Dos Lunes

...or something. How do you pluralise "lunes" in Spanish anyway? Lunes? Luneses? Luneces? Eh...

This week's MM...

Using the letters in the word 'AUTUMN' describe your favorite season.

I don't have a favourite season, though I do sorta like spring and fall more than the other two; and I noticed it doesn't say you have to start your descriptive words with the letters in "autumn," or that you have to use them in any particular order, which leaves me a lot of latitude...

So my answer is: Not as hot as summer; not as cold as winter; just right.

Though I will say a little something about winter, though: You know those yahoos with the thumpy car stereos that you can hear all the way in Nepal? They tend to keep their windows shut when it's cold. Being stupid, they also tend to crack their cars up on the ice and snow, thus giving us a break from their noise.

And summer does produce a lot of lovely greenery of the type that you really can't see at any other time. If it weren't for the suffocating humidity and the marauding clouds of bugs, it'd be fantastic.

Anyway, here's the previous week's MM...

Name THREE of your........

1. Pet Peeves:
Car stereos, people who ask for my ASL in chat or IM, and stupid lyrics.

2. Favorite Sounds:
Silence, the boss telling us to go home, and the opening riff to "You Shook Me All Night Long." [There are songs I like better, but there's something primeval in the simplicity of that riff that I just love. The breakdown in the coda of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" is another example.]

3. Desk Items:
Pencil cup with metric-to-standard conversions, thesaurus, and guitar tuner.

4. Biggest Fears:
Loss of privacy, loss of security, nuclear war with North Korea

5. Biggest Challenges:
Getting housework done, keeping myself from screaming at or strangling my cow-workers, making myself eat vegetables

6. Newest 'Toys':
Um, I don't talk about those. ~blush~ Seriously, though, the vast majority of the stuff I've bought recently doesn't count as "toys," unless you consider glow-in-the-dark nail polish a toy. Let's see, the glowy nail polish, and some nice printer paper I bought that I didn't strictly need, and some stuff for a charm bracelet I'm making for my Halloween costume. Wild stuff, eh?

7. Most Used Words:
The, dammit, and why.

8. Most Mispelled Words:
That's tough, because I don't misspell stuff much unless I'm typing and I mix my letters up. But I've caught myself using the wrong "to" [I should get forty lashes with a barbed flog for that, too, because we learned "to, too and two" in second frigging grade]; I mistype "because" nearly every time; and every word that has a d and a c in it ends up with the d and the c transposed.

9. Favorite Disney Characters:
I don't like Disney anymore. My favourite movie as a kid [well, one of them] was The Secret of NIMH; but I watched it recently, and although it was nice for a stroll down memory lane, I couldn't even say I still liked it enough to pick three faves out of it.

10. Bookmarks on Your Homepage:
Yeah. There's all kinds of them. Look to the sidebar on the right on the index page.

This is getting long, I'm gonna have to move soon so I can have extended entries again.

same bitch time, same bitch channel...
