I hate to admit it, but I'm bored. This is the second of three weeks where I won't have worked more than three days in the week, and I'm starting to run out of things to do. (Poor, pitiful me, I know.) I braved the roads once today and they were scaaaaaary, so I think I'm holeing myself in for a while. Hence, loads of time wasted on Interweb. I was going to post something entirely different than this, but I second guessed it and instead stole this meme of things we'd want if we were eternally snowed in from Steve, who's also holed in. Hope I don't bore you too much. In fact, feel free to skip it and put a movie in instead. I won't mind.
Still with me? Then here it goes:
Novel You've Read: Nine Stories (So it's not a novel, but I love it and could read it continuously.)
Novel You've Never Read: Catch-22 (I'm embarrassed to admit publicly that I've never read this...but there it is.)
Book Series You've Read: The Dark Tower (the first three)
Book Series You've Never Read: The Dark Tower (the last five)
Nonfiction You've Read: In Cold Blood
Nonfiction You've Never Read: Um..Dianetics? (Joke.) Into Thin Air (another one I can't believe I've never read)
Snow-Themed Movie: A Simple Plan
Non-Snow-Themed Movie: Harold and Maude and Cool Hand Luke

Movie Remake: The Ring (Have you seen the original Japanese one? Dumb.)
Movie Trilogy: The Godfather

Fast Food Item: White Castle's chicken rings (with honey mustard, of course)

Single Video Game (regardless of platform): The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Exercise You'd Do Every Day: Various free-weight arm exercises. (Gotta keep the girls pretty)
Pair of Shoes: Since I won't have to leave the house - flip-flops
Item of Clothing: Pashminas as far as the eye can see
Crime You'd Wish You'd Committed PreSnow: Robbing Best Buy until they bleed.
Well, that wasted about a half an hour, anyway. Back to Battlestar Galactica, I guess - and a frakken good show that I just finally allowed myself to start watching, that.

Despite the fact that I know you only as a virtual identity and mysterious "friend-of-Steve", the fact that you namecheck Hatful of Hollow, the single greatest album of the eighties and the soundtrack to much, if not most, of my adolescent tomfoolery, makes you a greatly esteemed personage.
Thank you. I love you too. Let's be friends.
