Show us the person you'd most like to switch bodies and lives with for one freaky Friday.

I've often said that I'd just like to BE Neil Gaiman.  To have all those ideas in my head, and to have the life he lives - writing, traveling, zillions of weirdo fans...!  LOL

(And, thank you very much Neil Gaiman for turning me on to yet another obsession... really, thanks a lot.)

Went for a first ride on Sunday (finally, the weather co-operated) on my Suzuki SV650 (aka "Hiro"). 

We look good together, dontcha think?

(That bike in the background is my husband's big fat purple grape of a sport touring bike.)

Wow.  So blown away.  I mean, I was expecting greatness, after having seen the previews and all at last year's Comic Com in San Diego, and have been waiting since then with great anticipation, but WOW.  It's even better than they've been saying. 

GO SEE IT.  You will not be disappointed!! 

Just sitting here, with a purring kitty in my lap, enjoying these moments because all too soon, they'll be gone.

Show us your favorite pair of shoes.

 

1. What's harder to live without, chocolate or alcohol?

Probably chocolate.  I'm not a huge sweets-eater but there are definitely times when I NEED chocolate!

2.  Does the colour yellow remind you of anything?

Taxis.  Or Bees.

3.  Who most annoyed you last week?

Either certain co-workers or my boss. 

4.  Do you have a cutesy romantic nickname for your partner (or previous partners)?

No. 

5.  What was your favorite Stephen King movie?

Weird, I was just thinking about this.  Probably Misery - it's the only one I've ever seen that TRULY scared me, and that ended in a satisfying manner.

Sooooo shiny....

My kitty Kaylee is still running, jumping, playing, snuggling.  Her ear stinks again though - the infection in there (that may or may not be related to the tumor in there) is back again.  :(

I just bought a most excellent new pair of Chucks.  Pictures will most certainly be necessary once they're in my hot little hands (or more appropriately, on my hot little feet.)

Jim Butcher is awesome, and I wish I could write like him.  (The latest Dresden Files book did not disappoint!  Now I'm onward and forward into the latest Codex Alera book... Butcher has to stop writing so I can read some OTHER authors once in a while... psst, Jim, since I know you read this, ignore that!  Keep writing!)

Speaking of Writers I Love, Neil Gaiman continues to be awesome.  Even when his dog bonks him in the face with an 80 lb. pole.  Poor guy!  I hope he recovers his natural coloring quickly.  ("Not a werepanda"!  *snerk*)

Ummm... I think that's it of any kind of interest at all.  OH!  It was also in the 70's today.  WINDY, of course, but actually WARM.  It was lovely.

Woo!  It's the new Harry Dresden book!  I've missed Harry... and so far, it looks like Mr. Butcher hasn't lost his talent for banter-y wit.  I'm only in the first 100 pages or so, but already we've visited many of the other characters Dresden has encountered in his past.  For a wizard who was so alone in the beginning, he's got plenty of company now!
