The Friday Five #2
March 12, 2004 I feel like doing the Friday Five again, without having posted anything since last week's five, is a cop-out from doing what I had originally planned to do here. I suppose, though, that if it gets me to post something, it is better than nothing. I have been taking more pictures and posting them to my photoblog. If I can just get back into playing with my camera and writing more often, I will be happy. In the meantime, here is this Friday's Five:1. What was the last song you heard?
Try by Nelly Furtado.
I love the lyrics:
All I know / Is everything is not as it's sold / But the more I grow the less I know / And I have lived so many lives / Though I'm not old / And the more I see the less I grow / The fewer the seeds the more I sow / Then I see you standing there / Wanting more from me / And all I can do is try / Then I see you standing there / Wanting more from me / And all I can do is try / I wish I hadn't seen all the realness / And all the real people are really not real at all / The more I learn the more I cry / As I say goodbye to a way of life / I thought I had designed for me / Then I see you standing there / Wanting more from me / And all I can do is try / Then I see you standing there / I'm all I'll ever be / But all I can do is try / Try / All the moments that already passed / We'll try to go back and make them last / All of the things we want each other to be / We never will be, we never will be / And that's wonderful, and that's life / And that's you, baby / This is me, baby / And we are, we are, we are, we are / Free / In our love / We are free in our love
2. What were the last two movies you saw?
I watched most of The Hunt for Red October on Wednesday night, but I started falling asleep on the couch and had to go to bed. The last time I went to the theater to see a movie was last summer when Will and I took Lily to see Sea Biscuit. Lily feels that this is pathetic and that I need to get out to see more movies, but I am usually satisfied with waiting until they come out on video.
3. What were the last three things you purchased?
Well, Will and I purchased a new vacuum cleaner. Basically, I researched what I wanted and he brought it home for me. I now have a purple Dyson that really sucks. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Since Will's birthday was this week, the other two purchases that come to mind are the two dozen roses that I helped the girls to order for Will and a multi-player computer game that I thought Will would enjoy, Battlefield 1942. He is already addicted to Tribes II. I thought maybe it was time for some variety.
4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
There are too many things that I need to do this weekend. I suppose, if I whittle my list down to four things, I might actually accomplish one thing.
I need to clean the living room.
I need to clean the bathroom.
I need to go to church on Sunday.
Shoot! That's enough for two days.
5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
Since Will, Lily and Clara just walked in the door and we all exchanged greetings, that leaves me to ponder who else I have talked to recently. I apologized to Maggie when she barked at me to let her in the back door. Does chatting online with someone count? Will's brother, Paul, messaged me a bit ago asking what we were having for supper over here. He was having hot dogs and I was having Chinese leftovers. I guess he figured there wouldn't be enough leftovers to go around, so he stuck to his hot dog story.
