RE: Blogs – 7

Posted on May 30, 2004 | Leave a comment
1. Why do you read other blogs? Is it voyeurism? Curiosity? Are you just being nosy?
Hell yeah! It’s interesting. Sometimes it’s like “what will they post this week?” and “don’t they realize their kids’ll read this some day?!?”. And sometime’s it’s to keep up with friends or technical information.
2. What is it that keeps you coming back to the blogs you read, regularly?
Sometimes to fine out the next chapter of their “soap opera”, or the next quiz, or goofy thing their kid did. Sometimes I read it just because I stopped by for a meme…
3. Do you leave a comment on every blog you read? If not – what is it that motivates you to click the “Comments” link?
No, should I? I usually only speak up if I have something to say. I agree, disagree, know the “right” answer, etc. Sometimes it’s just a friendly I remember how that feels, it’ll better, etc. And I’ll comment (or trackback) when i do their quiz/meme/etc.
4. Speaking of other blogs you read regularly . . you know the protocol by now – list’em!
Didn’t we just do this last week? I would update, but I blew out my bookmarks this week, so I’m back to last weeks (thank God for backups!) bookmarks. Oh, I’ve added one I remember… But it hasn’t been updated much since I found it drunkenbee, and I always check out the Movable Type start page since they list recently updated MT blogs.

Where do you plan to go on vacation this year, or where would you want to go?
I’ve still never been to Roswell. But I think I’d like to go to London while it’s nice this summer. Maybe back to Costa Rica when it’s cold up here…
Soup
What color is your bedroom? If you could redecorate it, what would you change?
Plain, flat off white. I’m pretty happy with it, maybe a new bigger bed. Oh, and I’d paint the Windows black!
Salad
Do you have a bumper sticker on your vehicle? If not, make one up!
HONK IF YOU’RE BLOGGING!!!
Main Course
What’s the worst pain you’ve ever been in?
When I was fifteen I walked through a glass door at the mall, cut up both of my arms pretty bad, bad enough that my mom probably didn’t have any problem following the trail… Hours later the shot they gave me at the hospital for pain hurt much more than the actual accident (but I wasn’t in shock any more either.
Dessert
Who is your favorite celebrity? What do they do that inspires you?
Gene Hackman. He always does great and he does different roles from being a spy to Lex Luthor to…

Wednesday Whatevers 5/26

Posted on May 26, 2004 | Leave a comment
1. Should somebody be your enemy if they are your parents’ enemy? Why?
Not a chance! Why? Because they aren’t mine. I’m assuming we’re talking about the mean neighbors down the street and not some people (or aliens) that are hunting them down…
2. Why do you answer memes?
Because I’m a meme-a-holic. I’m actually looking for a 12 step program. I love them. They give me something to talk about without me having to come up with a subject. It’s lets me talk/share without having to complain about stuff that people generally complain about.
3. Do you use net slang or type correctly?
No. I’m not even sure I understand the question (net slang OR net type?). Besides using Google as a verb I’m not sure I use too much.

HomeWork: Week 17

Posted on May 26, 2004 | Leave a comment

Do you have a codified housework schedule, or do you fly by the seat of your pants? If you have a schedule, how is it organized? Room by room? Chore by chore? Do members of your household rotate chores on a regular basis?Cleaning, always picking up the day before the cleaning lady comes by (so she can get around). Lately I’ve been behind with grocery shopping. I’m usually not behind with laundry. It’s usually more messy than dirty…

