Saturday 9

Saturday 9 is a fun meme that I used to participate in over at Another Piece of the Puzzle. I decided to check out this week’s questions on a whim, and they were right up my alley, so here goes:

Saturday 9: Bad Day

1. Is there anything that you tend to do to cheer up when you are having a bad day?
My favorite thing is to go off by myself and read a book. Peace and quiet combined with a little escapism is the best thing for me. Of course, a nice piece of chocolate doesn’t hurt either!

2. What’s the last card game you played, and with whom did you play?
That would have been Go Fish, although we played with a deck of Dora Crazy Eights cards. I know, we get wild around here – in this case, we being my son Michael and me.

3. What’s the last board game you played, and with whom did you play?

It was actually Mousetrap, but I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how cute the new Lego games are. We have the Race 3000 one, and you build the track first and then play the game. The interactive die makes the game different every time.

4. What’s the last computer game you played, and with whom did you play?
Boy, can you tell Michael and I are the game addicts in this household? I actually just heard about Superbook.tv on the 700 Club (which I rarely watched but happened to see part of today), so I showed it to Michael and the fact that they have games and there is a robot drew him in. The last game I played with him before coming in here to blog was Superbook Says.

5. Is there somewhere you’d like to visit but have not, and where is it?
Good question. There are so many places I haven’t visited. It’s been fifteen years since I moved East and the closest I’ve been to NYC is the Bronx Zoo, so I’d probably start there. I would also like to take my son to Disneyworld, but I was there when I was 16, so I guess that doesn’t count.

I would be willing to go a lot of places if I had someone to take me around and help me not get lost. I’m not really an adventurous person when it comes to that.

6. Think of your favorite movie (or a movie you really like, if you can’t think of a favorite). Some people say that the reasons you love your favorite movie are related to what you value in romantic relationships. How is this true or untrue in your case?

One of my favorite movies is Sliding Doors, despite the fact that the characters engage in a lot of activities which would be offensive to some of my readers and of which I do not approve either.

With that said, I love the idea of how one moment in time can change your life, and the way this movie takes you through what would happen depending on whether she catches the train or has to wait for the next one is fascinating to me.

As for the second part of the question, I guess that would be true to a large degree.

(What, you thought I was going to say the BBC production of Price & Prejudice? Yes, of course, that’s my true favorite, but everybody already knows about that one.)

7. What physical attributes do you find the most attractive?
Nice eyes and facial features.

8.How many people live in your house? Tell us about them.
Three people live in our house – my husband Bob, my son Michael and me. Michael would also want to include Wallace and Willow, our two white cats who are brother and sister.

Bob is a creative guy stuck in a boring job, Michael is a bright kid who is learning that it’s okay to be different, and I’m just trying to keep it all together.

9. Ever punch someone in the face?
No, but wouldn’t that make a great story if I had.
