Belly, I catch leprechaun in the hood every halloween. Isn't Ice T in it?
TPBM can't wait to watch the new season of Arrested Development.

@ Belly re: lucid dreaming. Oddly enough, I don't have much. A long time ago I kept an ink & paper dream journal when I was actively practicing lucid dreaming.
I just checked, and I do have two lucid dreaming posts linked to fushigis. See Guy's Lucid Blogs. I haven't looked for it in the blogosphere. There are books. The one I like is very old, but I think stands the test of time and has exercises that really work. It is Lucid Dreaming - The Power of Being Awake & Aware in Your Dreams by Stephen LaBerge.
TPBM will wake up inside their dream tonight and ask everyone they meet if this is a dream.
hmmm, hopefully, if that happens, it'll be interesting and I'll tell you all about it.
TPBM has an exciting/interesting event to attend on Saturday.

Nope. Saturday looks to be nice and boring.
TPBM likes the look and feel of bowler hats.
No, I'm a very plain person. I like putting embellishments on things like hats or bags or creating accessories (bracelets, etc) but I never use them, I give them away.
Really? I think I'll try that 'trick' tonight.
TPBM likes hiking.

I would be worried if your kids didn't ask questions.(and they should never stop asking them!)
And yes, I'm nocturnal because it's my only escape from the constant questioning, :)
TPBM has some fun activities planned for this weekend?
It's good, if you're a fan of DC Comics.
Kids, they ask questions, one after the other :)
Husband usually plans for the weekend, I have no idea what he's up to.

I have never sat in the front row. I could imagine there are no advantages to that one unless I want to see distorted images and lose the ability to move my neck afterwards.
TPBM might see a movie in the theaters this week/next week.
Sorry I forgot to say something after lol
I'm not sure if we're going to watch a movie anytime soon.
TPBM is craving for a pizza now.

TPBM reads for more for escape than for insight into the human condition.
No, reading has never been a form of escape for me. To have more insight of human condition? Probably but it depends on the book I'm reading.

TPBM isn’t finding Leslie very easy to type, and wonders which she naturally finds more draining, having to socialize late into the night at parties, or too much solitude.
Should I answer this? Lol!
I'm not complicated (I'm not sure if that's what you mean). I don't find socializing draining, not with the company of friends but I don't do that often since most of them have flown to other parts of the world. I don't prefer 'too much' solitude. (I'm explaining too much again harhar)
TPBM is interested in studying human behavior.

TPBM has read H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Shuttered Room.” (Apparently, it was actually written by August Derleth, but nobody’s ever heard of him.)

TPBM is very good at memorizing poems, but then forgetting them a few weeks later.

No, for done reason I can't remember lyrics to well, but I can mouth of a wicked guitar solo.
TPBM is off work today and is headed to the beach!
@ zack - for a toy collector, once you take a toy out of the box, it loses its value. It's for trading purposes, I think.
I got to memorize only one poem by Joyce Kilmer - Trees, because I used to see it everyday along the highway.
I'm not headed for the beach :)
TPBM prefers a dog for a pet than a fish.
