Yet another meme. <\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. \nThe book nearest me<\/strong>:
    \n
    \nBabylon 5: The Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 7<\/em>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nStretch out your left arm; what do you touch?
    \n
    \n<\/strong>After the above? Quick Setup Guide for a Brother MFC-8870DW. <\/em>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nLast thing watched on television<\/strong>:
    \n
    \nThe Dick Van Dyke Show, “The Case of the Pillow.” Live? Hrm. Probably something Katherine wanted to watch, but that would have been days ago.<\/li>\n
  4. \nWithout looking, what time is it?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nAround 6:15a.<\/li>\n
  5. \nWhat is the actual time?<\/strong>
    \n
    \n6:07a.<\/li>\n
  6. \nWith the exception of the computer, what can you hear?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nSugar eating some cat food. I think<\/em> it’s cat food.<\/li>\n
  7. \nWhen did you last step outside?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nLast evening, to put a trash can into the side yard.<\/li>\n
  8. \nBefore this survey what did you look at?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nSign-in box for iPassConnect.<\/li>\n
  9. \nWhat are you wearing?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nGray slacks; green short-sleeved button-down shirt. Glasses. Underwear, socks, shoes.<\/li>\n
  10. \nDid you dream last night?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nYes, pretty sure I did. I remember remembering having dreamt when the alarm went off.<\/li>\n
  11. \nWhen did you last laugh?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nYesterday. I remember laughing over at Doyce’s, though not what about.<\/li>\n
  12. \nWhat is on the walls in the room?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nA very cool, brightly colored print of some peonies. Other prints of irises, a Barry Windsor-Smith lithograph, some Chinese ideograms whose meaning I don’t recall (but which is printed on the back).<\/li>\n
  13. \nSeen anything weird lately?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nWhat the Internet is for<\/a> …<\/li>\n
  14. \nWhat do you think of this quiz?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nTrying to remember if I’ve taken it before. Aside from that, s’okay.<\/li>\n
  15. \nWhat is the last film you saw?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nIn a theater? Gah. No idea.<\/li>\n
  16. \nTell me something we don\u2019t know.<\/strong>
    \n
    \nThere are a couple of tomatoes on the deck, ripening. Margie is excited about this.<\/li>\n
  17. \nIf you could change one thing about the world, what would you do?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nProbably nothing, as I’d be paralyzed by the options and the Monkey’s Paw<\/em>-like ramifications.<\/li>\n
  18. \nDo you like to dance?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nNot really. It’s not something I have a talent for. I appreciate the ability in those who can, though.<\/li>\n
  19. \nGeorge Bush?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nLess of an ideologue (and a hell of a lot smarter) than his predecessor. Kind of stiff, but clearly sharp, as his diplomatic and CIA resume indicate (though, “out of the loop” my ass). I think one day we’ll look back on him almost fondly as someone who didn’t try to fashion himself as a Great Leader, just a policy wonk made good. Like his wife. Not sure about his kids, though.<\/li>\n
  20. \nImagine your first child is a girl<\/strong>–
    \nOh, yeah, right, and next thing you know, you’ll be telling me I live in Colorado, too. Sheesh.<\/li>\n
  21. \nImagine your first child is a boy-<\/strong>
    \n
    \nI’m very happy with having a girl. Even (especially) one who’s not a girly-girl (despite her love of pink).<\/li>\n
  22. \nWould you consider living abroad?
    \n<\/strong>I think that window has slipped past us, unless there were a really<\/em> good bonus associated with it. Too set and settled.<\/li>\n
  23. \nWhat would God say to you at the pearly gates?<\/strong>
    \n
    \nI’m certainly hoping it’s something nice and chatty. And that He’s got time to answer a hell of a lot of questions.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
