Johno didn't tag me, the bastard, but its been eating away at my brain and so here is my sevens thing, for your edification and (hopefully) amusement:
Seven things to do before I die:
- Found and operate a bookstore/bar named the "First Federal Bar, Grill and Seminar.
- Get a novel or non-fiction book published.
- Jump out of an airplane.
- Become curmudgeonly.
- Become the all-being, master of time, space and dimension.
- Then go to Europe.
- Walk on the moon.
Seven things I cannot do:
- Play basketball.
- Bake Bread.
- Focus.
- Remember what I'm supposed to do without a list.
- Fly.
- Paint.
- Sing.
Seven things that attract me to my best friend:
- I am not so judgmental that I would put one friend above another.
Seven things I say most often:
- “Just a minute!”
- “What?”
- “That's weird” (this is only at work)

Did Heinlein also right a book called Dune, or did you mean Herbert's?
Oop. I'll correct that,
Oop. I'll correct that, thanks. Herbert, Heinlein, whatever.
Herbert, Heinlein, whatever??
Herbert, Heinlein, whatever???????
Dude, they are worlds apart.
I have to agree on movies 8, 11, and 12. I could watch those over and over again (as well as Iron Giant and The Incredibles).
Interested in multiplayer online Civ IV yet?
JohnL, I've watched 8,11,13
JohnL, I've watched 8,11,13 and 14 at least fifty times each. 8 and 14 probably over a hundred times each. The Pixar flicks are getting up there, too - two year olds have absolutely no problem with endless repetition.
And yes, I am more or less ready for online Civ.
Anyone else, email me, and we'll set that bad boy up.
