Question a Day Memage - May and a bit of June...

28. When was the last time you wore flip-flops (Zories/thongs)?

I don't tend to like them? They hurt my feet. I have high arches (kind of like Barbie), and I live in NYC which just....isn't conducive for thongs. Folks wear them. But city living and thongs don't quite go hand in hand. This is for folks who drive everywhere or live near the beach.

That said, I have a pair. And I last wore it? At the beach in Martha's Vineyard over seven years ago.

29. Do you like mustard? What type, and what do you put it on?

Yes. Grey Poupon or hot mustard. Although depends. I prefer fries with mustard. And mustard on a hamburger, hot dog, or in potato salad. I am not a mayo fan.

30. It’s the International Day of the Potato! What is your favourite way to eat potatoes?

My mother's potato salad, which had some mayo, mustard, and sweet pickles along with onion.

Also fried - either french fries or hash browns

31. It’s Clint Eastwood’s birthday – have you seen any of his films? Do you have a favourite?

Way too many. Hmm...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, or maybe Two Mules for Sister Sara with Shirley McLaine.

Now, I'm ahead. Yay.

While listening to Schmactors this morning (they were discussing Madonna's music for some reason or other...) and one of the actors loved Madonna's music and the other didn't. And it reminded me of how I'd gotten into fights years ago with people over Madonna. I'm not involve with either individual any longer. One moved away and I barely see them on Facebook, the other, alas is dead (may they rest in peace). We didn't break up over Madonna. So no worries on that front.

Guess which side of the fight I was on?

RIP Peter David & Loretta Swift, and hands off the green dragon

The news keeps pissing me off. I need to stay away from it for a while - and stop sneaking peaks at it from time to time. There's apparently a lot of protests planned today in NYC, and a lot happened on the 27th. I'm no where near them - I live in largely residential area, with lots of trees outside my window and I work at the tip of the Financial District a stone's throw from Battery Park and the Ferries. The protests are in Midtown and the upper West and East Sides of Manhattan, where the tourists and the rich live.

Some sad news, just learned legendary comic book writer Peter David died at the age of 68. While writing a series of Spike comics for IDW, he coined or gave the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series character of Spike, his last name. William Pratt - it was a two-pronged inside joke. Prat means fool in British, and it is also the real name of screen legend Boris Karloff - William Pratt, who was a British Gentleman known for playing monsters. The television creators of the series loved the idea so much they kept it. But David is actually best known for his award winning runs writing for Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk, X-Factor, X-men, and various others.

He died of various long-running health issues, and complications resulting from kidney disease.

In addition, as many may already know, Loretta Swift dies at 87. Best known for the role of Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan from M*A*S*H. She was in the pilot of Cagney and Lacey, but they wouldn't let her out of her MASH contract, so the part was replaced by Sharon Glass.

Found on FB, not sure if it will post or not.



If you can't see it? It's an ad in the want ads of a paper, that states,

Helen Gilbert of Unitarian Universalist Society: Nooo don't hurt the green dragon.

Me: Better yet? Can we convince the green dragon to fly over the White House and/or Marlago Bay instead? (With the caveat that the military refuse to kill it. Hands off the dragon, folks.)

Off to bed. I meant to write reviews, but I don't feel like it. Here's another picture instead. Hopefully it will post, no promises.
