As seen here.

Here are 100 films spanning nearly 100 years. Mark them as PARTLY (if you’ve seen parts but not enough to say “yeah, I’ve seen that”), SEEN (feel free to add +/- for liked/didn’t like it), FAVE (would watch it repeatedly) or QUEUED (if you would like to or intend to see it, via Netflix for example).

As you’ll see, my “old movie” viewing is seriously lacking.

ETA: Interesting. Rand somehow took this quiz while we were eating breakfast together. I wonder how that happened…can anyone enlighten me?

Punctuation is my friend

I just took the Eats, Shoots and Leaves punctuation quiz. I am a 92% stickler. I was almost at 100%, but I wavered on one of the commas. 😉

Guess this is why I teach English, huh?

Five things

Posted on by

Okay, here are five things you might not know about me. Tagged by LadyTurpentine.

This is hard. 😛

1. I knew how to read when I started kindergarten. I sensed that this was not typical, and so pretended that I didn’t know how to read. I apparently successfully convinced my teacher, because the only part of this story I remembered was that Mrs. M didn’t believe I could read. My mom reminded me of the rest.

Me: Mrs. M didn’t believe that I knew how to read.

My mom: That’s because you pretended you couldn’t read.

2.  I played a parrot in my Girl Scout play when I was in middle school. I later used the costume (multi-colored streamers glued to…something…and a beak) in a Halloween costume contest and won an honorable mention. They called me a “paper chicken.”

3.  The first record I remember buying was the 45 of “Eye in the Sky” by the Alan Parsons Project.

4. When I was in high school, my aunt (who lived in California at the time) married a man who had a son who was my age. When I was a sophomore, they moved back to Pennsylvania and lived with my grandparents for a while. My aunt’s stepson was my first real kiss. (ew) At the end of that year, he went back to California to live with his mom, and I have never seen or heard from him again.

5. My freshman year of college, I took an acting class. I had to perform a scene from “A View from the Bridge” in which I had the line, “Teach me, Rodolfo. I don’t know anything. Teach me.” After my partner and I had finished the scene, my somewhat pervy professor asked me to explain what I meant by “teach me”. I was 18, shy, and utterly mortified. I’m pretty sure my response was, “um……um…well, you know.”

You’re it. Leave a comment if you answer!

My name

Logo There are:
2
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?
This has been making the rounds, so I decided to give it a go. There are NO people with my name, spelled as I spell it. I did it again, spelling my last name in its original Italian incarnation. (there’s an “i” at the end instead of an “e”) That came up with two. As I guessed, I do not have a very common name. 😉

I saw something like this a while back, but was unable to log in. But today, via A Word in Your Ear:

Erm…ok. I did another one, with a glasses-on photo.

I’ve been told I look like a lot of famous people. None of them are on either of these collages. 😉 I’ll save them for another post…
