Phineas and Ferb is my favorite now.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was your favorite cartoon as a kid? Do you have a favorite cartoon now?"spongebob was my favorite as a kid and it's probably still my favorite now but i don't really watch cartoons anymore

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was your favorite cartoon as a kid? Do you have a favorite cartoon now?"The Flintstones
No favorite cartoon now. I don't even know what they have for cartoons now.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What five things could you not live without?"The existence of dogs, phone (yikes), blankets, food, and water lol. I can't think of two others other than the obvious.
All I can think of is the obvious: food, water, air.....a beating heart.Of course, I would go crazy without the internet. But, I would adjust.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?"It varies. At the moment it is chocolate chip.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?"Mint chocolate chip or a chocolate brownie ice cream. I'm not super picky as long it doesn't have fruit in it.
QOTD: Outside of the standard/stock apps, if you could only have one app on your phone, what would it be?
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Outside of the standard/stock apps, if you could only have one app on your phone, what would it be?"Probably TikTok, it's too entertaining to live without for me.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Outside of the standard/stock apps, if you could only have one app on your phone, what would it be?"I guess IG, but I feel like I could also go without that lately.
LCPL wrote: "What was the BEST vacation you ever took?"I haven't taken any actual vacations. I usually stay home for a week or go somewhere for a day. I didn't even go on any as a kid, I don't think.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is one food that you could not live without?"Pasta. So many different kinds, and you can make pasta in so many different ways. It never sounds bad.

I finished three in June. My favorite was Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, and my least favorite was The Late Americans by Brandon Taylor.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: How many books did you read in June? What was your favorite and least favorite?"I read 18 books in June.
My favorite was I, Tina by Tina Turner (R.I.P.) A reread that I enjoyed just as much the second time around.
My least favorite was Survive the Night by Riley Sager. I have read 4 other books by this author that I thoroughly enjoyed. But this book was a dud.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: How many books did you read in June? What was your favorite and least favorite?"I finished two, in order of favorite-
Capturing the Devil
Master and Apprentice
I loved both of them, so it's a loose ranking. I'd be proud to have either of them in my collection.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: If you could bring one extinct species back to life, which one would you choose and why?"the great auk because i love flightless birds. it's always sad when they go extinct or get classified as endangered (which happens a lot)
I was going to say a wooly mammoth because I think they're so cute. But to add another extinct species to the list for some variety, I'd also love to bring back Steller's Sea Cow. They look like a manatee and I think they're adorable.
QOTD: Describe your perfect book - list the components of a book that make it a favorite/5-star read. If you have recommendations for anyone based on their descriptions, please share.
