| Wow, it's been a while. Good ol' xanga. How's life?
The brainchild of Amy Carter. Enjoy!
1. If you could be any TV character, who would it be?
Most television characters come with problems I wouldn't want. I think
I'll go a few years back and say Phoebe Buffay from Friends. She's
strange like me.
2. What single technological advancement scares you the most?
The use of microchips in pets because it's only a matter of time before
we use the technology to track people. Big brother is watching.
3. What's your favorite line in the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" theme song?
"Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool."
4. Would you be a model or a movie star, if you must choose?
Despite my soft spot for ANTM I would choose to be a movie star, though I wouldn't live in L.A.
5. Say you're playing a sport and your enemy is an opponent. What sport
would you like to be playing so that you could do the most damage to
him/her in the name of "competition"?
I know nothing about it but Rugby seems to be a brutal sport so that
would work. It's far fetched though, I don't play sports and 90% of the
population could do more damage to me than I could them.
6. In which American era would you most like to live?
Easy, the roaring twenties.
7. Token alcohol question: What do you know about moonshining?
Very little but I have smelled genuine moonshine. I wasn't interested in taking a drink, bleh.
8. Token sex question: How do you feel about explicit lyrics on the radio?
I do have a problem with explicit lyrics during the day (when children
can easily hear) but I am all for people being able say what they want
on their albums.
9. Does it frighten you to sleep alone in your house at night?
Sometimes. More when I lived in the country than currently.
10. "The Office": Jim/Pam, or Jim/Karen, or who/who?
Jim and Pam, no question. Everyone knows it, even Karen.
11. If you were a zookeeper, would you clean out the snake cage, or are you a chicken?
I'd clean the cage. I don't mind snakes.
12. What three items -- excluding hygiene products and humans and fur coat -- would you take with you to Antarctica?
satellite phone, lotion, and a book.
13. You live in the Wild, Wild West. You're a pistol-toting Wanted
Person whose face is on a Wanted Poster that's torn around the edges.
What drove you to a life of crime?
Probably all the dust and the lack of showers, that would surely push
me over the edge. That and the local sheriff was power hungry and
created situations that made life unlivable for most locals. I sought
to right the wrongs and in the process became an enemy of the bad guys.
Call me the Robin Hood of the Wild, Wild West.
14. "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" -- Americana at its best, or stupid song that you refuse to sing at ballgames?
I think it's a catchy tune but I probably wouldn't sing it at a
ballgame. Baseball is a sport I don't like and it is beyond my
understanding why it is still the national sport. *shrug*
15. Rank this survey from 1-10 (10 being the "best ever"), giving it 5 extra points for ingenuity and fine spelling.
Do the five extra points come before or after I rate it? If I give it
an 8 and then add the extra points it would me 3 over the set limit.
But if I start with five then I can only rate the survey from 5-10.
It's just too much to handle.
16. You're writing a novel. What is your protagonist's name and occupation?
Ekaterina Sokolov, Russian spy.
17. Does it perturb you when someone borrows your belongings without asking permission?
No not usually. Unless it was someone I don't know well.
18. Who would be at your fantasy dinner?
Ben Gibbard, Anderson Cooper, Zach Braff, Wes Anderson, Chuck
Klosterman, John Stewart...I see a trend. Apparently I don't like to
eat with interesting women.
19. Only one flower is left blooming in the world, but a loved one is dying and REALLY wants a flower. Do you pick it?
No, probably not. If it's the last blooming flower on earth the
punishment for picking it would probably be extreme. I would have to
appeal to the dying loved one and explain it wasn't possible. Now if
the flower could heal them it may be a different story.
20. Do you find it to be a deterioration of the English language when
words undergo transformations like "Quick" to "Quik" and "School" to
"Skool"?
I feel that phonetic spelling as a means of communication is a giant step backward in English education.
21. Would you rather be hip or hop?
Hip.
22-23. If you were a ghost, who or what would you haunt, and in what manner?
I'd haunt something usually unheard of in ghost conversations....like a
fast food place or a new mall. I'd be a nice ghost, I suppose.
24. Rhyme: A waste of precious time, or fun that doesn't cost a dime?
Oh Amy, how I love you.
