Res Ipsa Loquitur

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. What does it say?

"women. Bonney, as he was called, was no mean gam-" By Sorrow's River, by Larry McMurtry. I haven't read it yet, I'm saving it for Monday, when Mike has some routine medical tests scheduled & I get to be the D.D.F.S.P. (Designated Driver For Sedated Persons)

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? My almost-empty cup of tea....which means it's almost time for me to stop dicking around on the computer & get started on my homework.

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV? Last night, "Without a Trace" I think it's called, you know, the show about the FBI team that looks for missing persons.

4. WITHOUT LOOKING, can you guess what the time is? 8:30 a.m.

5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time? 8:53 a.m. Crap, I really do need to get going.

6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? Birds singing and the window exhaust fan running. And cars going by on the street in front of our house.

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? At about 5:30 a.m. I was taking the dogs out.

8. Before you came to this website, what did you look at? Whether or not I still had any tea left in my cup. Isn't this exciting?

9. What are you wearing? My jammies, house slippers, and my bright red fuzzy robe that has pictures of scottish terriers on it. My sis bought it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago.

10. Did you dream last night? Not that I remember. The last dream I remember was a couple of nights ago when I dreamed that Mike & I were fishing, and I caught this huge trout. Mike was going to cook it for supper. I woke up hungry.

11. When did you last laugh? Last night, at something Mike said. No, I'm not telling you what.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in? White paint. Pictures. A clock. A smoke detector. And a lot of stuff that needs to be washed off that I'd rather not think about.

13. Seen anything weird lately? Sure. It was a full moon last weekend after all. Prolly the weirdest thing I saw was a transvestite buying thong underwear. He (she?) was really nice though....one of my nicer customers that night.

14. What do you think of this quiz? Interesting but not very?

15. What is the last film you saw? In the theater? Matrix: Revolution. I was glad we only paid the matinee price to see it.

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first? A house with a fenced yard & a doggie door so the dogs could let themselves out. And a hot tub. For us, not the dogs.

17. Can you tell something about you that no one knows? I could, but I'm not gonna.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? Give every child a set of decent parents.

19. Do you like to dance? I adore dancing, especially ballroom dancing. My favorites are the waltz (it's so elegant) and the tango (sexy).

20. George Bush: is he a power-crazy nut case or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years? The latter. I'll admit, he has surprised me. I didn't think he had it in him. But I'm grateful that he does.

21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? She wasn't, but I'd call her the same thing I did call my daughter. I named her after a character on "Soap". And it wasn't Burt.

22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him? He was, and I named him after an important figure in horse breeding history.

23. Would you ever consider living abroad? Prolly not. I like where I live. Though we occasionally toy with the idea of moving to New Zealand.
