50 Book Challenge

I just bailed on the 50 book challenge community. Too much traffic, too many people whom I didn't know (and thus whose recommendations and reviews weren't as weighty for me).

Great idea in general, but got too out of hand for me.

It'd be greatly improved if people would confine themselves to doing a once-per-month update.

Book Swap

Brynda (from the SDMB) strongly encouraged me to run another book swap. I'm up for it. This time, I believe I will have people do a one-to-one swap, so the person you send to will be the one to send to you. That will be a little more, I dunno, intimate isn't the word I am looking for...

So I'll post a thread in MPSIMS soon, I guess.y

Because Mondays are More Fun When You Post to Your Journal Constantly

I like Sophie's "Survey in pieces"

3. How much do you love your job? Tons. Would never leave, if they had a place for me the rest of my days. I wish I could work part-time though.

17. Favourite food? Pasta.

22. Croutons or bacon bits? Bacon bits. Little nuggets of salty, red-dye-#2 goodness.

33. Preferred type of ice cream? Caramel Praline Pecan

39. How many times did you fail your drivers test? None. It was a miracle. I hated practicing and was reluctant to learn to drive.

42. Which single store would you choose to max out your credit card? Call me lowbrow, but Target. I could get so much stuff there. A portable DVD player, a gas grill, jeans, a year's supply of diapers for my expectant friend, XBox games, a new vacuum cleaner, patio furniture, leather clogs, more legos, etc. Target is my friend.

44. Name the person that you are friends with who lives the farthest? Hmm, that'd probably be Myris who lives in Turkey right now. Her husband is in the Army. He took this last posting in Turkey because it's known to be fairly low-key and easy, with normal hours and lots of family time. You can imagine how THAT worked out with the Iran thing heating up.

45. Annoying things people ask you all the time? When are you going to clean up your office??
