PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 2.40
1. I just got back from a family reunion. It was ok, but I find those
gatherings a little boring. Does your family ever have any reunions or annual
get-togethers? Do you enjoy them? It’s been so long since I’ve been to a family reunion. I think I was younger than ten the last time we had one. Of course, I have immediate family get-togethers probably four times a year.
2. A gal I work with told me that when her husband’s drivers licsence
comes up for renewal, she swipes it. She says he won’t ever pose for pictures
and that’s the only way she can get a photo of him. Is that not creepy? Are
you a picture person? Do you like taking photos, and having yours taken? My mom is a picture person. She takes pictures of everything, often in multiple. So I grew up having my picture taken. This is probably why I don’t remember my childhood; it’s all in pictures, so I don’t have to. I don’t mind having my picture taken, although I never seem to get the kind of pictures I’m hoping for.
3. Time for show and tell: post a recent photo of yourself! Ok, it’s not so recent, but it’s the only one I’ve got: 
It’s from ’97, my senior picture.
4. I have a cousin I always knew as Jay. As he got into college, he
began to go by Greg. Turns out is name was Greg, Junior. Jay was short for
Junior! Can’t blame him for changing it. Did you ever have a nick-name
growing up? How did it come about? Did you ever give anyone a nickname that
stuck? Well, if I ever played a sport I was Shew, cause there was inevitably another Jennifer.
5. Since I don’t have cable, a friend promised to send me a few
episodes of “Trading Spaces,” the show where folks redecorate someone else’s
home (and I’m still waaaaiiiting on that tape). But that got me to thinking
about how I’d change my own house if I were able. And the room I’d do first
would be the bathroom. If you could design the bathroom of your dreams, what
would it be like? Spare no expense! A bathroom? Hmm. Huge shower. Spa tub. Lots of storage space in the linen closet. A green toilet. 🙂
6. I’ve been trying to catch up on the early seasons of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer in re-runs, though I’ve been told to buy the DVDs. But I think
I’d rather borrow them if I could. But there are a few television shows I’d like
to own on DVD (like “The Flash” and “Max Headroom”). What shows (if any) do
you own in a video collection? What TV shows would you like to see collected on
DVD or video? Technically I own the Roswell shows, but I don’t think I could ever see them all. I have all of the first three seasons of Buffy thanks to FX and Alex, who taped them for me. I have the rest of the seasons on tape as well, but it’s anyone’s guess as to where they are. I also have both Roswell and seasons 5, 6, and whatever of 7 it has been on cd for watching on the comp. I’d like to have Roswell and Buffy on DVD, if they ever put out Roswell in the US, and Alias, 24, and Angel. Course, I suppose we have to get the damn dvd player first. Again.
7. I recently watched “Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang” again, first time
since I was little. It held up pretty well, unlike some movies that are better
in your memory than they are when you see them again (like “E.T.” good movie,
but for me, better as a memory). Do you have any favorite movies from your
childhood? Do you think you would still enjoy them if you watched them today? I bet I’d still like Robin Hood, the disney version, although technically the Prince of Thieves version was from childhood as well. I used to hate the part of the Wizard of Oz where they meet the witch; I think I’d be ok with that now 🙂 I used to love the Secret of Nimh, but I haven’t seen that in forever.
BONUS: Don’t you know you’re sleeping in a spotlight? Egad, that’s why I’ve been an insomniac lately.
