Not so random, really, given this week’s news. What are your favorite Robin Williams and/or Lauren Bacall performances? (Mine: Good Will Hunting and To Have and Have Not, respectively.)

So what’s that one little quirk about your house or home that needs fixing someday, and yet, even though it bugs you enough to make you think “I gotta fix that!” every time you encounter it, somehow just never quite reaches the level of urgency to actually fix it?
(Oh, and don’t forget to Ask Me Anything! No question is too serious or silly!)

This one’s more serious in tone than usual, but I’ve been thinking a lot about it. Roger had an unfortunate experience in a place he has naturally seen as something of a sanctuary. How do you deal with things like this — either this type of situation, or in more generic terms, a situation in which something or someplace you see in a certain peaceful way is violated?

So, how frustrating is it when stuff that’s supposed to work wonderfully in this new gee-whiz techno-wizard world just doesn’t?
I had another post in this space earlier, but I had to take it down because it involved a link to another blog and I could NOT make the link work using Blogger’s mobile app. I tried a bunch of times and kept ending up with a broken link. Then I tried fixing it in Blogger’s web version (still on my phone), but that didn’t work either, so I’ll use that one another time.
This all comes on the heels of some enormously frustrating time I’ve spent lately with Windows Movie Maker, trying to make a book trailer for PRINCESSES. All I’m doing is literally stitching a bunch of brief movie clips together just to convey a bit of what I hope the book feels like, but this makes the program choke constantly. Again, something that should be pretty easy turns out to be a headache.
So again, how do you react when even your relatively modest expectations for your technology end up going awry?

So, what have y’all been listening to lately, music-wise?
(And don’t forget to weigh in on my author photo, if you haven’t already!)

I’m sure I’ve done some version or other of this topic as the Wednesday thing before, but it’s a fun topic that always inspires entertaining rantage, so: add a commandment or two to this list!

I had a discussion pop up on a friend’s Facebook page yesterday about this, so I thought I’d toss it to you folks: What do you think of the band Journey, and specifically, the song “Don’t Stop Believin'”? (Personally, I can take or leave the band — they’re OK, but nothing I ever choose to listen to — but that song has become so ubiquitous as to make me groan every time I hear its opening bars!)
