Thursday Thunks!

Welcome to the August 13th version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Kimber, the number 4812 and the color of storm clouds.

1. Hypothetical question- you are in a building with famous works of art, old manuscripts of famous novels, and original sheet music fromfamous composers. The building is on fire and looks to be completely destroyed. Do you grab any of the famous works before fleeing, and if so what? no, that would be stealing but if the manager/owner asked me to carry something out for her/him. i would and give it to him/her outside.

2. In August 1969, the Manson family went on a 2 night killing spree. Do you think 40 years later they have paid for their crimes? no.

3. Power Outage! What's the longest you have been without power? 4 freezing days around one new year/s. that is when you discover the value of having 2 fondu pots, one for soup and one for hot water for tea! and o, the joy of flannel sheets, a duvet, and a down filled jacket.

4. Just bought a new tazer gun. Will you let it be tested it on you to see if it works, and how it feels to be tazered? no. and i didn't "just bought it" and "him" can take it right back to the store he got it from!

5. A neighbor's mail was delivered to you. In it is a magazine not wrapped in plastic. Is it ok for you to flip through it before giving it to the neighbor? Do you tell them you looked through it? i don't think.

6. If I went through your purse/wallet right now, what all would I find in there? i've not one single clue. i know the keys are not in there because "him" has lost his again and "borrowed" mine...for a week now.

7. Have you been living under a rock? no, there are worms and things under there! yuck!

8. Tell us something crazy you did this week. i am not crazy, i just look this way. other than that, talk to the hand.

in the mail

in the mail, i got the cd version of carrie fisher's book, wishful drinking, and a hard copy of michelle paver's book oath breaker. these were from my lovely, loving friend, mimosa.

and my picture arrived. you know the one, ballooning by robin maria pedrero.

first things first. i have to thank royal reviews for this book. after you read what she posted, you will understand why i wanted it. go here to read it. and, while you are there, look to see what else she has up for giveaway! she has good taste in books. well, i think so. could be because she reviews so many of the books i like!
