Jackie's Quirky Musings

This is a shot I took of some neat fungus growing on a sawed close to the ground tree stump. 

I'm SO behind on my blogging!  This week's 'Amazing Race' was a two hour ordeal and my review/recap of that for my show blog took up a few hours in the morning yesterday.  Then the electrician arrived to do some wiring work in my apartment.  Now, I knew he'd be here one day and I prefer to be home when strangers are lurking or working in my apartment, so it's good it was my day off.  BUT... we're talking electrician here.  I was sans computer and/or electricity on and off for a few hours.  Grr.  By then I had errands I had to run and then I was beat last night and conked out early.  I have to catch up with the meme posted by Betty.  But, for tonight, the one posted by Francis here ---> Getting to know you... is easier.  I just finished my recap/review of tonight's 'Survivor' for that blog, so my mind is fried.  Oh, and I was up at 6 this morning.  Oh, and I want to watch Steve Martin on Letterman tonight.  Hmmm... I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead.  <grin> 

What color are your kitchen plates?

It depends.  Medium sized are white with a maroon band around the edge.  The big good ones are white with one offset pink rose.

What is on your mouse pad?

I had a mouse pad crisis.  Right now I'm on a real old one that I didn't use for years, maybe a decade.  It's for a computer game called "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" -- the game is on my Windows 95 computer, so it's old.  It's based on a Harlan Ellison story.

What is your favorite game?

Scrabble

Do you like peas?

Yes, although I liked canned or uncooked raw from the pods.  I don't like frozen peas.

What song are you listening to now? If not listening to a song now, what is the most recent song you heard?

I have the news on now.  For some reason, all day at work I had the old America song "Horse With No Name" in my mind if that counts.  'Cuz there ain't no one for to cause you no pain.

What is your biggest pet peeve while driving?

I have so many!  Cars in the passing lane not passing is the worst, I guess.

Do you make your bed every morning?

No.  I live alone.  When I put fresh linens on, I make the bed!  :-)

What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Sausage stuffing which my mother made but never gave anyone the recipe.  She died when I was young and I experiment every year trying to match it.

Who was the first person you ever kissed?

Ack!  Bad memory time!  Eddie from the roller skating rink.  :X

What were you like in high school?

Weird.  :-)  Straight A's, got out at 16 for college, in the anti-war protest (Vietnam), hippie type crowd.

What was your first job?

First real job was at a summer resort greasy fried foods roadside snack bar.  I lasted two weeks.  First real job that lasted was working for the University Police Department at the college I attended.

Favorite place to travel to?

My favorite place that I do travel to is right near me -- New York City.  Where I'd like to go but have never been is a whole different story.

Who knows you better than anyone else?

Me

Do you watch scary movies? Which is your favorite?

Yes.  My all time favorite is the original Alfred Hitchcock directed 'Psycho.'

Are you an optimist or cynic?

Repressed optimist.  Or a cynic.  <grin>
