I wish. I was watching a TV show on DVD if that counts. . .TPBM is wishing he/she had a better sleep schedule.
Nope, mine's good.TPBM loves animated movies?
“I liked Lady and the Tramp.”TPBM likes sugar and cream in her coffee.
That reminds me of the joke about the magician who forgot to wash his hare, and he couldn’t do a thing with it.TPBM plans to do a lot writing today.
nope.. just reading.. although i do plan to write some stuff tomorrow (during office breaks)TPBM is surfing goodreads in between reading a book...
Yes. Early in the morning, on a trail through the woods, I saw a rabbit that was as big as my sister’s terrier. I hadn’t known they got that big.TPBM loves writing term papers.
That is. . . . . hmm. Probably true. :PTPBM is going to work in a little while.
Nope, just finished a chunk of particularly delicious Easter ham.TPBM had a dream with Robin Williams in it.
I below don’t cravea burrito but spicy
Chicken Venito.
TPBM likes Italian food.
Guy eats real food! I’ve been snacking on nachos.TPBM has heard Dean Martin’s “Non Dimenticar.”
Oh, thanks! Am I that boring? (Don’t answer that.)TPBM likes to watch fireflies.
Good night, Al! I’ve been waiting for it to get dark so I can go to bed. Blast Daylight Savings Time.TPBM thinks owls are beautiful and mysterious.
By 'frog' you mean frog legs?No, but my father did when he was stationed in France briefly.
TPBM has tried the asian fruit Durian and liked it. (LoL - liking it is just about impossible!)
None whatsoever. And that after surviving my father's try a cooking salmon roe in Quesnel, which hundreds of miles up river, and so by the time the salmon get there they are mangy! Yuck!
But now some of my favourite food is sushi with the tiny little roe which pop so delightfully between the teeth and on the tongue! Yikes, is it too late to get some sushi take-away?!
TPBM has dreamt that they were swimming with fish without SCUBA gear.
Nope. Haven't tried. I am not brave enough to try it. . . I want to though. Sushi sounds good.TPBM would like to share his/her other hobbies on here that do NOT involve writing. . .
Hmmmm.In a way I already do. I chat about C.G. Jung and have done a couple of dream analyses. Also, yammer on about economics.
TPBM has never heard of Carl Jung before.
Not me. I joined the W.S.S. because it’s a writing group.TPBM knows the difference between a strong adverb and a weak one.
Eehhhh. . . no. Teach me if you feel like it.TPBM likes to read Fitzgerald, Salinger, or Steinbeck under a nice light. :P idk.
The only thing I’ve read by Scott Fitzgerald, other than some of his letters to his daughter when she was in college, is “Babylon Revisited.” I thought it was excellent!TPBM would rather write a story than ride a rollercoaster.
I didn’t see Guy’s #1330. It seems I’ve heard of Carl Jung. Wasn’t he Marcus Welby’s father?What’s couscous?
TPBM found James Cameron’s Titanic stupidly sentimental and was disappointed that the main characters didn’t go down with the ship.
I like couscous. I'd be hankering for some.I did like Titanic once one accepts it as an overtly cheesy VERY fictionalized pic (the only facts are the characters in the background. . .). I like it as an epic film not a totally historical piece with some fiction.
I HATED that the character would shoot the other guy while the ship was going down. Idiot. . . there are more difficult things going on. . . why are you concerned so much of THIS guy when you could just end up an icecube.
I love and somewhat dislike it.
TPBM would like to try some hummus (flavored with red roasted pepper!).
Al wrote: "Lol Titanic is one of my favorite movies. Couscous is pretty good. It is like rice but more bready. You can make it a lot of ways too.Tpbm has seen Dangerous Beauty and was totally grossed out."
Oooh. Sorry Al. I didn't realize you answered the question and I answered the wrong one. I did not see Dangerous Beauty. . . I am glad I didn't probably.
Oh and I WAS having a headache (was hyper and drinking coffee. . . I am trying to calm down now!)
TPBM is DYING to tell the ideas of his/her newest story/poem on this site!
No, I'm tired to simply telling ideas. I want time to actually write.TPBM has realized that this thread has gotten very long.
No, I drew a blank but was ready for a week off.TPBM would rather go a Renaissance fair in costume than in ordinary clothes.
Yes. The weather here has been beautiful! I spent most of yesterday working in the yard. I may work on the Moorfields story this week. I have a long way to go on that. I said to Jane, “You should write a story for the W.S.S.!” I told her the week’s topic is “cadaver.” I’ve heard that the anatomy lab at the medical school in Galveston is (or was) something left over from the nineteenth century.TPBM never waits till the last minute to write assigned papers.
Wow. Nope. I would have died from blood pressure problems lol. I had about two cups yesterday and realized I had to lay off it and calm down! Lol.TPBM wants to say the name of their new story/poem!
No. I like it when it’s cold and there’s no yard work.TPBM thinks the W.S.S. should have a limerick thread.
Nope. Not in school lately. Wish I was though. I want to go to Community college SO BAD!TPBM has writing as one of TWO jobs!

TPBM is wondering how you get writer's block on three books at once."
Wow. That sounds really awesome! Just to tell you Al I keep looking at the "What's in My Closet?" feature and all I can think of is. . . The BoogeyMan Short story by Stephen King. That was scary!
Just felt like sharing that! lol.
