I’ve been tagged… again…

Three guesses who…

Anyhow…

Accent: I have none. I really don’t. Somehow I’m on the losing end of this argument. Dawn (and the whole daft lot from the other side of the pond from the female persuation… at least those I know) seem to think I have a ’sexy’ Canadian accent. I hate the sound of my voice. Bah. Still, ironically, the lot at work notice a UK twang. Bizarre. Must be Dawn’s influence to get me to say aluminum aluminium. Luckily I’m not speaking in that Gods awful Yorkshire dialect.

Breakfast or No Breakfast: Coffee. Seven cups to get up, and four more for breakfast. Nothing solid. Reader’s discretion as to whether or not that constitutes breakfast.

Chore I don’t care for: All of them? Cat litter changing is on the top of my list.

Dog or Cat: Well, we have a slut and a demon posing as two felines. Other cats I have had include a dedicated hunter, an instrument of war, and a ball of neurosis. Only had one dog (at three… for one day). Cats definitely, they have way more personality.

Essential Electronics: Macintosh, iPod, mobile phone, Canon Digital Rebel XT, Sony Playstation 2.

Favorite Cologne: AXE Effect Essence (it really DOES work… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Gold or Silver: Gold is worth more, so Aurum.

Handbag I carry most often: My lunch bag. I’m a guy. I’m not meterosexual. Hence, no fashionable handbag.

Insomnia: Not lately. Work takes enough of the mickey outta me to keep me that wired.

Job Title: Officially… courier. Unofficially… peon/slave/fuel. Soon to be back to Electrician/Film Geek Extrodinaire.

Kids: Two piles of fluff that pass themselves off as cats named Tara and Adina. Nothing human though.

Living Arrangements: Barely. Low cost 1-bedroom apartment with Dawn, living 2 bridges away from work. Blech.

Most Admirable Trait: My intellect. I can think my way through (or out of) virtually anything.

Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Too many to think of just one. Pompous winner, sore loser, dirty hockey player, violent golfing temper, arrogance, obsessing about superiority, and so on.

Overnight hospital stays: Last one when I had my appendix removed (at age 11). 23 years ago. Even when I had my knee worked on it was same day. I’m hoping to avoid these for a long time.

Phobias: Falling from height, my own mortality, being normal, being average.

Quote: Since you tagged me babe, you frakking asked for this:

“The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but…
[very long pause]… sometimes it’s too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question “Why?” Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed and spite, jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we’ve done, like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play God, create life. And when that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn’t our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you’ve created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can’t hide from the things that you’ve done anymore.”

Commander William Adama

Reason to smile: Dawn, film calls, Leaf losses, Man U. losses.

Siblings: None biologically, though a bro and a sis out there (you know who you are).

Time I wake up: 5:00 AM, right at the crack of stupid. Though I’ve been getting up at 4:00 AM lately, and can’t settle after.

Unusual Talent or Skill: Again too many to mention just one. Complex mental arithmetic. Three dimensional visualization. Ear wiggling. Ability to make my cats come to me when they are called. Deep and comprehensive trivial and factual memory.

Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, mushy peas.

Worst Habit: Cracking every bone in my body in front of Dawn.

X-rays: Too many. Last set was my chest to examine the effects of smoking (I was a smoker… three and a half years smoke free now) on my lungs. I wonder which causes more cancer… the smoke or the X-Ray?

Yummy Stuff: Oreo Blizzards, fresh Italian Pasta, an unburnt risotto.

Zoo Animal I Like Most: Kimodo Dragon.

As for tags, well, I just don’t do tags. I tend to tag the wrong people. If you do it, comment back to let me know you have.

Twisted Filler Tuesdays v1.0

Needless to say, I haven’t had much to say lately. Well, on here. I seem to have a lot to say. It just lately tends to stay in rants out in ‘the real world’, and rarely makes it’s way to the absolutes of the digital realm. Meh. Today is one of those days. So, from now on (well, until I tire of it), Tuesdays will now be Twisted Filler Tuesdays. And, as such, a Meh-me, originally stolen from someone by Dawn. Her one main rule was NOT to copy her answers. Spoilsport. Well, on with it.

1. Name something you use in the shower?
Hmmm, well I can’t use shampoo, as Dawn took it already (cripes my hair is going to get disgusting), so I suppose soap, but the soap is useless unless there is water to emulsify the soap.

2. Name something a football player wears under his uniform?
Wow. How gender biased. What an assumption that women can’t play footy alongside men. But a player can wear shin pads under the socks of their uniform.

