Labor Day Weekend Meme: At This Very Moment
Category: Memes...
Posted Monday, September 04, 2006 at 09:25 PM [GMT-6]

Two memes within one week should not be considered a trend, but my other Kiwi blogger pal, Catez over at Allthings2all, tagged me for this one and since there's still a few hours left in the Labor Day weekend I figured, why not?

At this very moment...

1. Are you craving anything and if so, what?

Having just finished a dinner consisting of pot stickers (pork), crunchy rolls (with plenty of wasabi) and spring rolls, followed by a big ol' piece of turtle cake topped with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, I'd have to say that all I'm craving is an easy chair and some elastic-waisted sweat pants.

2. What is the weather outside, and do you wish it would change?

It's been raining steadily for at least 18 hours and I wouldn't change a thing. (You just have to live in the desert to understand.) Man, but it's sweet, even if you have to deal with a dog who equates falling rain with 50-cal. tracers aimed at a target attached to her rearend.

3. What two websites do you think you will go to next after you are finished here?

Both of them are client sites, because I've been putting off the updates they emailed me earlier in the weekend. I'm running out of excuses.

4. Do you wish you were somewhere else and if so, where?

I'd like to be biking the trail that runs from Frisco, Colorado, to Vail, on our recumbent tandem with my wife in the back. And as long as I'm wishing, I'd then wish for someone to come to Vail and ferry us back to Frisco, because I'm not sure I could survive pedaling the return trip.

5. Do you wish you were someone else, and if so, who?

Well, this is an interesting question, and I'm not sure many people really think through the implications of their answers. And I'd really need some better groundrules before committing to anything. For example, if I became someone else, would I still be me? I mean, what's the point of becoming, say, Hillary Clinton, if you had to actually become Hillary Clinton, you know? It would be much more fun if you could become Hillary Clinton, but still be yourself -- you know, a sane person with reasonable ideas, for example -- and in the position of being able to wreak some serious havoc on an entire political party. Now that would be cool.

Otherwise, I guess I'd like to be the AFLAC duck.

I think I'm supposed to tag a few folks for this, but since we're just about out of Labor Day, I'll take the weasly way out and just say that if you want to carry it on, feel free to do so.

AFLAC.
