A meme

[kelliem]

I've had several very annoying days at work so I'm in the mood to do something mindless for a few minutes, therefore you all are getting spammed with a ... A MEME!!! ::cue ominous music:: Gakked from scriggle.

Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up.
1. A platform for hanging stage lights
2. Bookshelves full of notebooks
3.Filing cabinets
4. The other wing of my building
5. Cthulhu. (No, seriously! He's on top of the shelf keeping watch over the financial report notebooks!)



- How do you style your hair?
It's short and sort of curly, so I fluff it up out of the shower and when it's almost dry, use a small amount of Kenra's Platinum Shaping Creme 7 to give it more body, then a light spray with their Volume Spray 25, and finally a hit of their Silkening Mist for shine. Why yes, I do like Kenra's hair products. ;D

- What are you wearing now?
Black jeans, a gray/black/brown/green floral surplice top, red kiltie mocs, and a dichroic glass pendant and earrings.

- What’s your occupation?
Program Assistant (aka office manager)

- Do you nap a lot?
No. Well, actually, if I am honest, more than I used to. To my embarrassment, these days I find myself falling asleep for about 15 minutes after dinner many evenings. ;D

- Who was the last person you hugged?
My son.

- What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
I kinda don't have one. Though I still feel nostalgic over many of my old ones, the closest thing I have to one these days is probably Alton Brown. ;D

- What was the last thing you ate today?
A blood orange.

- What books are on your to-read list?
A Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin (from my son) and any book I happen to see that interests me. I don't keep a list.

- What websites do you always visit when you go online?
LJ, local newspapers, CNN.com, news.bbc.co.uk,

- What was the last thing you bought?
Um, groceries. Other than groceries, it was some plastic storage bins.

- What are you listening to right now?
NPR All Things Considered.

- What do you think about before you go to bed at night?
Things I need to do.

- What was the last CD you bought?
Tallis: Lamentations, Motets, String Music (Thomas Tallis)

- What is your favourite weather, and why?
Fall, I love it when the plants stop pollenating. Also, I love the colors, the cool, crisp air, and the intense, cobalt-to-teal shadings of the fall twilight sky above the mountains.

- If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
A pennywhistle

- How are you?
Stressed and irritable.

- What’s something you'd like to say to someone right now?
"Try thinking of someone other than yourself every now and then."

(I misread this at first, and thought it said what would you like someone to say to YOU right now, and the answer to that was: "Here's $50,000.00.")

- What's one of your favorite movies?
Recent: Iron Man
Classic/Cult: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Not a meme person but love Cthulhu. Any chance of a couple of close-ups? I used to do some soft doll sculpture and remember those days fondly ... though not my crappy sewing machine. :)

Well, these are crappy cell-phone pix so I can't get a great close-up but here you go:





He was put out by Chaosium some years back, but I took a quick look at their website and it appears they no longer sell them.

(sorry about all the edits, I couldn't get my html right!)

He's SO cute. Thank you for going to all the trouble to display him from all angles. :)

Where's my workday Cthulhu?

All I got is a platypus.

That sounds like it should be on a t-shirt. "My Mom and Dad want to R'lyeh and all I got was this lousy platypus!"