3. Name something people hate to find on their windshield.
A parking ticket. Unless I’m working. Then I don’t care. Work covers parking tickets for me while I’m on the clock. One of the very few perks.

4. Name something a man might buy before a date?
Petrol. Flowers were taken by Dawn.

5. What’s another word for blemish?
Well, when referring to the cereberally inert world, a blemish would have to be ‘better than a slap in the face’. Don’t believe me? Check this out.

6. Something you’d cook in the microwave?
Definitely not a cat. I’d never dream of it. However, someone did. That’s why there’s a warning in your microwave manual that you shouldn’t cook your pet in the microwave oven. However, popcorn is quite tasty.

7. Name a piece of furniture people need help moving.
A Steinway Grand Piano.

8. Name a reason a younger man might like an older woman?
Actually, I have three. One, they are into Cougars. Two, they are into MILF’s. Three, they were involved in the CFOX Buck Hunt.

9. Name something a dog does that embarrasses its owner.
I don’t know much about dogs, but CATS have this urge to sit on one’s privates.

10. Name a kind of test you cannot study for.
PHYS 114 (wait, that would explain my grade). Maybe and electrocardiogram?

11. Name something a boy scout gets a badge for?
Scout badge embroidery?

12. Name a phrase with the word ‘Home’ in it?
You Can’t Go Home Again. Oh wait. That’s a Battlestar Galactica episode.

13. Name a sport where players lose teeth?
Well, since Dawn took hockey, I pick something from her side of the pond. Hurling.

14. Name something a teacher can do to ruin a student’s day?
Make the boy genius of the class the ‘Teacher’s Pet’ in a public announcement at recess.

15. What is a way you can tell someone has been crying?
Tears running down their face? Duh.

16. Name something found under a car?
A pool of engine oil.

17. Name a bird you wouldn’t want to eat?
Any bird named Spears, Richie, Hilton, Lohan, and the like. And they say pigeons are swimming in disease.

18. Name something that gets folded?
Seven high in Texas Hold’em.

19. Name what happened to this question?
It was copied from Dawn’s blog, bolded, and answered.

20. Name something that gets smaller the more you use it?
[looks down his pants] well thankfully not that. A pencil, for sure though, does.

If you decide to steal this and do it, please link back.

That is all.

Holiday filler

Because the better half won’t let me out of it…

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Since egg nog makes me want to hurl, it will have to be hot chocolate. Though probably after my manditory 7 cups of coffee first.

2. Does Santa wrap the presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa, the anagram for Satan, who in Christian mythology is simply a fallen angel, uses presents to buy the souls of little children to do his nefarious bidding against the many, contrary faiths around the planet. And since I’m far from Christian, Satan simply does not visit, as my soul is far more educated.

3. Coloured or white lights? White lights diffused with colour correction gels propped with C-stands and loads of beach.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No. Dawn doesn’t need that plant for motivation.

5. When do you put your decorations up? I don’t. Dawn does, and I can’t help her. She’s determined to decorate the tree herself. However, when we get bigger digs, I’ll have my own, seperate tree when we get bigger digs, and will be a tribute to the birth of Mithra, to which the current celebration of Christmas is copied from.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Mmmm… sweet Stella Artois.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Hmmm. Probably any time we went skiing in and around that holiday. SKIING!!!!

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? At school, some kids a few years older decided to dispell the myth (which I was already very wary of, as it made no logical sense) to have my reaction be their amusement. Yet more cementing of the sheer fact Christianity is so wrong.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Not really. My cousins opened one gift, which was pyjamas, on Christmas Eve, but that was it.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? When I have my own, probably with pentacles, dragons, and pagan iconography.

11. Snow: Love it or hate it? DUH! SKIING!!!!!!!!!

12. Can you ice skate? Years of playing hockey? You decide.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Offhand no. My parents did have a good read on me though. Most gifts hit the mark.

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Family. It’s what it’s always been about. The whole Christ thing never factored into it.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? More beer.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Well, the obvious which I’m trying to re-kindle. SKIING!!!!!!

17. What is on top of your tree? Dawn’s tree, a gold star. When I get mine, I dunno. Maybe a mock-up of a Viper Mark II. Yep, I’m a dork.

18. Which do you like best giving or receiving? I’d like the resources to give more, so ask me when that’s the case.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Don’t go for the whole caroling thing. For movies, can’t beat The Nightmare Before Christmas. Also like the Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special.

20. Do you like candy canes? Not really. Always found them too sticky to eat.

21. Snowman or Snow Angel?? Snowman. Anatomically correct, for that.

Birthday Meh-me
