Stolen from Bdogg...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ;)

– Post a list of 10 books/movies/TV shows that you’ve had a fannish love of at some time in your life.
– Have your friends guess your favorite character from each one.
– You can cross out the show/movie/book and put the character when someone guesses.

A couple of these are near-freebies ;)

1. Say Anything (Lisa guessed John Cusack correctly)
2. Grey's Anatomy (Lisa guessed George correctly)
3. Seinfeld (Suzy guessed George correctly)
4. Friends (Roxanne got it - Rachel!)
5. Desperate Housewives (Amy guessed it: Gabrielle!)
6. Harriet the Spy (the book, not the movie...Ole Golly was woefully miscast) - Lisa guessed Harriet correctly.
7. Bridget Jones's Diary (the movie, not the book) - Lisa guessed Mark Darcy correctly.
8. Clueless (Roxanne got it - Alicia Silverstone's character, named Cher. Though I almost picked Paul Rudd, so Lisa was close.)
9. The Accidental Tourist (the book, not the movie) - Muriel
10. Pride & Prejudice (BBC version...massive freebie) - Mr. Darcy - VK got it.

11:21 PM
Roxanne said…
Oh and #5...is it Bree?
11:22 PM
Amy said…

#10 - Mr Darcy?!
5:56 AM
Bearette said…
Roxanne, Amy & VK - interesting answers! I must give off a Bree vibe...but she's not the one :( Similarly, I was fond of Ross in the beginning of the show...but not him. Mr. Darcy, however, is right :D

Amy said…
How about Gabby for DH?
10:30 AM
Roxanne said…
The hot plumber/construction guy (haven't watched DH for a long time) was his name Mike?

And also Joey for Friends? (I didn't think it would be him, but I'll go for the long shot)
11:36 AM
Bearette said…
Amy - you're on!

Roxanne - nope, but i like the creative thinking :)
11:58 AM
Lisa said…
Am I allowed to guess again?

4. Smelly Cat
8. the Paul Rudd character
12:11 PM
Bearette said…
Lisa - yes, unlimited guesses! No to both, though very creative with the smelly cat. Paul Rudd is close - i almost picked him when i did the meme.

Amy said…
So that leaves Friends, and I have to go with Gunther for that one :-)
12:47 PM
Bearette said…
Wow...Friends is a stumper. It's not Gunther, but y'all can keep guessing :)
3:33 PM
Roxanne said…
Marcel...Ross's monkey?
4:55 PM
Amy said…
Joey for Friends?
5:19 PM
Perplexio said…
Ursula for Friends? Or maybe Gunther?

I hope you don't mind that I snarfed this for my own blog. I hope some of the book/film choices don't scare away too many blog readers.
5:28 PM
Bearette said…
Amy - nope...

Perplexio - the more the merrier! i'll have to check it out.

I LOVED Harriet the Spy. I used to think it would be awesome to hide in a dumbwaiter!
11:09 PM
Roxanne said…
(since you didn't answer to my Marcel the monkey guess I'll assume it's incorrect :) I will guess Rachel for Friends (why did noone guess that yet??)

Clueless- Alicia Silverstone? I never watched the movie though.
11:44 PM
Bearette said…
Ashley - me too. I'm always intrigued when I see one in a restaurant ;)

Roxanne - yay! You got two in one shot. I'm not sure why no one guessed Rachel, either. Either they forgot her or figured she wouldn't be my favorite?
11:58 PM
Roxanne said…
Yay! What do I win?

A virtual chocolate chip cookie ;)

bdogg_mcgee said…
Man, I didn't get to guess at all!

Oh well. I guess it's good to be busy during the day, otherwise they wouldn't call it work! :)

And yes, I'm VERY flattered! :) :) :)
12:22 PM
Bearette said…
hehe...there's still one open, but I'll probably fill in the answer ;)
1:13 PM
Amy said…
OK, I'll take one guess at the last one and say Rose, Macon's sister.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
