What's your favorite soundtrack?
Not musical...just film soundtrack.
What are five things that make you unique?
Submitted by RA<3TA.I was going to take a photo of all 5 on one hand but I couldn't get a good enough closeup of them.
What's your favorite play and why?
Henry V...There are a million quotable lines in Shakespeare but Henry V and particularly the Prologue contain the most evocative.
Now
all the youth of England are on fire,
And silken dalliance in the wardrobe lies.
Henry
V, 2. Prologue
And my favourite monologue...and surprisingly not the St Crispins day speech.
KING HENRY: Marry, if you would put me to verses or
to dance for your sake, Kate, why, you undid me. For the one
I have neither words nor measure; and for the other I have no
strength in measure, yet a reasonable measure in strength. If
I could win a lady at leapfrog, or by vaulting into my saddle
with my armor on my back, under the correction of bragging be
it spoken, I should quickly leap into a wife. Or if I might buffet
for my love, or bound my horse for her favors, I could lay on
like a butcher and sit like a jackanapes, never off. But, before
God, Kate, I cannot look greenly, not gasp our my eloquence,
nor I have no cunning in protestation, only downright oaths which
I never use till urged, nor never break for urging. If thou canst
love a fellow of this temper, Kate, whose face is not worth sunburning,
that never looks in his glass for love of anything he sees there,
let thine eye by thy cook. I speek to thee plain soldier. If
thou canst love me for this, take me; if not, to say to thee
that I shall die, is true; but for thy love, by the Lord, no;
yet I love thee too. And while thou liv'st, dear Kate, take a
fellow of plain and uncoined constancy, for he perforce must
do thee right, because he hath not the gift to woo in other places.
For these fellows of infinite tongue that can rhyme themselves
into ladies' favors, they do always reason themselves out again.
What! A speaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a ballad. A good
leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will
turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither,
a full eye will wax hollow; but a good heart, Kate, is the sun
and the moon; or rather, the sun, and not the moon, for it shines
bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly. If thou
would have a such a one, take me; and take me, take a soldier;
take a soldier, take a king. And what say'st thou then to my
love? Speak, my fair, and fairly, I pray thee.
What did you learn in kindergarten that you wish you did a better job of applying to the way you live your life today?
Hmmm...
Power naps
Don't put the paintbrush in the white paint after using the black paint.
Don't throw your toys out of the pram.
Play nicely with others.
Don't eat jam with your fingers.
The square peg goes in the square hole.
Kicking my legs in the air and screaming does not get me what I desire.
Sometimes people forget to pick you up coz they're busy...
Boys are stupid.
Of course I did not go to Kindergarten...I went to play school. It sounds like so much more fun doesn't it? Whereas Kindergarten sounds like some scary place where serial killers grow children.
What was your random act of kindness today?
Submitted by Cher Cabula.
Whilst walking this afternoon I warned 2 children of their future as serial killers. They were chucking stones at a cat so I kindly reminded them that a high percentage of young people who torture animals go on to become serial killers. This was of course met with surly snarls. Whereupon I glared at them with my best adult frown. If the clown suits fit....
What album has been most influential in your life?
Submitted by Soup.
In my teens it was Prince...specifically Purple Rain
There is one song that has followed me throughout my life and has always been there through all the joys and all the disappointments. That is of course the ever lovely Pooh and Huffalumps and woozles...but not the frelling Disney Pooh. I do not mind the songs but I do not like the animation or the way Disney has portrayed many of the characters.
Song: Heffalumps And Woozles
They're black they're brown they're up their down
They're in they're out they're all about
They're far they're near they're gone they're here
They're quick and slick and insincere
Beware Beware Be a very wary bear
A Heffalump or Woozle is very confusel
The Heffalump or woosel is very sly
- sly - sly - sly
They come in ones and twoosels
but if they so choosels
before your eyes you'll see them multiply
- ply - ply - ply
They're extra-ordinary so better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size
- size - size - size
If honey is what you covet you'll find that they love it
Because they guzzle up the thing you prize
They're green they're blue they're pink they're white
They're round they're square they're a terrible sight
They tie themselves in horrible knots
They come in stripes or polka-dots
Beware Beware Be a very wary bear
(musical interlude)
They're extra-ordinary so better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size
- size - size - size
If honey's what you covet you'll find that they love it
Because they guzzle up the things you prize
They're black they're brown they're up their down
They're in they're out they're all about
They're far they're near they're gone they're here
They're quick and slick and insincere
Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware ....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Spammers have started sending unwanted messages not only to your inbox, but to your cellphone. Tell us: Have you received this potentially costly form of spam yet?
Why would it be costly? OOOhhhhhh riiigghhttt...ANOTHER American question again maybe? Why on earth would I get charged for people sending text messages to me? That is just insane...and frankly bizarre.
What's your "go-to" movie? The one you watch when you need to just get away from it all?
