Sunday Stealing: The Favorite Meme

Sunday, November 23, 2008

The folks at Sun­day Steal­ing rip off a meme from another blog­ger each Sun­day. They give full credit and a link back to that author’s site, of course — and invite every­one to play along.

This week, “The Favorite Meme” comes from Life’s Lit­tle Adven­tures.

The Favorites Meme

1. Polit­i­cal show: It’s a toss-up between The Daily Show and Real Time with Bill Maher. Both are bril­liant and allow me look at issues from dif­fer­ent angles while mak­ing me laugh.

2. Pic­nic food: I nei­ther camp nor pic­nic. But when I was forced to pic­nic as a child, I always enjoyed the mac­a­roni salad.

3. Mixed drink: Grey­hound (vodka and grape­fruit juice).

4. U.S. Pres­i­dent: I have great hope for Barack Obama’s presidency.

5. Kind of stu­dent to teach: Adults who are eager to acquire new infor­ma­tion that will help them per­form their duties more efficiently.

6. Hobby you do or wish you still did: I con­sider my musi­cal pur­suits to be my prime avo­ca­tion. Before mar­ry­ing and hav­ing chil­dren, I par­tic­i­pated in com­mu­nity and col­lege the­atre pro­duc­tions. I would love to do that again, but it is so time-consuming that I think it will have to wait until retirement.

7. Sports com­men­ta­tor: John Madden.

8. Sport to watch on TV: Ice skating.

9. Ani­mal to have as a pet: I’ve had dogs and cats over the years. Because I devel­oped aller­gies a few years ago, I can­not own a cat again. I can only co-exist with my dogs by tak­ing med­ica­tions for the aller­gies. So at this point, I would have to say dogs.

10. Hal­loween cos­tume you have worn: Clown.

11. Kind of dessert: Right now, the only dessert that comes to mind is pump­kin pie.

12. Comic strip: I really don’t have a favorite.

13. Ice cream fla­vor: Jamoca almond fudge.

14. News source: The Inter­net. I never buy mag­a­zines or news­pa­pers. I just read lots of dif­fer­ent peri­od­i­cals online.

15. Vaca­tion spot: Hawaii.

16. Wine: White Zinfandel.

17. Way to waste time instead of work­ing: Memes like this one.

18. Real­ity show: Project Run­way or Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style. I adore Tim Gunn.

19. Chil­drens movie: Sleep­ing Beauty.

20. Celebrity you wish would retire: There are so many to choose from, but the one that comes to mind is Tom Arnold. I was channel-surfing yes­ter­day and actu­ally found him host­ing a real­ity show about “red­neck” wed­dings. No joke. I watched about two min­utes in com­plete dis­be­lief. It was actu­ally inspir­ing, though. It inspired me to turn the tele­vi­sion off and do some­thing pro­duc­tive with my time.

Iced tea and apple pie are my favorite pic­nic food. I wel­come U.S. Pres­i­dent Obama with an open heart and mind. I do believe that he will suc­ceed if every­one would help even in small ways. My drink when I want to skulk away from a bor­ing party–Zombie. I don’t know what’s in it but I’d really feel like a zom­bie next morn­ing (so I avoided going to bor­ing par­ties). I don’t like tv but I some­times watch Super­nat­ural and Ghost­whis­perer. I like Ms. Hewitt’s incred­i­bly long lashes. Thank you for let­ting me share my per­sonal memes. :)

Inter­est­ing post, but I didn’t like that jab at Tom Arnold. I think he’s a lov­able char­ac­ter, and I hope he never retires (or when he does, it’s the Grim Reaper who retires him, not of his own will).

I agree that The Daily Show and Real­time are both polit­cal com­edy shows but they are quite dif­fer­ent in for­mat and perspective.

I agree with “casas rurales en zamora”. They both have dif­fer­ent for­mat in point of same polit­i­cal com­edy show.I love daily show the most
