some learnin's

i am borrowing this neat idea from a fellow blogfriend (and real friend) to kick-start my re-admittance into postland. inhale and exhale followers, here's a few things to learn about yours truly (you are, after all, reading about my inner tics, tricks and piss-offs, it's about time the basics bubble out):

What time did you get up this morning? morning? you must mean afternoon. i woke up at 2:30pm but only because i worked downtown until the wee hours of the am.

How do you like your steak? not moving, not mooing, mostly not bleeding: medium? the flip-floppy choice.

What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Funny People. it was more stressful and uncomfortable than anything else. not funny.

What is your favorite TV show? news, saturday night live (if i'll ever catch it again) and my guilty pleasure: so you think you can dance.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? rome. i'd return with stories, language, tricks, tans and an unnerving, innate desire to make things my way.

What did you have for breakfast? raisin toast and a tomato and spinach omelette.

What is your favorite cuisine? potluck.

What foods do you dislike? after years of trying to give them a home in my belly, i am still not a big fan of mushrooms. i also dislike raspberries. also: green peppers too often ruin the taste of everything else around them.

Favorite dressing: balsamic vinnie. toss, toss, toss.

What kind of vehicle do you drive? heels, sneakers, sandals.

Where would you visit if you had the chance? i would immediately go to calgary to catch up with vanessa. i'd then like to slither on to london to visit lindsey. i'd then hop on a plane to foggy little london town (the transatlantic one) and i'd stay with miss meghan for a good length of time. after that, i might take mr. w's suggestions seriously and visit australia.

Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? it's half empty if i am working at the bar. that way, i can replenish the drink and therefore make some more money. if i am not working at the bar, the cup is half full. pace is the trick.
