Accommodations – Monday Madness

Posted on July 5, 2004 | Leave a comment
1. Bed & Breakfast or hotel?
B & B is the preference. But I also like the hotel with hot tub, pool, bar and WifI…
2. What determines where you stay?(i.e. price, accommodations, transportation, travel package)
Price helps, next trip it’s part of the package. It was the only way to make the flight affordable and it seems like we ended up with a great place.
3. When determining where to stay, do you ever consider the establishment’s history? (i.e. it might be haunted, location of high profile crime)
If it were interesting but not something I “shop” for when making plans.
4. Would such considerations sway your decision?
I might avoid the ghost. Or pay extra to know that einstein was conceived there…
5. Do you try and read the local paper for where you’re visiting, to get an idea of what the area’s like?
Definitely! I want to see what the people and area are like! I want a cafe to hang out at, maybe a bar or bookstore and want them to know my name or at least my order by the time I’m gone…

Speaking of my new background/layout.

I like the leaf motif and the colors but what I really wanted was something more green (this brownish stuff isn’t summer-ish enough for me) if anyone has a good green leafy background please let me know…

20 Questions to a Better Personality

Posted on July 5, 2004 | Leave a comment

You know I rarely do these, let alone post them (I usually only post the ones that have a question and answer, not a result). I found this quiz from Lisa at Glimpse of a Grrl who said it was ‘dead on’ for her.

You are an SECF–Sober Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a hippie. You are passionate about your causes and steadfast in your commitments. Once you’ve made up your mind, no one can convince you otherwise. Your politics are left-leaning, and your lifestyle choices decidedly temperate and chaste.

You do tremendous work when focused, but usually you operate somewhat distracted. You blow hot and cold, and while you normally endeavor on the side of goodness and truth, you have a massive mean streak which is not to be taken lightly. You don’t get mad, you get even.

I’d say the last sentence and a half is inaccurate. I’m not mean, but sometimes people who don’t know me might think my sarcasm is mean. And if you know me… you know I don’t get mad (or even).

I was semi-borderline for the C and the F so I looked at the key to see what happened if I filler them arround. and the three other choices were even less me (politician, dictator or evil genius) and while I may do good at either of them I have no such high-moral aspirations.

I freed my first book!

Posted on July 4, 2004 | 1 comment

So I released my first Book Crossing book! I let loose Echo Burning (a Jack Reacher Novel) by Lee Child (I actually had a few in my backpack, it seemed the one most likely not to get tossed out). I was at dinner at TGIFriday’s and just left it on one of the unoccupied chairs after I cashed out. I was trying to be secretive and it felt like I was doing something wrong, I could see them chasing me, “sir, you left your book” and me trying to deny it…

Set them free!!!

Posted on July 3, 2004 | Leave a comment

Okay so I’ve heard of Book Crossing before but never got around to doing anything with it. But when I go on vacation I always like to take a few books that don’t make the trip back; gotta have some room for some souvenirs, eh? So I finally signed up and I’m pretty geeked about it.

You put a note in the front off the book, tell them the book is on a journey and they should get on-line to register it’s location so that it’s path can be followed! Very cool! I don’t know if I can wait, I’m ready to label some books and let them go tomorrow!


You can actually see things like the 100 most recently released books. Then you can go hunt for them! If you sign up be sure to mention that garylapointe sent you.
