Friday Feast #105

Posted on August 4, 2006 by Zelda

Appetizer
Name an actor or actress you think is totally underappreciated.
Steve Buscemi. That man, while not exactly the most lovely to look upon, is an amazing actor. He plays creepy and unnerving in one so well, you shiver, then plays the family drunk in another so well you want to give him coffee and offer to dry him out. I adore this man and his acting. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not on my “I’d do him” list, but he is definitely on my “He’s in this movie? I’m there!” list. What a great, great, great character actor. In a time when we seem to be losing so many, I love that he’s so good at it.

Soup
Impress us by using a big word in a sentence.
I’m in a quandry. There are a pleathora of such words I might use to answer this inquiry. Whichever will I choose? Alas, woe is me! I am unable to choose!

Salad
What is something inanimate that you’ve given a name to (such as a pet rock)?
Do teddy bears count? I have James and Trystan. I named my computer once, but promptly forgot what I named it, so I don’t think that counts at all. I should name my computer. Anyone have any thoughts on what? It’s definitely male. It gets all slow when I overload it and all fast again when I touch it just right. (IE, reboot.)

Main Course
What color would best represent your personality and why?
Hrmm. At this moment – I’d say blue. Because blue can mean calm and serene and happy, which I am now, and it can also mean emotional, tragic, and sad – which I’m known to become on occasion. So – Blue. (=

Dessert
Fill in the blanks: ____________ is so ____________.
That is so cool. I’m lame. I know. But, it seems to have been my mantra of late. Just because there are so many cool things on the internet. (=

There’s my Friday Feast. How about yours?

Don’t you just hate it when you forget what you were going to do? I was over at Betty’s site and I thought of something I needed to do – then I completely forgot what it was. I blame it on the fact that I had to leave Betty a comment and my ecstatic-ness about her being back on the internets completely drove all thoughts out of my head. Including whatever it was I was thinking about and needed to do. Huh. Hrmm. Weird.

Let’s see. I need to install the plugin I got from Yoshi. Now if I can only remember where it is and what it does. ::snickers:: Yes, I really am that stupid. I’ll come back with an update on what it is. I know it was cool and that I wanted it. I just can’t remember what – IT – is. Meh. OH! And that Yoshi was thinking about making it an EE plugin. ::bats lashes at Yoshi::

What else. Um. OH! Eliza emailed me about the template I won from her – I am so utterly excited about this, I just cannot say! – and I emailed her back with my idea. I’m such a dork. I want Zelda. Yes, that’s right. Old school, NES, the Legend of Zelda. Wooohoo! The geek inside me is all aflutter. Seriously aflutter. The one Rachel will do – which I won from Wench and Jenny over at their site – will be something which appeals to the girly side of me. (Yes, I’m a girl. Amazing, huh?)

Um. I guess the only other thing is that I still need to learn how to make templates work in WP. Other than that, I’m doing pretty okay in my quest to one say work for Jenny. ::snickers:: As much as I laugh, I am serious. I do want to do that some day. It’d be fun.

Okay! I’m off to do this Friday thingie I saw at Yoshi‘s place.

‘Thon Over & . . .

Posted on August 2, 2006 by Zelda

The true sign that the Blogathon is over….

I have changed back to my other theme. Oh – sadness. I actually miss the ‘Thon theme. I think after staring at it for 24 hours, it was like – home. Don’t get me wrong, I adore this layout, but it is going to take some time to readjust.

Anyway. I’ve decided I need some new things.

Thing One!
I need to redo the ‘about’ section there. ::points:: The stuff under “digital angel”. So – leave me a comment! How would *you* describe me? Yesssss. This is your chance to tell me what you think of me. ::snickers:: Go on. Be creative! (=

Thing Two!
New smilies. I adore my current smilies, don’t get me wrong, but they are – lacking. There are just some missing that I wish I had. So – anyone know where I could get a new set of smilies? (= (Yes, I’m willing to pay for them. They don’t necessarily have to be free…)
