knitting, thumb-twiddling, yodeling, watching paint dry... drums, bass guitar, music, television/film technology and post production, the cleveland browns, movies, mixed drinks (though it seems I'm always too lazy to order or make one and wind up with beer), good, fresh food (mmmmmexican), throwing the basketball at the hoop with tricia even though neither of us are any good, going to see bands, rocking out on drums or bass, vicious and non-vicious animals (compelled to talk to squirrels and rabbits), the development of the world's finest razor, and... enjoying my 1.8 million dollar yacht off the coast of ibiza as I walk the deck in an open bathrobe before returning home to my solid gold mansion. that's it. that's all I'm interested in. there is nothing else. ever.
cute and cuddly? ...OR FORETELLER OF THE APOCALYPSE??
Pasta
rigatoni, farfalle, macaroni, penne, wagon wheels, large shells, ziti, lasagna, rotini... anything but spaghetti.
Musica
rock, indie, jazz, punk, metal. as long as it sucks, I like it. also, that version of "Jingle Bells" with the dogs barking is pretty cool...
Dear Abby,
Recently, my grandson came home with this strange metal box with sinister looking controls on it. I don't know what these young people are up to these days, but this says "death" on it and I'm afraid he may hurt himself or someone else with it. My husband bet me it's harmless. Is it? An early bird salisbury steak dinner is riding on your answer, Abby.
Sincerely, Billy's Grandma
