readymade

You know I'm only posting this 'cause it's already written and I don't have to work on it any more (apart from a bit of formatting). I'm bad at having a blog, y'all.

IT'S THE SURVEY, DUH.

What was your favorite Christmas present?

i am bad at remembering gifts, and the things that i like the most are often things i have bought for myself and then put under the tree for later. is that horrible? it's kind of horrible, isn't it? that's why christmas isn't about presents for me. it's about food and family and friends and feeling that warm christmas feeling. and celebrating the light coming back, be it ever so slowly. those long winter nights are SO LONG.

Twothousandeleven or Twenty Eleven or...?

What do you want from Hank and Katherine?

love and to exercise more. ;)

What have you been up to for the last year?

more of the same, with a new dog, and some extra pet nannying thrown into the mix. lemon came to live with us at the end of february and we worked on getting her healthy and happy for a good six months or more after that. going to weddings and traveling to visit family and having family visit us here and living the strange life of the wife of an internetainerteur which is a word i just made up. decorating our house some. i also started doing pilates regularly, which has been very excellent.

How much longer will you be doing what you're doing?

as long as we can justify living in missoula and doing it.

Why are you doing it?

you got any better ideas? i'm open to suggestions - seriously, anyone have any ideas of what i should be doing with myself?

What do you want to be doing?

raising five kitties and baking and singing backup for brandi carlile or something

When was the last time you screamed?

probably playing video games with Hank (have you seen us? youtube.com/hankgames), or while watching the daily show. politicians and pundits make me ANGEREY

Lamest super power:

uhhhh... the ability to smell like a dog fart whenever you want - if we're talking about ones i'm just making up at the top of my head. otherwise, cyclops' power is pretty lame.

What do you want us to do with your body when you die?

hoo boy do i not care. i want you to do whatever will make you feel best with it. no sex though please. you know what i mean.

3D movies are here to stay. How does this make you feel?

it makes my eyeballs ache. but not for very much longer: 2D-GLASSES ARE HERE!

Am I crazy, or is the world more screwed up than it was in 2009?

i have no idea, because i don't pay attention to the news anymore because it makes me want to kill myself a little. though i have been watching the daily show since it came back on hulu.

In this space, write your own question and answer it (but don't delete the directions, otherwise, everyone gets confused.)

Book or Television show recommendations:

books: these are all lady-type books (heavy romantic themes, etc.): howl's moving castle by diana wynne jones (seriously if you haven't read it, it's so fun), anna and the french kiss, major pettigrew's last stand (helen simonson), the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society. also the graveyard book by neil gaiman and nation by terry pratchett.

televisions: i really like community (with joel mchale and chevy chase). really quirky characters and funny situations. psych is also very funny. wipeout is probably my favorite reality/game show (apart from who's line is it anyway, but that's not on tv anymore BUT THERE IS A NEW IMPROV SHOW WITH DREW CAREY STARTING ON GSN AND I AM EXCITED EXCEPT I DON'T HAVE TV SO I WILL NEVER SEE IT WAAAAHHHH).

Which country would you most like to see naked?

i just read this as "which century" and i was really excited. i have a hard time with this question, given my puritanical upbringing. therefore, i choose to interpret it as "which country would i most like to see DEVOID of people and their accoutrements, and minus any nasty things that have been done to it by them" and the answer to that is vietnam.

What was your favorite toy as a child? Where is it now?

i had a favorite stuffed raccoon/bear toy named rocky. i don't remember where he came from - some carnival? and i'm sure he's now in a landfill somewhere. :( i also had like a million little ceramic animals that i really enjoyed playing with. i still have those in a box in my closet.

Would you rather your life be simpler or more interesting? Do you think you can have both?

yes, yes.

Favorite Karaoke Song?

i have to choose ONE? so much depends on my mood and the setting/occasion, you know? i'll sing anything.

Are you totally freaked out by North Korea?

No but I feel very very sorry for it's people.

Should J.K. Rowling write more Harry Potter books?

i think she should write more books from the harry potter universe, but i think harry potter's story is finished. and i'm ok with that

Finish the sentence: "Murder is OK if...."

it is fictional and being solved by hercule poirot or another agatha christie hero/ine.

What's the best idea you've ever had?

marrying me some Hank. ha HAH! close second, fostering (and then adopting) Cameo. who has the bestest kitty? I DO.

What's the most important thing that happened to you this year?

i guess getting Lemon was pretty important. it was certainly significant.

What's wrong with the world?

i'm tired of this being the last question. such a DOWNER. but a big problem is this global economy we've mixed with provincial ideals. problems galore.