25. Surprise! Your life is a prime-time reality television show. What's it called?
Wow, You Must be Extremely Bored!---my life as a tv show wouldn't be must see tv.

| I love Ellen. I am sitting here watching the Academy Awards at nearly
2:30 am and I love Ellen. She is so cute and seemingly innocent.
Frankly, the lady makes me giggle.
Whoever wrote the line about Al Gore for Ellen's monologue makes me
giggle too....and cry a little. Oh well, spilled milk and all that.
This is the first year I've watched the Oscars having seen very few of
the nominated films. Being a huge film fan (albeit a lazy one for the
passed few months) I tried to cram for the exam by watching The
Departed last night. I also planned on watching Babel today but I just
wasn't feeling it. I did start a puzzle with my husband and watch Meerkat Manor two things I doubt will come in handy when guessing who will win tonight but I don't care. Those meerkats are too cute to pass up.
This is the first year I don't have strong favorite choices for awards
but to be honest, after watching the Departed I have to say I'm a bit
surprised that Jack Nicholson wasn't nominated for best supporting
Actor. I thought he was great in that role. Great.
I do hope Cars wins in its category and I hope An Inconvenient Truth
wins as well. I haven't yet watched the documentary but I agree with
the idea. Global warming is bad and Al Gore is good and republicans ruin enviroment related things. I think that covers the major points of the film from
what I've gathered from others who have taken the time to watch it. We
do have it, I just haven't taken the time to watch it yet and jokes
aside I do hope it wins. Films that open eyes and wake people up to
what is happening in the world by way of documentaries or fictional
stories based around true events are so very important in a time where
people surround themselves with entertainment and fuzzy things and
close themselves to the harsh reality of our world.
It may be close to 6:00 am before I get to sleep tonight but I couldn't
just not watch THE movie award of the year. Fingers crossed for Little
Miss Sunshine and all it's fuzzy feelings and awkward goodness.
Hey does anyone else get the creeps when you look at Eddie Murphy? Something about him makes me want to turn the tv
off. He seems way too full of himself to be the star of Dr. Doolittle
and The Nutty Professor. (two horrible remakes of decent originals.
shame) Anyway he's creepy to me. | | |
| The Who is coming to the island in May!!! The Who!! I get to see Pete Townshend LIVE!!! Rock Legends! I'm so very excited, AHHH!!!
Oh, also, there are new pictures on our flickr account. I think the address is posted somewhere below in a previous post.
One of my dearest, oldest friends is getting married this weekend and I don't get to go. This makes me so very sad but I know everything will be wonderful. She is marrying a great guy and I'm so happy for them. Congratulations Amy. I love you guys.

| Colin's first day in the office is tomorrow, leaving both of us excited and nervous at the same time. It sucks we won't see each other as much but this is what we left the US for so I can't really complain.
After watching a couple of episodes of Friends with Colin, (as we do every night) I left him to fall asleep on his own while I made myself dinner. Sleeping pills be damned, my body refuses to sleep at night. Anyway, here's where I learn surprising information about myself:
I walk into the kitchen at 1:48 am. I grab one large potato and peel it. This takes very little time because the Swiss peeling apparatus is new and very sharp. (Aren't new cooking tools the best??) Next I evenly cut the potato into slices perfect for frying. I spread the slices in a large, lightly oiled frying pan and start to cook. Everything is fine....
.....Just as a side note, I can cook. I promise. And not like the first week auditioners for American Idol think they can sing either. I'm not kidding myself, I normally do very well in the kitchen.
A full HOUR later my food is finished cooking. I use the word "finished" loosely. The potatoes aren't crunchy on the outside and they don't even look evenly cooked. Half of each side of each slice is golden to dark brown while the other half looks as white as my unexposed skin. Sixty whole minutes! How on earth does a woman born and raised in the south manage to take an HOUR to fry ONE thinly sliced potato?!?! This question has been taunting me for the past forty five minutes. (That's forty minutes longer than it took me to eat the potatoes that took an hour to cook, in case you were wondering.)
If this is the start of a trend Colin is going to get used to eating dinner in bed. It may take me all day to warm a frozen pizza. | | |
| Ok, Finally. Here is the address to our new Flickr account.
