Cooked to Medium Rare – Thursday Threesome

Posted on July 20, 2006 | 1 comment
Onesome: Cooked to?– Okay, the easy one: if you’re having grilled meat (steak/hamburger) this weekend, how would you like it cooked?
Well done. I don’t need it like a puck but I don’t want any red. I don’t want any indication this was on a living creature at some time previous to my eating it….
Twosome: Medium– to large? …too large? What do you think of the big ol’ plasma screen HDTVs available now? I mean, would you if you could?
Awesome, but if you’ve got a room you can dim you can probably put in a projector for lots LE$$. Mine is 105 inches diagonally!
Threesome: Rare– Footage: one of the major news services recently announced they would make archived news coverage available for personal purchase on DVD. Is there any one piece/segment/area of old news (or new) you’d like to have on your bookshelf to view “whenever”?
Yes, I’d like all the times I’ve made it on TV for one reason or another on one DVD (and others in my family too). But real news? Not really.

Premium Chicken Sandwich – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on July 8, 2005 | 2 comments
Onesome: Premium— Have you tried any of the fast food empire’s ‘Premium’ sandwiches lately? Was it any good?
I just tried the new a Sirloin Steakhouse Cheesesteak Sandwich (sliced beef, cheese, onions peppers and some kind of parmesan sauce on a new bun/roll) at Arby’s but they don’t list it on their web site so it must be a trial of some sort. It was delicious and they sell it as a wrap too.
Twosome: Chicken— Chicken, beef, fish, tofu… What’s your dietary staple?
Mostly beef and chicken. If it’s fish it’s generally scrimp (or fast food). The Deluxe Chicken at Burger King is delicious too.
Threesome: Sandwich— Let’s do lunch! Do we head for that fast food place? …or will noon find us over at your favorite deli noshing down?
Generally at lunch (M-F) is fast food, maybe a Panera (usually if I know I’m working late

The Thursday Threesome (04/21/05)

Posted on April 22, 2005 | Leave a comment

The Thursday Threesome is back after some technical difficulties with their Domain Name Renewal so that is the theme for today’s questions…

Onesome: Domain–Hypothetically, if you could own any domain name you wanted, what would it be and why?
McDonalds.com would be a good one, I’m sure it’s worth some $$$. But I’d like LaPointe.com or Hill.com which are family names (even lapointefamily,com or hilllfamily.com would be nice). I’d just like to get more family “stuff” on-line and that would be a good address.
Twosome: Name— Are you called by something other than your legal name? If not, have you ever had a nickname? Or done something weird with your name, to try and stand out? Like an odd spelling or a slightly different pronunciation? Or just flat out wanted to change your name? To what?

Routine Scheduled Maintenance – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on March 3, 2005 | Leave a comment
Onesome: Routine— Tell us about your morning routine. Do you get up at the same time every day, or do you sometimes hit the snooze button on your alarm clock more often than you should? Do you head straight for the coffee or into the shower?
A bright light turns on automatically just before the alarm, I hit snooze a few times and get up. Turn the shower on, put some bacon on the stove and hop in the shower. Flip the bacon, get some clothes, bacon in the oven to warm and put on an egg. Grab the cellphone out of the charger, drag the podcasts that got downloaded in the night onto the iPod. Flip egg, dress, cut a slice of catelope, eat, leave. (Other than the iPod part this has been my routine for years)
Twosome: Scheduled— What’s on your schedule for the day? Do you schedule every minute or go with the flow?
I gotta go with the flow, but there are days when it’s all pre-scheduled in advance.
Threesome: Maintenance— What do you do to maintain your sanity each day in this hectic world? Do you find a little time to yourself each day and meditate, or wait until everyone’s tucked in for the night and log on to the computer or settle down with a book? Or do you run off to the gym and maintain your body while maintaining your mind?
I always need to escape work and get lunch and I generally read a book while eating. Sometimes I’ll read before bed too (but a different book, since the first one is still in the car).

