Because it's Sunday

Via [livejournal.com profile] kradical, a meme:



WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUIJA BOARDS? We sell them, but are careful about who we sell them to. Very few people know how to use them correctly, though they can actually be informative when used properly.


YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOWS? At the moment, all I make the effort to watch are Who, Life on Mars and (when it's on) Coast.


WHAT’S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? It is from Boylesports bookmakers. Came free at a race track.

FAVORITE BOARD GAME: Don't do 'em.

FAVORITE MAGAZINE: A tie between Vogue and the Fortean Times.

FAVORITE SMELLS: rose gardens, herb gardens, coffee, bacon. Not all together, though,

WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: knowing the person you love most has cancer. Knowing that someone isn't going to make it.

BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: a positive (in the good sense) oncology report.

FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK: er..

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING: "think"?

ROLLER COASTER - SCARY OR EXCITING? more kind of 'why did I do that?'

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Uusually when it's gone onto answerphone, since I can never find it.

FUTURE DAUGHTER’S NAME: What future daughter?

FUTURE SON’S NAME: See above, although I wouldn't rule out falling for an Irish cat-person and having a litter.

FAVORITE FOODS: depends on mood and season. Too many to list, really.

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Is this some kind of weird fetish question?

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? Yes.

DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? Not unless you count Six Dinner Sid.

STORMS - COOL OR SCARY? Interesting.

WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR: I can't remember! You can tell I'm not a man, can't you? I think it was blue.

IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE - WHO WOULD IT BE? I should like to meet Erasmus.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: red wine, single malt.

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Pisces

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE POET? W B Yeats, Ivor Gurney.

DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Indeed, yes, and I am of the opinion that early purple sprouting is on a par with asparagus.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE? The ones I've got.

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I do have it dyed a very dark red, to cover up the results of years of hard living.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Have been and am.

WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Bookshelves. Various paintings, including one of my mother's.


IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Half full. I'm pretty optimistic most of the time.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE? No idea!

FAVORITE MOVIE(S): Blade Runner, Withnail and I, numerous others.

ARE YOU A LEFTY, RIGHTY, OR AMBIDEXTROUS? Right handed.

DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE PROPER KEYS? No.

WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED? More bed.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? 3, 7 and 9.

FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: Horse racing (the only sport I watch).

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: No one sent it to me, although Keith de C is always a pleasure to talk to.

PERSON YOU SENT THIS TO WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND: I won't inflict these on others.

PERSON YOU SENT THIS TO LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND: see above.

FAVORITE QUOTE: I can never think of quotes when asked...

Does Barry do this?

You give cat a plate of food. Cat immediately demands more. I am reluctant to test just how much he might eat if continually indulged. He might explode. It's like feeding a dog.

Yup, Barry does exactly that. Which is why poor Barry is Always Hungry, poor pathetic creature that he is: because I have to keep him on strict rations, or he would swell and be vast and encompass the entire house. Or, as you say, burst. He doesn't seem to have an off-switch... (I harbour a secret theory that it's because he got into trouble on the streets and was pretty much dead from starvation when they found him, and so now he seizes every possible chance to eat - everything I give him, everything he can steal - because he daren't let an opportunity pass, just in case. On the other hand, I do know how stupidly anthropomorphic it is to psychoanalyse a cat. That's why the theory's secret.)

I have a similar theory about Sid who, as you know, was a stray before the good graces of Fjm.

[livejournal.com profile] maeve_the_red was most amused to enter our kitchen yesterday and find Sid scraping pathetically at the fridge door. ("I'm fading away!!!")

Lulu the turkitty (That's a kitty perpetually stuffed with turkey) makes chirping noises and has whole diatribes on tap when she wants turkey. Which is always. That's bad enough, but then she chirps her theme song--"I'm staaaaaarrrrrrrrrrviiiiiiiinnnnnnnnng!"--begging for -more- turkey *while the little minx is still ingesting the previous serving!*

Good Lord, she's worse than the Government!

'The cat that ate the universe.'

Sid, meanwhile, has helped me this afternoon by sending a large pile of books onto the floor, and then taking up residence in the washing basket.
