9 Wierdo Traits.

Anali at Anali’s First Amendment tagged me to write 9 wierdo things I do. Here is my list, which I couldn’t have written without my co-author, Mindy, and her remarkable ability to become completely unhinged from reality.

  1. If there is a variety of food on my plate I eat my way from the top of the food pyramid to the bottom, beginning with sweets and oils and ending with breads and cereals.
  2. I have a collection of human teeth framed on my wall.
  3. When asked to housesit for my friends I make sure that they have the appropriate firmness toothbrush by rubbing it against the inside of my wrist.
  4. Instead of sleeping in a bed, each night I build a blanket fort and sleep inside that.
  5. My favorite bedtime snack is a buttermilk biscuit topped with mustard, jam, and Tabasco sauce.
  6. I cut holes in my bras so that my nipples poke through.
  7. I have sent 47.5 letters to Rainn Wilson begging him to leave his wife Holiday Reinhorn (what a great name) for me. He still hasn’t responded. But I am sure he will.
  8. I keep all my shoes in alphabetical order by first name.
  9. When asked to compile lists of unusual characteristics about myself I have been known to lie.

Good luck eating your way through the food pyramid this Thursday! I tag Ria at Stet and Adam at Higo Blog. And if your secret heart harbors a burning desire to air your wierdo traits on the virtual clothesline, consider yourself tagged!

Music Monday - Jerome Derathé, Arthur Russell, and Julien Cottereau

Music Monday is a little different this week because I am sick as a dog and need to sleep rather than be searching online. This clip is from France, directed by Jerome Derathé with
music by Arthur Russell. The actor/mime is Julien Cottereau. You can find more clips at http://www.kidam.net.

Diapers and a Pony.

No visit to the Tar Heel state is complete without a trip to Walmart for diapers and a pony (or not… at that price!).

I had a wonderful time (thank you Paul for your amazing cooking!) though there is no place like home. Somewhere along the way my body has become very sensitive to changes in my routine. Aargh.

( For those of you wondering if I am ever going to put up the Ghana website — I am!!! I am hoping to get it up over the Thanksgiving break).

Finished, thanks to TSA!
