TPBM
I am not sick but i really need to do alot of things.TPBM wants to go to a pizzeria.
Yes! Always.TPBM has to force themselves to eat salad?
No! What a funny idea!TPBM thinks that Greek salad is just about the best tasting salad ever.
And the Chef's salad is delicious too. There are plenty others I enjoy as well.TPBM loves sweet potato fries!
At best like, but only for three of four.TPBM thinks that gravy on fries is totally weird.
Yes.TPBM is reading Agenda 21 by Glenn Beck.
No sorry, still reading the books I got for Christmas.TPBM knows how many cars they have owned, if any?
Yes. The ginormous number 3.TPBM actually read his/her car's owner's manual once s/he got the car home from the lot.
No. I read the owner’s manual as a last resort.TPBM has never wrecked a car.
True. I've had just one minor fender bender.TPBM enjoys the music of Alison Krauss with Union Station.
Sounds like you are referring to my life. Which means no story so far. As to Krauss, my new co-worker has lent me his CD Alison Krauss & Union Station: Paper Airplanes. I'd never really listened to either before. Good, but did not rock my world; although 'Dustbowl Children' by Union Station was a notch above the rest of the album so far.Of course, you will be posting it!
TPBM loves the sound track from the movie Paris, Texas.
Yes, but now my head is starting to flop forward, and my typos are getting harder and harder to prevent and/or see.TPBM had started writing a poem for this week's Stuffage.
Hopefully that will not happen anytime soon. I am still awake, no sleepy time near the computer for me.TPBM loves mornings though doesn't have the commitment to get up to see them.
In one of the early Buffy episodes, the beginning of Alison Krauss’s “It Doesn’t Matter” plays as background music. It’s the only thing by Krauss that I’m familiar with, but I really like it.
M, you often times you have the most eclectic of trivia.I've been up since 5am, and so am enjoying the darkness of the early morning, and, if one happens that isn't hidden by clouds of rain, will enjoy a colourful sunrise behind mountains. But it is raining.
TPBM finished reading a boring book over the weekend.
Yes, Usually I don't bother but a relative got it for me with love.TPBM would jump off a cliff for a klondike bar?
Nah, but I would like a klondike bar right now.TPBM's house smells like stinky feet because of bad bacon. Yuck.
How does one have bad bacon? Did you burn it?! 'Cause that is a capital offense.TPBM forgot about valentines day?
Nope; I got a flower from my dad. The bacon stayed uncooked in the fridge for too long.TPBM has a sore throat.
No, my throat is fine. Sore back, sore shoulder, ache in my right foot, and heavy eyelids, so all systems go.TPBMstarted three new pojects but didn't finish any of them because of the new and exciting fourth.
Yes, and that was a long time ago! I’ve lost count of my unfinished projects.TPBM is excited by the possibilities inherent in a new project but is quickly bored by seeing a project through to completion.
Yes, to a greater extent than my ego would like me to admit. But then I feel its incompleteness hanging over me like a black cloud, and eventually get it done. Well, most of the time. Maybe. Can I actually finish this post? Hmmmm. I can always come back to it, I guess. Maybe.TPBM takes pride in having successfully started as many projects as s/he has done as a mark of true creativity.
A mark of true something. I’d rather not give it a name.TPBM easily memorizes facts and figures.
No, I am better at generalizations or results of what the facts and figures may or may not infer, imply, state or conclude.TPBM finds generalizations to be, in general, a waste of time.
For me, it depends on the source and the context. As with specifics, generalizations can be helpful or misleading.TPBM finds that a life of the mind can sometimes make one reluctant to attend to routine chores.
Routine chores help me think, 'cause I don't have to pay attention while I'm doing them.What would TPBM do for a Klondike bar?
Beg. Yup, I would definitely beg.TPBM's brother is coming home tomorrow!
TPBM thinks interesting conversation goes good with coffee.
He does indeed. Sadly, good coffee can frequently be lessened by less than interesting conversation.TPBM finds that a good coffee is enhanced with a good piece of pastry, such as a properly made chocolate croissant.
To be sure.TPBM like caramel in their coffee?
No. I drink a mocha occasionally, if it’s very strong, but I’m not much on sweet coffee. I have a boss who just loves caramel macchiatos, though!TPBM doesn’t wear a watch.
My old job involved wearing a watch I purchased and to this day I wear it sometimes but not all the time. So I will say "yes and no."TPBM thinks the person above them (Me) took a long time to say nothing.
Lol. It did take a while to get a response.TPBM just finished reading Shattered Souls. It was amazing!
Always! Lol.TPBM hopes some awesome movies come out during this year.
I have become indifferent to that kind of expectation. Undoubtedly there will be some, but most often they are stumbled on by accident and are rarely the big and overhyped blockbusters.TPBM is enjoying a late night sip of coffee before going to bed.
Already did. I drank some around 8:00 PM and that is too late for me though I love to take the opportunity when I have the chance. :)TPBM knows that within the huge amount of bad movies there are some hidden gems that are worth watching!
Yes, though I've yet to find the buried treasure.TPBM is amazed by the ability of the human mind to procrastinate.
I would if I hadn't put off thinking about it.TPBM is amazed at how interconnected and small the world of synchronicity is.
never really thought about it....TPBM likes the color purple
The movie was okay, but I didn't like the book much.TPBM loves Trois couleurs: Rouge with Irène Jacob.
I suppose I might if I had ever seen, or ate, it?TPBM can count how many times they've been to the doctor?
Yes.TPBM can count the number of times they've been to an acupuncturist.
Yes, I'm shaking my head at Guy XDTPBM is watching the newest episode of Supernatural :D
No. And now I'm shaking my head at the person above me.TPBM can count the times on one hand or less that they've watched Buffy the series.
Yes. 0. Should be one sometime soon though.TPBM thinks Guy should stop doing: "TPBM can count the times......." XD
LoL! No, quite frankly I don't think that at all. (0 for me too.)TPBM is counting on the power of the word 'should' to stop Guy from using the word 'counting' in the next TPBM he writes.
Hoping for it, but starting to realize it's not gonna happen XDTPBM edits their posts but doesn't delete them.
The only thing better than editing a post is deleting it entirely.TPBM would rather have an interesting day than a productive one.
