Friday Five, Six, Seven ...? (m)
1) What book(s) are you currently reading? "Skipping Christmas" by John Grisham, and "The Wind Done Gone" by Alice Randall
2) Do you mostly have painted walls or wallpapered ones in your home? A mixture of both. My living/dining room has 'wainscoting' part of the way up the walls with a delicate flowered wallpaper on two of the walls with faux painting on the other two. My kitchen is WP with border. The rest is mostly faux with stencils, borders, etc. I'm hoping to re-wallpaper and re-faux my livingroom this Christmas, and I'm going to add a semi-mural of a fence. I just need to decide what kind of flowers I'm going to have cascading around and over the fence.
3) When was the last time that you went to the theater? Last summer.
What movie did you see? "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" with George Clooney. Talk about funny! (We have a dinner theater here, we went to see, "Sleeping With Grandpa.")
4) What is your favorite fruit? Toss up between apples and bananas.
5) Picking one famous writer (dead or living), who would you like to have dinner with? Patricia Cornwell. Did you see the special on ABC last night? She's spent four million dollars researching and investigating the "Jack, the Ripper" case. She says she's one hundred per cent sure she knows who did it. Very interesting!
My five...
1) What book(s) are you currently reading?
"I just got a puppy, now what do I do?" - I call it research for a kids story about getting a dog. But really I'm enjoying it for myself. I love dogs.
2) Do you mostly have painted walls or wallpapered ones in your home?
Painted.
3) When was the last time that you went to the theater? What movie did you see?
Last week Monday I saw Harry Potter. First theater movie in about four months.
4) What is your favorite fruit?
Just one? Mandarin oranges, because you can only get them in November and December.
5) Picking one famous writer (dead or living), who would you like to have dinner with?
Just one? (is there an echo in here?) RobertMunschKevinHenkesRudyardKiplingElizabethBergandIcouldgoon... :)
Your home decor sounds wonderful! Mine is boring white (rental) (n/t)
My five
1) What book(s) are you currently reading?
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror (12th ed.), and *ahem* Investing for Dummies. Also a couple of interviewing/job search things (titles and authors kind of slip my mind) when I get the energy for them.
2) Do you mostly have painted walls or wallpapered ones in your home?
The only walls that don't have wallpaper are the ones in the living room and the hallway.
3) When was the last time that you went to the theater? What movie did you see?
It was a couple of months ago. Saw Planet of the Apes. Well, tried to anyway. The couple sitting a few seats down decided to bring a preschooler who alternated between bawling (practically screaming any time the movie got loud, which it often did) and running up and down the first two (mostly empty) aisles. Add in the mother's "Shh" sounds every five minutes, toss in a couple of loud kissing smack sounds every time the child asked loudly for a kiss, and it all added up to a very long two hours or so.
I'll have to rent the movie to make sure I saw it.
4) What is your favorite fruit?
I like cherries.
5) Picking one famous writer (dead or living), who would you like to have dinner with?
It'd probably have to be Clive Barker.
clive ---cool choice - did you ever read the young adult book he wrote? (m)
I can't remember the name of it - I loved it. I haven't read anything of his lately - need to add his stuff to me "To Read" list!!!

Books - Man of Words by N. Scott Momaday. (I am also on a magazine kick at the moment)
