Meme of Five
Sure, I’m up for the odd meme now and then (Mrs. Harridan tagged me two weeks ago for the meme of five).
- What were you doing 10 years ago?
- Working at my first day job, getting hooked on programming, and paying off my student loan.
- What were you doing a year ago?
- Same old, same old: formulating my plans for world domination, a work that continues unabated to this day.
- 5 snacks you enjoy?
- Not much of a snacker, but here goes.
- Wine and cheese
- Combos (cheddar-cheese pretzel)
- Peanut butter toast
- Anything salty, especially pretzels
- Popcorn, Smart Food, Screaming Yellow Zonkers
- 5 songs you know all the lyrics to:
- All the lyrics? That’s easy: “Happy Birthday” and the first verse of the “Star-Spangled Banner.” I know, pathetic.
- 5 things you would do if you were a millionaire:
- I think the purpose of this question is to entertain you all with all the frivolous, self-indulgent crap I would buy. In reality, I would invest some of the money for retirement, help out some friends, and make some donations. Fantasizing for the purpose of this meme, however, is more difficult. Since I don’t anticipate ever having much disposable income, I don’t have much of a wish list, but here’s what I would buy:
- Land Rover Series III long-wheelbase with the Fairey overdrive.
- Helicopter flying lessons. A million dollars isn’t enough for my own helicopter.
- Antiques, especially American pieces made between 1750 and 1850 or so (Chippendale and Duncan Phyfe especially).
- I would make a start collecting art and photography, mostly 20th century.
- A ton of cameras, mostly film. The ways things are going, I can have all the film cameras I want for pennies on the dollar, and I want them all.
- 5 bad habits:
- I am riddled with bad habits, I just won’t admit to any of them. Hey, that’s a bad habit right there! OK, here’s two more.
- Not flossing regularly
- Leaving things lying around, not closing doors, general sloppiness
- 5 things I like doing:
- Living with Anne
- Cooking and eating
- Photography and all that it entails
- Visiting Maine and having a lobster roll (or ten)
- I guess I must like blogging, too.
