I am probably the last human on earth to see this, but just in case you haven't, I present to you the most amazing thing since Whiplash the burrito-delivering rodeo monkey:

Monkey on a Goat on a Cup on a Tightrope!

Relationship advice for the modern woman from Mr. Brown:

When he asks you do you love him, smile and kiss his cheek.
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak.
Don't let nobody take care your business better than you do,
Do what he wants, give what he wants, respect will come to you.

As long as we're painting scenes here, imagine a small costal town on a bright summer's day. (Well, imagine Portland, Maine if that helps.) Down by the water, there's a nice breeze, an old lighthouse, and a lobster boat is anchored nearby, blaring this song for everyone taking in the picturesque sunset.We owe that lobsterman a debt of gratitude.



I shall paint MY picture with rouge and mascara!

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?

working at the library, shacked up with my now husband, partying like it was 1999, nothing terribly memorable...

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today? 

Play with the ILLiad interface and make a viewlet tutorial for patrons. (Don't ask)
Get the bathroom curtains out of the dryer and hang them back up. (No more free shows.)
Pay some billz online.  (I haz creditors!)
Shampoo one or more dogs. (See if this improves the fragrance of the house.)
Fix the missing nose piece on my sunglasses.  (The sun... it BURNS!)

3) Snacks I enjoy:

Hostess donettes (all varieties), Fudge-sickles, white grapes, Ben & Jerry's Marsha Marsha Marshmallow, white cheddar Cheez Nips, actual cheese

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Offer to donate a million dollars to the public library if my boss will put my name over and over all the way around the cornice.  (selfish)  Buy my parents farm to stop the urban creep from consuming it and set up a trust so it could be a farm for homeless horses. (maybe a little selfish)  Buy my husband a supercar. (selfish on behalf of another)  Quit my job so I could get Willow certified as a therapy dog and we could drive around visiting nursing homes giving out hugs and dog love.  (also kinda selfish)  Get me one of those space-age, computer-controlled, green technology houses.  (totally selfish, Note to self:  See if Dean Kamen's pad is for sale.)  Set up something like the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to award independent research grants to medical researchers.  (totally altruistic) Get falling down drunk on all the continents-- and a number of islands. (selfish again)

5) Places I have lived:

Let's just say that they are all in Arkansas.  'Nuff said.

6) Jobs I have had:

grocery store cashier, retail floral sales & customer service, ballerina, seamstress for children's theater, fireman, switchboard at answering service, university art department secretary, university art gallery secretary, ambassador to Burundi, restaurant hostess, university interim gallery director, art history lecturer at 2 universities, rock star, state corporation franchise tax clerk, government documents collection clerk, library genealogy assistant, reference desk grunt, river boat captain, public computer instructor at a public library, staff training coordinator at a public library.  (OK!  Some of these maybe only happened in my head.)

7) Bloggers I am tagging who I will enjoy getting to know better (but not in a creepy way):

I am usually loathe to tag people, but I'm going out on a limb here.  You can hate on me if you want to, but please do answer!
