the 8 things meme proper

After much (well, okay some) consideration, in no particular order (despite the ordered lists):

8 Things I Am Passionate About

  1. My babies
  2. Don
  3. The view from my balcony
  4. Food
  5. Music (and dancing about my house)
  6. The detective/crime genre (books, dvds, I care not what medium)
  7. Baking (desserts and cakes and roasts and traditional anglo things and such)
  8. Learning (anything, I adore to learn stuff)

8 Things I Want to Do Before I Die

  1. Live well
  2. Own a boat (just a wee one, even a canoe would do)
  3. Travel regularly (and lots! and I don’t care where!)
  4. See my babies do well
  5. Buy lots of art (sculpture mostly)
  6. Own an awesome collection of mid century modern furniture
  7. Have my portrait painted (or be sculpted)
  8. Learn to play the guitar

8 Things I Say Often

  1. “Ohmigod….”
  2. “[list of things]….and such”
  3. “Totally!”
  4. “I can’t believe … well, I can believe, I really should stop saying I can’t believe things when I totally can believe them, anyway…”
  5. “I’m going to Italy!”
  6. “Awesome!” (often 3 and 6 are combined)
  7. “Ummmmmmm…….I have no idea what I was going to say.”
  8. “Holy Crap!”

8 Songs I Could Listen to Over and Over

  1. City Middle The National
  2. Goodnight Lover Fluke

I had rather a lot of trouble limiting it to 8 – these were just totally off the top of my head. In fact, I think a quite good blog project would be listing 64(82) songs I could (and have) listen(ed) to over and over.

  1. I’m liking her so much better than Agatha Christie. I really like how her style evolves from the 30’s to the 70’s. I think the later novels (say post-1950) are infinitely improved, but still quite like the 30’s ones – particularly I love the slang (I really need to adopt it for every day use).And, yes, Scales of Justice was rather awesome.
