TPBM is hoping to finish reading Game of Thrones (5 books) before the year ends.
No, I am toying with the idea of starting book one because the TV series has been so good. But I am afraid of the commitment. So many books, so little time.TPBM has recently realized that s/he will die before having read all the books that s/he wants to read.
No, I haven't.
TPBM had not, even once, thought of being a cop.
TPBM had not, even once, thought of being a cop.
True. This has always struck me as a hard and isolating job, seeing the worst of people with very limited ability to help beyond immediate needs.TPBM thinks that reading trashy novels is important to do once in a while to keep one aware of good and bad writing.
I end up reading too many trashy novels because there aren't enough beautiful ones in the world, but yes. True.TPBM has 28 darned mosquito bites on their left leg and 24 on their right. {Why, cruel world?!}
(That’s funny! “Why, cruel world?!”) No. I’m a living antique. I wear long pants.TPBM likes the pre-dawn hours, when everything is quiet except for the hooting of an owl and the howling of coyotes.
I do, although I rarely hear an howl and never hear coyotes. Robins, gulls, and automatic lawn sprinklers are the noises of the dawn. And, of course, the slow build up of commuter traffic in the near distance.TPBM finds that the day moves more effectively when s/he takes the time to relax for five or ten minutes before rushing to get the day's tasks started.
Yes, though I had a harrowing moment this morning, when I thought I had run out of spray starch.TPBM has the same thing for breakfast every morning.
On weekdays, yes. Toaster waffles and peach yogurt. And a granola bar as I race out the door.TPBM had a mud bath today.
Nope. And I can't say that I have ever done that.TPBM wishes that movies nowadays had more entertaining elements like plot, character development, and clever ways of handling all of it.
Not really. I watch a lot of independent movies, and have discovered that cable tv has taken over that function with admirable success.TPBM would be surprised at the quality of the writing to be found in non-network TV.
Probably, but I'm not making any promises.TPBM has a large stash of illegal fireworks waiting to be ignited.
I don't have.
TPBM has tried pancakes with banana and cheese.

Yes. My favorites are Almond and Choco-Cappuccino.

LOL! Well, several weeks ago.TPBM is making BLT's and the bacon is smelling divine.
Mm... no, but now I'm fantasizing about one. XDTPBM is frustrated with themselves.
LOL! Yes, as a matter of fact. I'l like to be a little taller than I am, thinner than I am, smarter than I am, sweeter smelling than I am, and less indebted to the banks than I am! LOL! It would seem that less is not more. LOL!TPBM is surprised to have discovered that they enjoy chatting on line.
Yes. I used to think it would be highly frustrating, but here at least I am enjoying it very much.TPBM knows the true meaning of the song "Puff the magic dragon"?
Yes, probably. Lol.And I haven't tried Magnum ice cream bars myself. I thought only Rachel Bilson was allowed to eat them. :P !!!
TPBM knows that the song "Smoke on the Water" is not about what many people claim that it is!
It isn’t about a shrimp boat that caught on fire?TPBM remembers Patti Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade.”
No.TPBM likes watching cooking shows.
Yes, specially if Gordan Ramsey is involved.TPBM watches Family Guy?
No, which is odd because I find myself wanting to but just not getting to it.TPBM is excited to have given themselves a new creative project that isn't just writing.
Yes. I’m going to use hypnosis to cure myself of writing.TPBM is finding the morning a little too relaxing.
NoTPBM finds scrambled eggs with spinach is surprisingly good?
Yes, because I'm not a fan of spinach on its own. With stuff it is yummy.TPBM has made their own eggs benny from scratch.
Hmm. No I don't think I have. I also think scrambled eggs with spinach is surprisingly good though. I had it at a diner a few years ago and I still think about it.
TPBM likes to go to a diner for breakfast.
You know, I don't know if I ever have...TPBM can actually click their heels without hitting a nerve bunch and falling over?
Yes. I am so sure I can! Watch. (Almost clicking heels) See? WAAAAAHH! (Crashes into boxes).TPBM has or has seen someone with double-jointed thumbs!
Yes I have, and immediately wished I could be as flexible.TPBM has been to waffle house at 3 am, and regrets nothing from the experience.
Well, the cook forgot to turn on the waffle iron, and I spilled waffle dough on my pajamas. Other than that, it was fine. I think I remember having enjoyed the coffee.TPBM has sat in a one room cabin, miles from anyone else, with an ancient placer miner listening to the hiss of kerosene lamps and the buzz of mosquitos and the sounds of cribbage being played.
No. I’m not much on sightseeing.TPBM has laundry to do and errands to run.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pet whatsoever. Except for my 2-ton dragon, but I don't think that counts.TPBM likes to look at pretty things.
I know several people who wish they were vampires.TPBM watches entirely too much TV.
That is somewhat true though I watch less television now than I used to. I only watch select shows and then off goes the boob-tube!I had a fun day so far. It was hilarious being with church members and noticing how their kids were so funny without even realizing it (seriously, I could put the stuff they said on two "Humor" posts alone!).
TPBM had a good day.
Yes. It took so much effort to avoid my chores, I feel as though I got a lot done.TPBM could use an afternoon nap.
