Mission Missives

Me's Monday Mission 2.31

1. Ever considered just deleting your Blog and not doing it anymore? What prompted that and what stopped you?
Nope not once. All I ever have wanted to do is make it better. And post more often. And even, post better content. Hopefully I have something to keep folks coming back on days other than Monday. But I couldn't delete it, who would I talk to?

2. How about a quick review of the last movie you saw?
Well, in the theater it was "Minority Report" and you can read my review here (spoiler warning). On video, that would be "Rat Race" and it was kind of a wear-out. I was working on resumes and cover letters while it was on, so I didn't give it my full attention. But it had a lot of stars in it and a lot of tasteless jokes. I am all for tasteless jokes, but they were coming one after another after another and it was like ENOUGH ALREADY! I thought it was ok, with several laughs. But the ending seemed very corny and kind of like they didn't really know how to end it so they just made one up. Then it goes on for 5 minutes and essentially becomes a SmashMouth music video. Yeah we all need to hear "All-Star" again. If you have nothing better to watch, it would be a good thing to have on while you do something else.

3. What's your favorite gadget? Are you lusting for any new ones? Will you ever be satisified???

I am loving my Visor. I just got a GPS for it, and also a EyeModule2 (a camera). So I have been playing with those things. I want a color Visor (the Prisim), but I would settle for a laptop. (wink)

4. Saturday night I played "UNO" for the first time in years, I mean it has been over 10 years since I played it. It was great fun, but it really made me want to learn how to play Backgammon again. What "table game" do you enjoy playing most with other people? Have you played it lately?
Um, Uno. Backgammon. And yeah funny you should ask, I played Uno just last weekend.

5. About a year ago I was obsessed with loosing weight, and I dropped pretty low before I got a handle on things (I've actually gained about 8 pounds of it back, and it is still a struggle sometimes to not try to loose it). Thankfully, I like fattening sweets and buttery popcorn too much to live like that for too long. Have you ever been obsessed with something so much that it was close to causing you physical or mental harm? If not, have you known anyone else who has?

I've only known me regarding someone with an obsessive problem. Well and my Mom, she has her own set of issues, very bad OCD.

6. Did you grow up in a family or community that displayed racist or prejudice attitudes?  Did it influence you in any way, either toward or away from those views? How did you manage to avoid it, or did you?

And people wonder why I never do the Missions. It is because I do them as I am asking them, silly!

7. Good grief, I am starving! You got anything to eat around here?
I just had a juicy purple plumb!

BONUS: What did you tell them?
You mean when I saw your children? What did I tell them? Well, I had to tell them that, sadly, video had indeed killed the radio star. They took it well.
