@mismi,
Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny myself, most of the time my answer would be, eh same thing I had on yesterday/last time....I own about 40 pairs of cargo shorts, and 40 black shirts, mostly identical. Most days, I have to actually look down to see what I am wearing.


Wearing: Today was a special day.....Black boots, blue jeans, fancy ones from one of those teenage stores that plays loud indy music, a very tiny checkered or plaid shirt, the shirt itself is not tiny, but the checks are, its mostly green, long coat is hung up neatly on the coat rack.
Hearing: Christmas lights blinking, sum-bitches are blinkin hard.
Eating: Chips, until my supper gets here.
Drinking: Gatorade....one of those weird flavors....blue velvet....?
Doing: Trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up....Ninja....or Pirate, I'm leaning toward Ninja...cause I don't even know what a swash is, must less how to buckle it.
Looking forward to: Getting home tomorrow night from a trip to St Louis.
Feeling: Exhausted, it's been a hectic emotional roller coaster ride of a week.
Wanting: People to quit telling me to comb my hair...my 10 yr old son is now doing it as well, I'm sure his mother put him up to it....maybe I don't wanna comb my damn hair.

@George,
The series is really interesting.

I'd recommend finding out if your public library carries it - if possible, watch it from the beginning. The first one I saw was 28 Up. They were at 42 Up before I went back and saw the 1st four.

Hearing: an absolutely wonderful radio feature

http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/episodes/2012/12/21/leonardos-last-supper-1/

there is a podcast link that people might be able to use - the music is marvellous (disclaimer: the music is performed by my most beloved Toronto Consort)

Why would thirteen guys all sit on the same side of a long table? IDEAS host Paul Kennedy tells the fascinating story behind the world's most famous painting and explores the fertile imagination of one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived.


they're just at the bit where they're talking about the tableware and the use of the perspective in painting

Eating: working through a large double handful of clementines
Drinking: nothing. will have club soda in a bit

Doing: thinking about sleeping for the better part of the next 5 days

Wanting: some of 2packs Mexican Sprite. I know Mexican Coke (much better than the usual since it's made with cane sugar) ... wondering if Mexican Sprite has that same tasty difference

@ehBeth,
Wearing: straight let jeans, white T, red fleece jacket, brown uggs, new pandora necklace.
Hearing: Happy boys. I just heard one say he loves today. Makes my eyes water.
Eating: snacking on veggie and meat and cheese tray. I made a humongous breakfast of pork tenderloin, biscuits (with brown sugar and butter) and gravy with grits. So snacking lightly is called for.
Drinking: Coke
Feeling: excited, happy, nervous, worried....it is all in a ball right in my chest.
Doing: putting off the cleaning of my "safe" place. Tornado warnings and straight line winds are being predicted for the evening. Makes me a little edgy.
Looking forward to: the weather to be gone
Wanting: to be able to sit and enjoy this day instead of cleaning out my dern safe place.
