OK, so a couple of weeks ago I did a list of 100 things that bug me. It’s time to take up the opposite end of that particular spectrum, which brings me to this: 100 things that make me all warm and fuzzy inside, like a little kitten. On Prozac. This list is in no particular order, by the way, and it’s most certainly not exhaustive. These aren’t the only 100 things I love! (We’ll also stipulate my loves of Berlioz, Rachmaninov, George Lucas, Star Wars, Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Once and Again for the purposes of this list.Down the rabbit hole….

Wow, is this blog getting boring…I’m resorting to more quizzes. Hmmmm. From SamuraiFrog comes a quiz with some odd spelling in progress. Sorry about the all-caps too, but that’s how it came to me. Anyway: 1) WHAT BOOK ARE U READING? I’m progressing slowly through Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, which is a book to savor in small doses. I think it’s the literary equivalent of a box of very fine chocolates, so I’m reading it one chapter at a time. I’ll also have some other novel going on, although I haven’t picked one yet; it’ll probably be a spaceDown the rabbit hole….

Bill Altreuter points to this list of 75 things every man should be able to do, I guess, in order to be able to really lay claim to true manliness or something. Surprisingly, Bill doesn’t do what bloggers are supposed to do in such cases: reproduce the list, with specific comment on his ability, or lack thereof, to do the things on the list. Well, unto the breach I go! 1. Give advice that matters in one sentence. Sometimes you can do it with one sentence, sometimes you need more than that. I guess he’s saying that you need toDown the rabbit hole….

Two quizzes from SamuraiFrog, here and here. The first looks familiar, but I’ve been doing these for so long, I’ve probably already done it at some point. Maybe I’ll seek that out and, if I did do it, compare answers. Or not. 1.Name: Real name, Kelly; Internet handle, “Jaquandor” 2. Nicknames: None, really. 3. Feet size: 11, although that can vacillate a bit depending on the brand of shoe in question. 4. Do you have a crush: Sela Ward, as always; and I have the feeling that my long-dormant crush on Gillian Anderson’s about to come back in a BIGDown the rabbit hole….

OK, I was tagged by Blue Girl with this. It’s a one-word answer quiz-thing. I’m never all that good at one-word answer stuff; I do best with lots-of-word answers. But let’s see how I do, eh? (BTW, I wrote this on Thursday night and saved it, so some of the answers are incomprehensible if you don’t know that I was watching NBC’s Thursday night roster of comedies at the time.) Yourself: Wondering. Your Partner: Beloved. Your Hair: Long Your Mother: Librarian Your Father: Logical Your Favorite Item: Laptop! Your Dream Last Night: Sensual (Well, it was! So there!)

According to not one but two bloggers — Lynn Sislo and Steph Waller — this blog is Excellent! Ha! In your face, Flanders! But now I have to identify some other “Excellent” blogs, and here’s the thing: they all stink. Ha! I’m the only one! OK, I’m kidding there. Here are some real nominations. (I’ll avoid any common nominations, but I’ll note that of the blogs on Lynn’s and Steph’s lists than I know, they are, in fact, excellent. I’ll also not nominate those who nominated me, although both Lynn and Steph are excellent with a capital X.) :: InDown the rabbit hole….

A short while back, Will Duquette tagged me with the “Six Things” meme thing, which is just like the venerable “Seven Things” meme thing, except that this time it’s “Six Things”. So I’m supposed to come up with six things about me. This gets harder each time it comes around; six years of bloggorhea will do that to you. I’m more and more hard-pressed to discuss stuff that I don’t discuss here, and that would be too horrifying for words. So here are six things about me, and if I repeat anything from a former iteration of this particular meme-thing,Down the rabbit hole….

I saw this at Paul’s place, and of course I made no effort to resist it. Because resistance is futile. Your best friend tells you she is pregnant. What is your reaction? “Congratulations”, I suppose, although I’d have to work hard to conceal my astonishment, given what I know of her life situation. Actually, it would take me a few minutes to get to “Congratulations”. My immediate reaction would more likely be, “Gwaaahhh?!” When is the last time you wanted to punch someone in their face? With my fists? Not in a great long while, years, in fact; I don’tDown the rabbit hole….

UPDATE 3-16-08: Some of the image sizes were screwing up the appearance of the blog, so I fixed the HTML to shrink ’em down a bit. Sorry things got ugly there for a few days. Yes, it’s another quiz-thing! I’ve seen this in a bunch of places, most recently at Jason’s blog. Maybe I should rename this blog “Quiz things”. Anyway, this one looks fun, because it’s got the normal run of questions, but with a twist. The rules: 1. Go to photobucket.com2. Type in your answer for each question into the PhotoBucket search bar.3. Choose your favorite photo toDown the rabbit hole….

I happened upon this library quiz-thing, and given my love of libraries and quiz-things, I just had to do it. Sadly, I had no idea that February was “Library Lovers Month” until three days into March, when I found this. Alas. How do you plan on celebrating Library Lovers month? Well, by doing this quiz, I suppose, since I missed the actual Library Lovers Month. Whoops! How often do you accidentally spell library as ‘libary’ when you’re in a hurry? Never, I think. Let me try: Library library library library library library lobrary librayr librayr library library library. Nope, justDown the rabbit hole….
