Christmas Quiz!

This quiz comes from Roger: 1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I always aspire to using wrapping paper, but end up using bags for most gifts. 2. Real tree or artificial? We used to get a real tree every year, but now we use a fake one. It really is easier, even if every year our tree ends up looking like last year’s tree. 3. When do you put up the tree? When we say, “Wow, we gotta get the tree up, because Christmas is in X days!” I never get the people who have their trees already up onDown the rabbit hole….

Futilely resisting the siren song of another little quiz-thing, here’s a…well, a quiz-thing! Via Belladonna, who’s been on a blogging explosion of late (for her, anyway): 7 things I’ve done before ONE: Done a “rock drop” in a kayak. This is where you balance your boat on top of a giant boulder at the side of a river, climb in, and then push off so the boat slides forward and drops off the side of the rock to drop, nose first, into the river. Mine was about a ten-foot drop. Scared the living crap out of me. TWO: Driven aDown the rabbit hole….

Belladonna has a quiz, one of those ones that started in e-mail but can be ported to blogging easily. It has two parts. First a “Things you’ve done” list, then some questions. Here it is, with the things I’ve done in bold: Gone on a blind date. (Never. I am staggeringly awful at situations where I am forced to meet new people. To me, the worst form of torture is those horrible business “meetings” where people from various locations are gathered in one place and then shuffled around so you’re spending the day with people you’ve never met.

Fall Quizzes!!!

I didn’t see as many quizzes floating around Blogistan while I was hiatusing (shut up, that’s totally a verb), but here’s one I saw about a month ago at Electronic Cerebrectomy and Tosy and Cosh. It pertains to fall, which is by far my favorite season; where some people want to live in a place where it always feels like July, my wish is for October forever. Fall seems to have this connotation of dying and waning and the light fading before the dark of winter, but I always find fall a time of renewal, a time when I’m moreDown the rabbit hole….

The years of my life (in music and movies)

So there’s this meme-thing percolating about in which you go through and pick your favorite album from each year you’ve been alive up to the present; I’ve been kicking that around for a while, long enough that now you’re supposed to do the same thing with movies. So, I guess I’ll combine them into one single post, although I won’t be picking exactly favorites, but things I’m very fond of from each year. (A few may be favorites, though.) A key resource here is Wikipedia’s Years in music and Years in Film articles. In each case I’ll list an albumDown the rabbit hole….

I was going to do a lot of comment on the various EW lists that they’ve got circulating, but I think I’ll do this one last post and call it a day on that subject. (Unless anyone’s really dying to hear what I think of, say, the “New Classic Death Scenes” or something similar.) I’m just doing the teevee list now; I won’t be doing the music list because I own exactly five of the albums on that list. (For fun and kicks, try and guess which ones!) Anyhow, here are my thoughts on the teevee list. (For comparison, checkDown the rabbit hole….

So Entertainment Weekly has made two lists: one is a list of its Top 100 movies of the last twenty-five years, and the other does the same thing with books. You know the drill: the ones I’ve seen or read are in bold, with occasional comment. (However, a couple of provisos: yes, I’d include the Star Wars prequels, so sod off, haters. And as T & C point out, the list excludes The Shawshank Redemption, which is well-nigh inexplicable.) 1.Pulp Fiction (1994) (Wouldn’t be my best, but I’m not going to quibble.) 2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03)Down the rabbit hole….

SamuraiFrog, Tosy and Cosh, and Tom the Dog have both commented on this, and I must, of course, follow suit. Last week was the annual American Film Institute teevee show, when they present a list of Top X Movie Whatever’s. This year they picked several genres and named the top ten movies in each genre. As always, the point of the show isn’t to present some kind of iron-clad canon of film, but just to drum up interest in the movies. If people watching these shows say, “Hmmm, I should watch that again/for the first time”, then the show hasDown the rabbit hole….

I’ve done this before, but now I’ve been tagged again, so here are the directions: “To participate, you grab any book, go to page 123, find the fifth sentence, and blog it. Then tag five people.” Hmmmm. OK, picking a book. Hmmm….OK, got one: Popular Alienation: A Steamshovel Press Reader. So, page 123…fifth sentence…got it. Inslaw signed a contract with the Justice Department in 1982 to supply the software exclusively to all US Attorney’s offices. This book comes from the mini-library of conspiracy theory books I assembled ten years or so ago, back when I was interested in such stuff.Down the rabbit hole….
