Since all the cool kids are doin’ it…
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Took two vacations. Ate frog legs. Cried over an election (not ours).
2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t really resolve. Decided some changes were needed this year, [...]



I am tired, it’s been a long day, I can’t think of anything compelling or thoughtful to post. As a result, stealing a one-word answer meme from Ms. Violet seems like an excellent idea. (What, you thought NaBloPoMo was going to be 30 solid days of masterful erudition?)
You have to answer each question [...]



Because it’s been a while, and because it seems like a comfortably lazy thing to do today.
Stolen from Violet.

Hellboy II, last Sunday. Dark Knight is this week!

I don’t really [...]

Do you own a gun?
Nerf, yes. With human stopping power, no.
What do you think of hot dogs?
I get a wicked craving for them about once a year. Then [...]



From Sherry, via Rose…
(I went with a selection of alternative universes, like Sherry did, rather than a detailed riff on one, like Rose did.)
- alcoholic novelist
- farmer’s market baker (not one of the cute daughters they use to sell produce, more the robust ones who make cinnamon buns)
- pet manicurist
- assassin (bladed weapon specialist)
- SAHM [...]

Not that that result is surprising.

As snagged from Sherry, though I’ve seen it a few other places, too, since.
Caveat: there are a small handful of these that kinda ring a bell, but I can’t, for the life of me, peg whether I actually have read them or not, even with the help of Amazon. In those cases, I’ve erred on [...]



Easier than thinking. Courtesy of… oh, everyone.
1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?
Visited San Francisco, bought a Mac.
2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
