1. In the near darkness I wait for fireflies.

2. I’m off duty today until further notice.

3. But this is just allergies (I realize I’m lying to myself).

4. Would love to head up to the park in Sewickley and stick my toes in the stream creek there.

5. It’s always nice to have friends drop by.

6. My friend S has a wonderful ear for listening and she’s pleasant company.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to cleaning the kitchen with William, tomorrow my plans include Kidsitting for the Gyres & a bit more kitchen clean up and Sunday, I want to sleep in!

100 things – part 7

Filed under: Entertainment,Life — Tags: , — michele james-parham @ 9:43 pm

previous posts of 100 things can be found here

61. What’s your favorite thing to cook? Muffins, Chai Tea (homemade stove top variety) & Potato-Leek Soup.

62. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a teacher; done that. I wanted to be a counselor; done that. I wanted to be a mum; doing that… and in a round about way, I’m still doing the previous two as well.

63. Have you ever ordered something from a television infomercial? Yes. And it’s been the best thing ever! The Magic Bullet (the blender thing, not the vibrator!).

64. Did you go to your high school reunion? NO. And I never planned on it – I don’t need to see a bunch of assholes (who will pretend to be my friends) unnecessarily.

65. What do you order at the bar? [Single Malt Scotch], neat & in a tall glass; Maker’s Mark/Woodford Reserve/Knob Creek on the rocks or Jameson & Soda (and almost always a Bitters & Soda as an accompaniment).

66. If you were asked to name a puppy what name(s) come to mind? Garfield, Malcolm, Kitty, Vera, Bodhi, Juno, Watson, Fox…

67. Does it bother you when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday? No, but I do take note of it.

68. Have you ever seen a dead body? Yes – more than once. (Oh, you want an explanation… anatomy class, a morgue, a wake & turning the wrong corner at the wrong time.)

69. How old were you when you got your first kiss? Well, there was this boy in Kindergarten that I used to chase around on the playground and kiss, but he doesn’t count. My first real, honest & romantic kiss was Jules (Julie); we were both 10 years old; she was awesome.

70. What is the last thing you downloaded? I believe, that technically, that last thing I downloaded was done so illegally… So, let’s just say it was Firefox 4.0. ;)

Unconscious Mutterings 04.3.2011

  1. Limited – time. but, at the same time (ha!), it’s so unlimited — time is all we have.
  2. Zombie – ZOMG!
  3. Energy – would love to get me some!
  4. Proof – is a very scientific/mathematical word. sometimes, i wonder why everyone is so determined to prove so much.
  5. Hassle – running errands. doing that little fiddly shit that makes a home/family/life run somewhat smoothly.
  6. Peep – Meep! (also, those marshmallow creatures that started appearing at the drugstore about three weeks ago.)
  7. Jogger – someone i will never be ;)
  8. Hunt – this comes to mind (from one of my favorite etsy shops).
  9. Career – what ‘responsible’ people have.
  10. Plants – wishing i had more in my house.

one hundred things – part 6

Filed under: Entertainment,Life — Tags: , — michele james-parham @ 6:26 pm

51. If you didn’t order any GS Cookies this year, which kind would you most likely be accused of swiping off a co-worker’s desk? Thin Mints or those peanutbutter things. Side note: ‘peanutbutter’ should be one word.

52. What’s your dream car? A converted Bluebird bus, but I’ll settle for a hearse.

53. What household chore do you dislike the most? Vacuuming, but thankfully, we have very little that actually needs to be vacuumed.

54. Is there an actor or actress whom you dislike so much that you wouldn’t even see a movie or TV show they were in? No one comes to mind at the moment, but I’ll update if I think of someone.

55. If you had a band, what would you name it? Bitches w/ Kittens, Queer Agenda, Metal Mouse, and I’m sure I can think of others…

56. If when you got to work today, someone told you that you and all of your co-workers had been given a mandatory day off, what would you do with your day? Go back to bed.

57. What one object in your home or apartment are you most embarrassed about owning? Nothing comes to mind…

58. If you were offered the opportunity to have cost-free and risk-free plastic surgery, would you? If so, and you’re comfortable sharing, what do you think you’d have done? I really don’t think I would have anything done. I might change my mind later in life, but I’m pretty happy with me.

59. Would you rather vomit marbles or sweat cheese? Vomit marbles. Hands down.

60. What’s your favorite line to quote from a movie? Favorite? My gods, I love so many!

Hello, you’ve reached the winter of our discontent. ~ Reality Bites

I’m bursting with fruit flavor ~ Reality Bites

Oh, for goodness sakes, get down off that crucifix. Someone needs the wood. ~ The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

How do you like them apples? ~ Good Will Hunting

Fear is the mind-killer. ~ Dune

I’ve seen things in this city that make Dante’s Inferno read like Winnie The Pooh. ~ Shadow Hours

Bazaar. Kind of sums up my whole life to this point. ~ Shadow Hours

Do you want an opinion or an alibi? ~ Go Ask Alice

Damn the man. Save the Empire. ~ Empire Records

There are more, but I have a habit of quoting movies.
