Two for one

Well, you are getting two posts in one night, because Waspgoddess posted the interview meme on her blog and I wanted to play. Feel free to join in. If you'd like to interviewed, leave your email address in a comment, and I'll send you five questions; then you post the answers on your blog.

Here are WG's questions and my answers:

1. Are you a morning or a night person?

NIGHT. I looove to sleep in and unplug the phone and turn down the answering machine volume all the way before turning in for the night. Every once in a while I randomly wake up at 7 am and go for a bike ride or something, but for the most part, I'm a complete night owl.

2. What's the best thing that happened to you this week?

This is a toughie. I met numerous dogs, including 12-week-old miniature schanuzer Max and a super-friendly golden retriever who bumped my nose with his rump (he was turning around in excited circles). But top kudos have to go to:

a) tonight's Strand trip, where I got 6 books at half-price.
b) getting a $92 refund check from New York State (totally unexpectedly).

3. If you had a superpower, what would it be, and why?

I'd love to be able to teleport, out of embarrassing or boring situations, and also as a travel substitute. Imagine closing your eyes and opening them in a new place, without an Amtrak ride or a plane journey...

4. Favourite ice cream flavour?

This is hard too. My favorite Ben & Jerry's is Chunky Monkey, but I like banana and pumpkin at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory here in New York. I guess since banana appears twice (Chunky Monkey is banana-based), that's my favorite. I also like peppermint stick on occasion. Oh, but I also like that oatmeal cookie Ben & Jerry flavor. It's pretty new.

5. What single thing would improve the quality of your life?

I wouldn't mind coming into a few million. I'm not a big spender, but I would like to pay off my law school loans. I wouldn't mind publishing a book, either!

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...

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.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
