Friday memes.

fridayfiver: Get up, stand up!

1. Turn your head to the right -- what do you see?

Scott's desk and computer, looking very clean and spare. I need to clean the rest of the room so we can actually move it over as planned, at some point....

2. Stand-up -- do you like how tall you are?

Yes. I'm short, but not unusually so, and hey, I'm used to it.

3. Do you believe in heaven or hell?

Heaven, some days, depending. I want to believe in it, but some days I wonder if this is all there is.

4. What is your favorite piece of jewelry?

My wedding ring, both for what it symbolizes and because I think it's really lovely. The necklace my grandmother gave me is a close second for the same reasons.

5. What is the last thing you took from someone else?

Depends on how you define 'took from'. I'm a bit befuddled like that. I suppose it would be the audio book I had a hold on and checked out at the library, though I have to give that one back eventually. (I'd say which audio book, but to be honest I do not recall at this moment!)

thefridayfive: That's Entertainment!

1. What is your all time favorite book?

Uh. How on earth do you pick just one?? I can't just run thru my collection and say this one, this one I love most. I suppose one of my longest-loved books is Zilpha Keatley Snyder's And All Between. Ironically, this is the middle book in a series, and I'm moderately indifferent to the other two (neither of which is at all necessary to enjoy AAB, in fact, I think it does better without them - but it does spoiler the first, of course). My newest favorites are Jim Butcher's Furies of Calderon and Academ's Fury - and boy do I want the sequel, which is out in hardcover and which I have a hold on at the library.

2. What is your all time favorite movie?

Hmm. This is easier, because most movies don't resonate with me strongly. It's still hard, though, because the ones that do all do. One of the Lord of the Rings movies, perhaps, though how to pick just one I don't know. The one I've liked the longest, I think, is Balto.

3. What are you reading right now?

I've been reading a collection of columns by Anna Quindlen, Living Out Loud. I also just finished re-reading Academ's Fury as well as Brandon Sanderson's Elantris (which I like, but not as well as I like his Mistborn), and I just ejected a couple audiobooks from the queue without finishing them and am about to start listening to the new one from the library that I don't remember what it is. We'll see how long it lasts!

4. What is your favorite show on tv?

I don't watch TV any more - like, at all. I find it takes too much time for too little reward (much like most movies) for me to stay focused and be happy with the time investment. I used to like the original Star Trek as well as Next Gen (and the first half of DS9, after which I stopped watching due to lack of time and wandered away).

5. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

I suppose that would be Cars, which we were curious about. I walked out maybe halfway through, wondering why I had not walked out a half-hour in instead. I really should have known better than to try it at all, all things considered, or at least to have brought a book with me for reading after I walked out and before it finished.
