What's your favorite blend or brand of coffee or tea?
I like French roasts, Italian roasts, bold roasts from Starbucks. I think one of my favorites they brew is a komodo dragon blend of something. I'm one of those bastards you can't pass a shitty blend of coffee on. People have tried and witnessed my coffee wince. It isn't pretty and can't be helped. My sister and brother-in-law, after years of serving me folgers or whatever she could get a large tin of for $1.99 finally gave in and give Starbucks a shot. They've never gone back. At least all the way back. It's not exclusively a Starbucks thing as it is a quality thing.
Trust me, my coffee affliction is so deep rooted that if all that there is to suck down is some envelope glue flavored blend swept from the filthy floor trafficked by filthy vermin (or possibly even remnants of coffee excreted by them) of the fear factor variety, I'll drink it and wince proudly.
Tea: I like Earl Grey, Rooibos blends, green tea, and a few other blends that don't make my stomach feel sick.
I'm in need of a good day. The last three haven't been so great.
Sat going into Sun, I slept almost twelve hours and didn't feel like getting up at all. I felt completely ripe with headache and bitterness.
I completely fucking lost it when someone treated a hardcover book of mine as a food tray -- getting one side a little wet from laying it in water under a dish rack and smudged all up with grease stains. Did I go overboard? Kind of, but if that someone might have done the same had I done it to one of their books. In retrospect, I only wish I didn't throw the book like a ninja weapon! Yelling was fine in and of itself. (Just for clarification, an adult did this)
Two hours after that incident, I went back to bed, got up, went back to bed, ect... I finally got up to leave my room Monday at 12:34pm -- again, not wanting to get out of bed.
I sat here, there, and everywhere feeling completely achy and at times tired. Earlier, I went to the store just to get the fuck out. I sat here, reading and browsing and just realized...
It's past 4am.
So, tomorrow, I'm going to the mall so capitalism, slow walking mall rats, and fast food and have a chance at pissing me off. Hopefully. If I can peel myself out of bed.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
That would probably be Daryl Hannah and the reason would be "Splash". Which was before the Tom Hanks dislike set in. There's also Lynda Carter, you could call that a kid crush. Pat Benatar, the singer crush... Erin Gray, from Buck Rogers... Sigourney Weaver, because she was the first star I saw in her panties and since I wanted more I got to see more in some of her previous movies. Ah... The starving artist days.
What is your favorite day of the week?
I dislike them all equally. Sunday's my most disliked day of all. So... go ahead, from the miserable pile of 6 days left to pick, pick one and call it my favorite.
What are your favorite weird food combinations?
Submitted by Dulce.
I've always found my favorite food combos that would be considered weird to many would be ones I've had that borrow from different cultures. I once had wasabi ice cream with pineapple and coconut (I had this at a Cold Stone). I've also had red bean ice cream and some wonderful lotus bean sundae or ice cream or smoothie from great Asian restaurants. Another ethic treat that came from our family is noodles and prunes. The prunes are stewed and the noodles are fried with breadcrumbs and butter (It's so fucking good, but I bet you're just reading that in disgust aren't ya?). Also, there was their hot chocolate bar I got at Target made by Choxie that had chipotle in it... It was SOOO good.
I'm checking it out and I'm waiting to see if I think it's as cool as they make it sound on their website.
Anyone else on it?
I spent part of this week watching cartoons with my youngest niece while she was out from school. Digital Cable is like crack... While there is more stuff I wouldn't watch on it, there's always at least a handful of things I would! We had a ball watching The Avatar, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Ben 10, Pokemon, Spongebob Squarepants, as well as many oldies on Boomerrang like Top Cat, Pink Panther, The Jetsons and that old cartoon featuring an Aardvark... I can't seem to recall the title. Anyways, I had a great time having her fill me in on story lines from Avatar, have silly debates over which cartoon characters were smarter, making ramen for lunch and playing with her Nintendo portables, which, every so often she'd bring over and ask "can you beat this for me?" She liked having an old school gamer crack the tougher parts of Super Mario 3 for her. She also managed to confiscate one of my Metroid games while she spent time at our house. She loves playing it, but to really play it you have to read which she didn't want to do at first.
One of my older nieces was also home from time to time, whenever she wasn't in class at college or working. I asked her what she thought of my new look and she said I looked like Satan. I thought that was pretty hilarious. I said 'Well you know, my birthday is June sixth!...' her shrill laughter was priceless and I continued 'that little Damien bastard, always stealing my thunder! I'M THE DEMON SPAWN!' which caused her to erupt a bit louder. So, does this look make me look demonic?
Should it stay or should it go? Most of me likes it and to an extent I don't mind using this look to fend off anyone who didn't already know me who'd think I looked spooky, evil, or satanic. I can't say I'm keen on people who'd jump to stupid conclusions on looks alone. BOO! Whatever. :) >:)
Have you ever played matchmaker? How did it go?
I have, once. How'd it go? They're married. I wasn't even invited to the wedding. *shrug*
