Entry: I'm Makin' a List... Friday, January 06, 2006



I'm stealing this from Geor3ge, even though he didn't ask me to join in (*sniff*)...OK, I thought that Geor3ge didn't tag me, but he really did (guilt trip over, be sure to take all of your belongings with you...)

Seven Things To Do Before I Die

1. See Phantom of the Opera in the West End.
2. Go to college.
3. Own a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
4. See the Bears play in Soldier Field.
5. Ditto the White Sox at Comiskey Park (OK, US Cellular fucking Field).
6. Learn how to make the perfect lasagna.
7. Learn to tango.

Seven Things I Cannot Do

1. Drive a stick shift.
2. Keep from correcting my stepdaughter when she says "I've saw".
3. Listen to "Feed Jake" or "He Stopped Loving Her Today" all the way through.
4. Understand what's so interesting about 99.9% of "reality television".
5. Like George Bush.
6. Stop my dog from licking the carpet without breaking the law.
7. Miss CSI: (the original…not the spinoffs).

Seven Things That Attract Me to...Blogging

1. Answering the question "what's a blog?" 48 times a week.
2. The vain hope that someone famous might 'discover' me.
3. Being able to express myself for the world to see…for free.
4. Knowing that, every so often, someone does read it.
5. When TMB comes around and starts being his old TMB self (kept this one from Geor3ge's list).
6. Inspiring someone else to express their opinions, too.
7. Telling that person that they are full of shit, and they have no clue who I really am.

Seven Things I Say Most Often

1. "Way to go, Einstein."
2. "Is your room clean enough to be on the computer?" (stepdaughter only)
3. "Good job, you".
4. "Are you fucking kidding me?!"
5. "Fuck."

6. "Nala, Randy, finish up, lets go!" (dogs only)
7. "Plant 15, Spencemo* speaking." (work only (*name changed to protect the innocent))

Seven Books That I Love

1. Bill Clinton, My Life (OK, I couldn't get past page 47, but it's one hell of a paperweight).
2. Lewis Black, Nothing Sacred.
3. Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends.

5. E.B. White, Charlotte's Web.
6. Roget's Thesaurus.
7. My high school yearbook.

Seven Movies That I Watch Over and Over Again

'She's Like the Wind' definately was not one of his better moments...but when I saw that pottery scene with Demi Moore in Ghost...all was forgiven.

My aunt is a Cubs fan too. She still lives out there, and was kind enough to send my dad her copies of the Tribune reporting each day of the Series. Along with a note saying that she had to cancel her subscription because she couldn't take that kind of shit anymore!

I just had to come and check out your list, spencemo. Sorry I didn't get to it till now, but darned if I don't have to work all the damn time. (Don't tell TMB - he thinks I'm really a hippie.)

Category 1: I've seen the Bears at Soldier Field, but not since the renovation and expansion. I have to admit to being a life-long Cubs fan, though, so I probably won't be going to Cingular Field, or whatever it's called, too soon.

Cat. 2, no. 2: If you never succeed in correcting "I've saw", just have your stepdaughter move to a hardcore red state, where that's considered good grammar.

Cat. 3, no. 2: I bet TMB is actually Tucker Carlson, and he'll be asking you to guest host soon.

Cat. 5, no. 7: The only problem with my high school year book is that nearly everyone who wrote in it used the word "ya", as in "see ya over the summer", or "hope ya do find a liver donor".

Cat. 6: Patrick Swayze has an enormous noggin. I bet he can speak to people just through his brain waves. I still can't forgive him for that "She's Like the Wind" or "She Breaks the Wind" (or whatever it was called) song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

Alas, I am out of inane input.

Well, it was either me, spencemo, or my sister, stimpy...at least you kept it in the family!

I did ask, I just stupidly wrote stimpy instead of spencemo. Don't know why I made that silly error, other than it being ridiculously late when I finally finished it. I shall correct it immediately. Sincerest apologies, my dear.