Capricious – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on June 24, 2004 | Leave a comment

Capricious: Governed or characterized by impulse or whim, lacking rational basis or likely to change suddenly:

Onesome: Characterized by impulse–Do you you consider yourself impulsive or do you tend to think everything through before you make a move?
I’m pretty impulsive. Except – buying electronic toys and relationships. If I rush into them I tend to not appreciate it enough.
Twosome: lacking rational basis–If you are impulsive, do you rationalize and justify your actions? Like, since that item you bought on a whim was on sale, you really saved money by buying it?
Sometimes. If it’s on “sale” it might make more sense to buy it then run around trying to find a better price.
Threesome: or likely to change suddenly— When you make up your mind, does it stay made up or do you tend to change your mind at the last minute? …or do you waffle back and forth until you’re forced to decide?
I generally make up my mind. Sometimes I waffle and the decision is made for me…

Things that go bump in the night – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on June 17, 2004 | Leave a comment
Onesome: Things that go– What’s the strangest contraption you’ve ever had to use to get from point A to point B?
After thinking about it, probably my legs and feet. A bike is just some wheels and gears but your legs and feet are pretty complicated for actually working and lasting for as long as they do.
Twosome: Bump– Have you ever hurt yourself doing something you weren’t supposed to be doing?
In gymnastics in college, I was using the vault without a spotter. I fell and knocked myself silly but I stood up and acted like I was fine or I knew the professor would kill me…
Threesome: In the night– Do you believe in things that go bump in the night or anything supernatural?
Yes. But it’s only “super”-natural in that we don’t understand it (yet).

School Bus Stop – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on June 10, 2004 | Leave a comment
Onesome: School— Since the school year seems to be over (your mileage may vary: some of you are already in summer sessions!): what was your favorite year in school? Yeah, the one you had the best time in or learned something special or had that learning breakthrough?
I loved the year I spent in my master’s program. Projects I liked, classes, I liked, profs I liked, I think I even got in a lot of dating and socializing in that year!
Twosome: Bus— Hey, how did you get to school in the early years? Walk? Bike? Mommy van? Bus? …and for those still attending, how are you getting to and fro these days?
Walked, when I got older I biked. When I got to middle school, I was pretty good on my bike in the snow (falling on the ice is way better than falling on cement).
Threesome: Stop— …and when did you stop going to school? …or did you? Are you still at it? Any plans to go back for those who are out of the system?
I went for 11 years straight. One summer I worked at a camp but every other summer I took classes. 4 Associate’s, 1 Bachelor’s, 1 Master’s and a lot of assorted credits. I loved college, I loved my assistantships too. I only left because they kept complaining about ‘academic progress’ or something like that… I didn’t really like the Ph.D. classes so much. I miss it, I miss the East Lansing area. What I really miss is that every 10 weeks class was over and you got to start over, you could only fall so far behind before you ‘reset’ back to the starting line again. it was kind of refreshing.

Learning to Ride – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on May 27, 2004 | Leave a comment
Onesome: Learning– Hey, what would you like to learn how to do this Summer? Learn to ride a motorcycle (like Sarah)? Learn PHP? Learn how to chill out and vegetate properly (lessons available )?
PHP! Just learning so that’s a good mission. If only the laptop had a brighter screen so I could use it better outside. I’d like to learn how to rollerblade backwards! I’ve never be able to do that (on purpose).
Twosome: to– Too? Two? Okay, two things you are positively not going to learn how to do! Ever!
Splunking (big fear of getting trapped in a cave/suffocating). Hunting for sport.
Threesome: Ride– Speaking of motorcycles: Do you ride? Did you ever ride? …or do you just enjoy them? …or maybe, “No way!”?
I used to. I had a bike as a kid and it was street legal so when I turned sixteen it was the only two wheels I had to ride. It’s fun but I’m a packrat and a bike doesn’t work for me (my convertible on the other hand…)