Meme about blogging – RE: Blogs

Posted on May 23, 2004 | Leave a comment
1. Blog confession time: Is there a topic that you shy away from on purpose on your blog? What is that topic, and why?
I barely ever complain, so that keeps me out of trouble but that’s a topic as much as a concept. Dating is something I avoid, I’d probably mention holidays or something in regards to it but just generally talking about dating I’d avoid. Because if I blog less or more it’s sure to mean something that I didn’t intend and I don’t want people comparing notes (that I supply)…
2. Define your blog to the world – in six words.
Nice, fun, happy, non–politcal, geek-ish, thoughtful…
3. Repeat question from RE: Blogs 1: What is current, most favorite blog tool?
Ecto is a great blogging client for the desktop for OS X, be sure to check it out (I thin ikthey just did a windows version). Also, I just added PHP to my Movable Type system, that was a breeze and helps me do a few things more efficiently…
4. RE:Blogs that have captured your attention – – no number limit here – – hand out some link luvin’s from your blog to theirs
  • Here In Katie’s Head I get to read about a semi-normal person through their on-line diary.
  • Heather thinks Rambling is Good for the Soul and she’s been a friend for a ling time, it’s interesting to keep in touch without direct communication.
  • Sarah is definitely a SassyPants I don’t know where I found her but I like my daily dose.
  • I just got Dawn hooked on blogging so she’s been a must read lately.
  • Melissa is Anything but Ordinary and posts a good read too.
  • I’ve been using The Daily Meme and Lost (and Found) Memes lately when looking for things to blog about, they’ve made it easier which means I do it more. Not sure if that’s a good thing. (Shameless plug)
  • This Fish Needs a Bicycle even has an application on-line.
  • This is taking forever to do this part… I’ve either got the above memorized or I was playing with a RSS feed beta in Yahoo! so I had the addresses on hand. I’ll have to elaborate on these and others more later…

    Feast One

    What time do you usually wake up each day? If you could choose your wake-up time, when would it be?
    6:45 ish. I’m more of a night person so 10 am would work well for me.
    Soup
    When was the last time you bought groceries? What store did you go to? Name 3 things you purchased.
    Last Monday. Farmer Jack. Eggs, OJ and Cantelope; pretty much things I buy every visit (bacon too!).
    Salad
    How many books have you read so far this year? Which was your favorite and why?
    Books! Probably a couple dozen. My favorite was Hybrids, the third part of a trilogy by Robert Sawyer (kind of a canadian Michael Criton). It was a great series and they went in a different direction than I thought they were going (which was good, since I didn’t like my guess).
    Main Course
    What is something you consider to be very elegant? In particular, what about that item/place/person conjures up the feeling of elegance?
    Delicate, perfect, breakable, unique, crisp…
    Dessert
    Who taught you how to drive?
    I took driver’s ed somewhere, but I pretty much had the idea down by then from watchign and motorcycles and such.

    I Got the Music in Me – Friday Forum

    Posted on May 21, 2004 | Leave a comment
    1] You’re making a CD mix titled, “The Soundtrack of My Life.” Which songs would you include, and why?
    Specific songs? I don’t know all of the titles but I know I’d start with one or two from each of the following. Tori Amos (something from the early years), Indigo Girls (early), Sarah Mclachlan (two or three from Sufacing?), Carly Simon (the cover she did of the theme from Casablanca), Jewel (the first two albums), Alanis (the one of the City of Angels soundtrack), Big Bird doing the ABC song. I might look up specifics later, but it’s been a long week…
    2] What is your favorite song right now?
    Probably one of the new Liz Phair songs, she’s been getting a lot of play by me lately. Maybe “My Favorite Underwear” that one always makes me smile.
    3] You’re feeling down, sad, lonely, frustrated, angry … which song[s] do you play to help yourself feel better?
    Usually some older stuff. Either an 80’s retro mix (the more dance type stuff, but always including Tainted Love) or a GoGo’s deluxe mix (GoGo’s, Jane Weidlan, Belinda, The Graces all shuffled up).
    4] Do you watch the TV show “American Idol”? Why/why not? Who do you think will win the competition?
    Not at all. It just doesn’t pose any interest to me.
    5] Do most of your friends generally share your taste in music?
    A lot of my female college friends like the earthier stuff, the guy friends liked the retro 80’s stuff. Current friends all like a little bit of one part and someone likes part of another.

    I keep thinking am I picking songs from various eras to be the sound track or do I actually want to words to convey my life? I’m sure I’m over thinking this… But I’ve got a little bit of both…
