2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can, what do you find?
A big long list of things I should be doing instead of this stupid meme.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Sportscenter. But only because I only did 30 minutes on the machine this morning, and I'd hate to only see half an episode of Charmed. I'd be wondering how it resolved all day at work and that would cut into my productivity...

4:44 PM
5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?

My dad refusing to bid on Sawx tickets at a charity auction. That was weird. And disappointing.
14. What do you think of this quiz?
Resistance is futile, I will be assimilated

For the first time? Walk the Line. Most recently? Traffic
16. If you turned into a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
Beer, Red Sox tickets (not giving any to my dad of course), a new computer. And a pony.

I'm six-foot-one and I'm tons of fun and I dress to a T.
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt and politics, what would you do?
Damnit, I should have saved the Pony for this one.
19. Do you like to Dance?
My arms have rhythm. My legs have rhythm. They aren't the same rhythm which makes dancing something of a hazzard. Relatedly, one of my co-workers had a birthday recently, and his party was a Dance Dance Revolution tournament.
20. George Bush.
Will Ferrell in Old School.

25. 4 people who must also do this theme in their journal. XWL in the spirit of bipartisanship; PJ in revenge for his vicious Pooh-baiting; anybody at LL&PN because their answers will be funny; RIA, because she seems in need of something lighter.

I did it, reluctantly, and titled the post Screw You Pooh.
(because I kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid)
Going with honesty/first thing that pops into my head over concerted effort at humor. Here goes...
1. Damn. If you put this up yesterday, I would have grabbed Jonathan Letham's "Fortress of Solitude" it's been on my desk waiting to go back to the library for a week*... Now I have to go with "The Graphic Artist's Guild: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines"—
"derivitive work, though not the making of new" Copyright law...mmm.
2. To my left is the open room, the next closest thing is the treadmill. And, no, I did NOT do 30 minutes today or any time in the last two months...
3. Tivo'd "Colbert Report"
4. 9:40
5. 9:27
6. Furnace
7. Walking the dog about two hours ago.
8. I was in the comment thread where you tagged Otto.
9. I own three suits, only two of which I would ever wear. They are both Joseph Abboud. I absolutely LOVE my brown suit. Yup. Brown.
Now? Jeans and a hooded (hood down) CLEMSON sweatshirt.
10. I'm not really remembering my dreams these days, but last night it was probably about painting the bathroom, since it's all I did for two days...
11. Tickling my daughter makes me laugh almost as hard. About an hour and a half ago.
12. A poster of a giant Carl Yastrzemski baseball card, pictures of my daughter, a big framed photo of the Brooklyn Bridge.
13. Weird, eh? Nothing comes to mind. Does that count as weird?
14. I kind of like these usually, but I'm beginning to wonder how long this one is...
15. Rented "X2" and "L4yer Cake" this weekend (wife was away). Last in the theater—"Family Stone"
16. A Senate Seat?
A new car, but mostly because I need one. This for my daughter, and anything my wife wants from here.
And some Red Sox tickets. I'd follow them on a road trip or two...
17. I am pretty much a slob.
18. Um, eliminate religion?
19. Nope. But that's because I can't and I am REALLY self-conscious about it. I'm pretty sure even my multi-millions won't cure it either.
20. He was the first answer for 18.
21. No imagination necessary. Her name is Ruby, but we also call her Bixie and The Bix, both of which derive from Rubik's...
22. Starting left-fielder for the Boston Red Sox...
23. Yeah...but i fear my brain is too addled to learn a new language.
24. "So, you didn't believe in me, eh? Well, that's cool by me—most of the people who do are jackasses anyway, if you ask me. Come on in..."
25. Well, I would have tagged you and the boys at LL&PN... I'll go with John Cole (though he'll never do it) and orf, because we all miss her, and would like to hear from her.
* [sheepish confession] I returned the book unread.
Pops, if there was a shorter word than yes...but yeah, you seem to have grasped the key bits...
