2 Sunday Stealing Memes, and a Sunday Matinee

First of all, I would like to correct an age old mistake among mathematicians, people who add up things, world wide. It is alleged that  2 + 2 = 4, but, 2 + 2 = ∞ , in reality. Try it and see if it is not true. I have thought about this a lot. It's an OCD thing.  Twisted!  That's me!

Now, On to the real fun stuff!  

This was stolen from at least three different places! But the first place of all was HERE except that THIS place as staked a claim, too.

38: How did you spend Valentines day?
Sent an e card to my sweetie, thought about what I was thankful for, ate quite a bit of ginger chocolate with tea chasers, then took the dragon hunting, and I then got several vases of red roses from an event.  Yay!

39: Do you eat enough vegetables?
I eat mostly vegetables, and a little organic, ethically raised meat.  So, the answer is yes, I eat everything vegetable except I will not eat black eyed peas.  Yuck!

40: Do you like horror movies? How about thrillers?
I like Thrillers but not Horror films unless they are comical, like "Shaun of the Dead".

41: Do you like scotch?
I don't like scotch. UGH! What I like, and don't get to drink anymore, is wine, Gin and Tonics, and Golden Margaritas.

42: Who is someone you would never swear in front of?
Most of my friends. And never, EVER a policeman or a minister, priest, nun, or pastor, Imam or Rabbi. You get the picture. Besides, I really don't like to cuss. I really don't like to but sometimes I get ticked off!

43: Coolest thing you've ever seen on Halloween?
I never saw anything truly cool, but I'll tell you something that was a sort of the ugly trick part of Halloween.
One year, there was a couple who had a huge bowl of oatmeal on a darkened front porch. You could NOT see what it was, but they told the little kids to just dig right in. It was their TRICK for which they had no treat. They laughed so hard at us.
This happened when I was about 7 years old and still fairly innocent of the ways of certifiably insane adults.

44: If you could change your natural hair color, would you? To what?
My natural color was black, which I have tried with spectacular results and many compliments.  It made my eyes a cinnamon color.  So I might go back to that. But then, I might try absolutely snowy white, too, like Mrs. Claus.  Platinum Blonde is my true hair color.  You know, the one you have in dreams. lol

45: What subject would you take if you were forced to take a free class?
Upholstery, second semester.   This is so that I could use the awesome, monster, industrial sewing machines again.  I miss having one.

46: Do you use reusable grocery bags?
Yes, DH, who does all the grocery shopping, uses them 99% of the time.

47: City or nature person?
Nature person, without hesitation.

48: Have you ever used something other than "makeup" as makeup? (Like paint? Markers?)
Yes, I've used theatrical make up, or "grease" paint.

49: Do heights bother you?  Can you look look out the window on the top floor of a skyscraper?
No, heights don't bother me inside a building. Or an airplane. Height isn't what really makes people uncomfortable anyway. It's fear of falling. All humans have that fear. It's logical.  Eons have taught us this lesson.  It's in the bone.

50: Post 5 awesome things about your blog. BRAG AWAY!
The flower photos(1) and Accidental Art(2)  Also Music Monday(3), The Blood orange Marmalade(4) and my knitted socks (5)!

Sunday Cinema:
If you like horror thrillers you might like "The Gift".
Cate Blanchett has the starring role of a widow who is a Psychic.  She gives readings with some cards I've never seen before but of course now must have. lol

Whomever it was who created her character, Annabelle 'Annie' Wilson, really did their homework!  It is the best portrayal of what it is like to be Psychic that I've ever witnessed in a film.  Keanu Reeves plays a very scary, violent man, something he seems to do pretty well.  In the film he is so much filled with demonic tilth that I wonder what he's like for real?  Actually, I think he's a pretty nice guy.  I remember him, with great fondness, in "Parenthood".

This movie should be R rated, not kid friendly and very scary.  I think "I Shouldn't Be Alive" episodes would be just right for what you can watch after viewing this, just to calm down so you can sleep that night.

Sweet Dreams!

Here's More, I actually got in the first 20 at Sunday Stealing.

The blurb goes as follows:
"Today we ripped off a blogger named Paul Burgin from the blog Mars Hill. It is 20 questions, He says he got it from Paul Linford. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends!
