 50F is a rare thing, so it is extremely rare to it to be below freezing or anything. When it gets that cold, we just get ice, no snow.

That is a very interesting question and I'm not sure how to word my response. The short of it is no. But there are occasional times when it might be yes, depending - usually on how 2 or 4 look to be.

 

[MQTA]

[BigToe]

Snuggle fish are always good answers, I'm glad you know that too I've missed you bunches *snuggles* and *hugs* and all that. MWAH

Do you speak whale?

 

[BigToe]

Do you speak whale?

Wwwwwhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy, yyyyyyeeeeeeessssssssssss IIIIIIIIIIIIIII ddddddddddoooooooooooo.

 

[WalksWithChrist]

If a whale poops in the middle of the ocean and no one is around...does it make a sound when it hits bottom?

 

[*Starlight*]

Do you have a pet rock in real life, or just on CF?

Do you think it is ever more damaging to forgive than not?
