More May Question-A-Day Memage (kudos to the individual who comes up with these questions, I tried it once, and sigh, it did not end well.)
20. Own up – do you have a drawer in your home with stuff you don’t know what to do with, or shove things that you’ll ‘sort out later’ in it? How often do you clear it out?
Yes. Sigh. (I can't remember if I answered this question previously?) And more than one. I'm extremely good at building nests and shoving stuff in drawers. Organized - I'm not. I'm a quirky absent-minded artist. Organization? What's that?
My brother once said he thought I should have become a librarian.
My mother and I both laughed at this. I do not think like a librarian - the only things we have in common is a fondness for books.
21. How would you describe the décor in your main living area?
Cluttered? Artsy? I have wooden Russian Dolls on the tv stand, candles in the window sill - one is a carved owl, self-made pottery, a flower under a glass, cards, a chocolate bunny rabbit, and a glass globe venus universe lamp that's very small. Also a picture of my niece. Then there's my painting station, which has a minuature easel on my desk, with watercolors, a completed painting, a stuffed frog on top of a paper holder with a magazine picture of Cillian Murphy from GQ, above which are two photos of sunflowers, next to that a small felt cube with paints and paper on top of it, and a bookcase overflowing with books, an hand woven basket, a ceramic Christmas tree, and on top of it a large photo on canvas of a sunset. I have knitted throws, and a large television (flat screen) ....it's obvious I'm an artist. Someone comes into this apartment - they'll think artist and writer.
22. Have you ever lived or worked in a skyscraper or high-rise building? Which floor?
I currently work in a skyscraper - on the 18th Floor of a 32 floor skyscraper in the Financial District of Manhattan. I also currently live on the third floor of a 77 unit apartment building, that is six stories.
So yes?
23. Have you ever tried non-alcoholic beer or wine?
Yes. It's not worth the indigestion.
24. Have you ever had a pedicure?
Many times. Highly overrated. And expensive. Not a fan. I don't like the feel of nail polish, also I end up with toe fungus. When I stopped doing that, the toe fungus went away.
25. Are you a fan of popcorn at the movies?
Yes and no? I wouldn't say fan exactly. I do like getting it however.
26. Today the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling event will take place to celebrate the UK Spring Bank Holiday. A 7-9lb (3-4kg) round Double Gloucester cheese will be rolled down a hill until someone catches it (you can see a video of the spectacle
here). Are there any Spring Festival Events in your area?
I live in NYC. I'm sure there are? But I lose track. Nothing like that.
I know they are having a Met Opening Festival next weekend, which may count. Also there's the Macy's annual flower show. And the Cherry Blossoms at the Botanical Gardens.
27. Do you like lettuce? Any particular variety?
Yes, but I'm picky. I like power greens: Chard, Spinach, Kale, Pea Greens,
Baby Spinach, Argula, and Romaine.
I will not eat iceburg - it's like glass on my tummy. That's the cheap stuff.

My pictures via FB links are disappearing faster than usual. I may need to figure out Pillowfort or find an alternative soon. Damn FB.

I was bored and frustrated this morning at work - so I distracted myself by listening to youtube actor Q&A podcasts on my cell phone.
I listened to David Boreanze - who is kind of boring? But he did say a few interesting things.
( Read more... )Also another Marsters Q&A. Marsters is far more entertaining and open with the audience. He genuinely enjoys interacting with the fans and the interviewers. He's an entertainer, and just loves being on stage and connecting with an audience. The man is so expressive - he's fun to watch and listen to.
( Read more... )Time for bed.
So here's a picture:
