also applies to potential spouses

These career criteria are also applied towards potential mates...particularly in the practicality of the ratings. I remember my mom once told me she would like for my sister and I to marry a mechanic and a carpenter. Unfortunately for her, neither of us married someone in either of those professions. =)

my Thanksgiving meal...

vkm — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:07:37 -0800

Thanksgiving dinner is my single most favorite meal of the year...my plate consists of equal portions of turkey (dark meat!), mashed potatoes, stuffing, and rice all absolutely drenched in turkey gravy.

Yummmm......I can't wait 'til Thursday. =)

Rubik's cube

I think the best I ever did was to get 3 sides matched, but I could never get it all finished...although if it meant that I would win the lottery, I might have tried harder! =)

I don't know why. The woman in frame one reminds me of JN. No?

good to see you!

I finally got my DN account back up to speed. Glancing through the articles, I was surprised to see you here! Good job! 2 eprops! heh.

All this time, I thought those were all really Japanese...

Thanks

This website has some decent articles but your journal is the one that keeps me coming back. Great sense of humor.

I remember watching those shows. How many were there anyway? In Japan, their TV series last for a specific number of episodes, with a defined story line and ending. I vaguely remember there being sequels to this show. Something like Shadow Warriors 2, 3, etc. Anyway, they were very dramatic, had great fight scenes, and heroic characters...and best of all - subtitled! =)

An unexpected twist.

Hi Neal, I'm catching up on your comic strip. Several made me smile; others grimace, but this one was LOL funny.

Where can I get a Hapusad doll? =)

memory problems

vkm — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:21:54 -0700

I seem to have similar problems remembering things. My short-term memory tends to be pretty sad, and I don't know that my long-term memory is that much better. Although, my memory lapses also seems to be selective...I just wish that I had some choice in what gets selected. I am particularlybad with dates, names, places,...basic details. I'm much better with concepts and stories.

I've tried all of those, but the one I can do best is the sudoku. I like karaoke, but I think I enjoy singing more than others enjoy my singing. =)

Actually, lately I've been addicted to kakuro puzzles. They're number puzzles like sudoku, but require math (simple addition) in order to determine what numbers to put in.

haven't seen it

vkm — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 11:18:37 -0700

I've never actually seen "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I keep hearing it's such a wonderful movie, but I keep remembering a clip that I've seen with Mickey Rooney from it and it keeps me from seeing it.
