PromoGuy dot Net: Monday Mission 3.47
1. It is a lovely 21 degrees here in Oklahoma, and since walking in from the parking lot, I can’t seem to warm up. I’ve got the coffee to my right and the space heater to the left and the non-functional central heat blowing above me. What do you do to get warm when you are very cold? Cuddle up with a blanket, or if I’m at work, grab another sweatshirt. I’m almost always prepared for cold, since I almost always seem to *be* cold.
2. What is the first thing you do in the morning after you get up? Grumble about it, hit the snooze alarm. Or if I’m being responsible, use the restroom, turn on the news, and get dressed. Didn’t you want to know that?
3. I mentioned earlier in the week that Sub Hunt was one of the first arcade games I ever remember playing. Many years later I would become equally entranced by the Atatri 2600 (ugh, I am showing my age now, aren’t I?). Do you remember the very first video game you ever played (arcade, handheld, console, etc.)? What do you remember about that experience? I’m guessing that the first game I played was Asteroids in an arcade format, I think one of my friends had a game in their basement…either that or my cousin’s orange and grey Nintendo with Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. I was good at Duck Hunt.
4. Do you have a good memory or do you find that you need to write things down to remember them? I have a good memory once things have gotten into it…but I usually have to write things down to make sure that I’ve got everything taken care of.
5. I am currently really getting a kick out of the Citibank Citicard commercials about Identity theft, to the point of quoting them out loud (which no one gets, I really need new some geeky-er friends). What are some of your all-time favorite television commercials? Er. Commercials for movies I like? The Budweiser “Great Men of Genius” radio commercials are a favorite…M&Ms commercials, I guess…Commercials with good music always catch my eye (and my ear)…usually car commercials.
6. Since Thanksgiving is this week, I felt like I just had to throw in the obligatory food question, so here goes. Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving food that is made by one person, and no one makes it better? If not, then what is your favorite food to eat at Thanksgiving? (Those who don’t celebrate Thanksgiving feel free to insert your favorite fall food) Well, my grandmother and my mother both make chicken&dumplings with the same recipie but they don’t taste the same. Not that one is better than the other, just different. But I can’t make it like either of them can. And this isn’t really fall food, but no one can make egg rolls like my dad. And favorite food for thanksgiving is probably my grandma’s stuffing and real gravy. Whee tryptophan!
7. Wireless telephone companies will now let you move your cell number to another carrier, or move your land line number to your cell. Not only is this incredibly convenient, it forces cell phone companies to be more competitive. Are you planning to switch cell phone companies as a result of this new law, or possibly pit two companies against each other for a better deal? You mean on my non-existant cell phone? There are definitely times when I wish I had one, but it seems more trouble than it’s worth.
BONUS: Where? On a farm. In a day!
