I've been watching too much Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, so what I'd do would depend on how much protein the jailers were throwing my way.
Did you see the Halloween episode where he served his party guests Masai-style cattle blood cocktails? The idea does gross me out, but you know, the Masai have a very low rate of heart disease.

I cannot tell you how weird it is to see my journal title as the title of the Writer's Block for today. It's really messing me up! :D
That said, Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison calls to mind clubbing back when I wasn't TOO OLD TO BE IN THE CLUB.
(I'm not old, just too old to be in the club.) I don't particularly yearn for the past, though.

Writer's Block: Youthful Transgressions
Jul. 23rd, 2009 02:06 pm[Error: unknown template qotd] I. Regret. Nothing.
We learn from our experiences - especially those stemming from mistakes - if we're paying attention.
You know what's even worse? Regretting things you didn't do. I grew up hearing: "I should have done X." and "I really wish I'd done Y." Although... that probably prompted me to accomplish certain things so I wouldn't have similar regrets later.
Guess what? There is no rewind and I think dwelling on the past is a waste of a perfectly good present.
Dwelling on the negative is a waste of time too, but that's a post of its own. I feel it coming on, too.

Writer's Block: Place of Residence
Jun. 3rd, 2009 09:02 am[Error: unknown template qotd] In the middle of our street, with two cats in the yard. Life used to be so hard. Uhm... this is not my beautiful house. (But it would have tall windows like these to let in lots of light.) It would be romantic but not cluttered, and very airy. I'd have loads of bookcases and a balcony for having breakfast.
( With extra space for mah shoes... )

Writer's Block: Beautiful Vistas
Apr. 23rd, 2009 10:03 am[Error: unknown template qotd] As a little girl, I loved the film Heidi with Shirley Temple. The natural setting blew me away. I've been to many mountainous places, but never the Swiss Alps. I'd love to live in a cabin where one of these cows is standing and see this view every day. (Presumably there would be satellite internet available; I'm not a Luddite... just love hermit cabins nestled in the mountains.)
One of my favorite decor books. Mountain Interiors by Beate Wedekind (Taschen)

Writer's Block: Divided Self
Mar. 18th, 2009 10:18 am[Error: unknown template qotd] Yes. In "real life", I actually behave. (Dial it down a notch. Keep mouth shut. Retain job.)
No shrinking violet, but not a shrieking violet either. ETA: Is there a louder flower? Fuchsias?

Feb. 27th, 2009 09:16 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]Torchwood fandork. And the label applies to my two favorite characters, Captains Harkness and Hart.
Don't know why I bothered to answer this. It's startlingly obvious, unless... you don't watch Torchwood. ; )

ESFP The ONLY one at my workplace. ESFPs "love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun." And I do! Also, probably the personality type most likely to be cautioned by HR for doing that thing with the chopsticks. Sorry.

fajrdrako has analyzed the characters on Torchwood. Cool.
Joy! The lunch/post-lunch budget meetings were truncated due to lack of interest. And thank you, new Twitter buddies; I have learned how to make light sabers and am being followed by a pair of shorts.

Writer's Block: Peevish
Jan. 27th, 2009 08:15 am[Error: unknown template qotd] Negativity. Most of our lives are, if examined historically, pretty damned great. Honestly. Food? Check. Shelter? Check. Immunizations? Check. We women were even allowed - nay, encouraged - to go to school to make something of ourselves and we can vote. But hell, let's take it all for granted and complain about Starbucks mixing up that venti latte order. I really needed to hear your windy diatribe this morning, fellow cube farm denizen.
On that note, Harrison Ford icon is appropriate. I'm going skiing in J-Hole soon and it's reassuring that there's an action hero out there who actually rescues the stranded once in a while (even though some do boot in his chopper).

Writer's Block: Untimely Passing
Dec. 8th, 2008 02:02 pm[Error: unknown template qotd] John Belushi. I didn't believe that someone so alive could be gone. I think it hits hardest when funny people die young. With George Burns, I saw that one coming, even though he's God.
