  • Interview With A Beadbrat

    Beadbrat2

        Beadbrat, (pictured above), fellow Xangan, friend, superwoman extrordinaire and lover of all things chocolate, has interviewed me with the following questions.  I am much obliged as (1) my head is just as empty as the day is long, and (2) the colors of the last post were making me nauseous.

        So here goes:

    1. If there was no Dylan (banish the thought) who would be your music idol?

        Gawd.  Music is EVERYTHING and my music idols are LEGION, so I dunno.  Just off the top of my head, guess I’d like to play the guitar like Jonny Lang, play the piano like Floyd Cramer, be able to sing like Norah Roberts, and look like Emmylou Harris.  Or wait!  Maybe I’d rather sing like Aaron Neville and look like Mac Davis.  This question is too hard.  Let’s move on......

    2. I remember you saying you didn't always live in the country , after so many years at Toad Hall, could you go back to city life...???

        I LOVED living in the city/cities!  Loved it/them beyond Zebra!  But now my greatest wish is to be able to take care of Toad Hall until the day I die.  And I hope to kick off right here at home -- preferably while gazing out the bay window at Lin’s paradise on the hill.

    3. If you weren't a feather duster, what household tool would you be? LOL

        Um.......a toaster, hands down!  Gawd -- I dunno.  Speaking as a former Emu, who wants to be a household tool, anyway?  But hey!  If I were aspiring to a  workshop  tool, then I’d rather be a hammer than a nail.  (insert image of Simon & Garfunkel here)

    4. Aside from offspring, what is your proudest moment?

        That’s easy!  The day I decided I’d enjoyed as much of Bozo the Clown as I could stand.

    5. What characteristic about you doesn't come through over xanga ? Are you glad or sad about that?

        I have incredibly goofy-looking toenails.  So it’s pretty much a glad thing for everyone, I think, that toenail photos are not required.


        Okay.  Now I’m supposed to say “It’s your turn to play,” and invite y’all to ask me to interview you.  If you wanna.  So anybody who’s up for that, lemme know.

  • I like the disclaimer

    RYC: Keen remark you made, I hadn't seen it that way yet.  Probably because one is fresh to us, while the other is forgotten in the centuries passed.

  • #1 is the easiest--My Uncle Justus.  He could down one beer and then do "The Stars and Stripes Forever" in one burp.

  • In honor of you, I attempted to buy a feather duster today. Wal-mart was sold out. But that's o.k., dusting is a wonderful activity to postpone...

  • Glad my favorite feather duster is back among the living.

    My noggin likewise has a Prine-esque empty thang going on. I'm stuck for an entry idea. Interview away! I'm up for it.

    "Xanga Weekly With Your Host Fifi O'Toole" hmmm... look out, Barbara Bailey!

  • I can't believe you people dust. Haven't you learned to simply not touch the dust? No touchy, no fingerprints, no one notices.
    Jeez.
    Kukki stays until next Wednesday, or 11 days all together. A very doable visit. Nati stayed for 5 weeks and spoke not a word of English. THAT was hard.
    I'm keeping TK and his family in my thoughts for whatever my mojo is worth.

  • ryc

    I didn't lose anything *you* gave me Feef!
    (all the stuff you gave me was made out of durable latex)

  • LOL... love love love it... though the Bozo thing just kinda scares me!! As far as the household thing... I think I would end up being the garbage dispaosal... they all just give me their left over everything! LOL... Sorry I wasn't around in a more timely fashion...

    re the curtains... I don't change them every season in every room, but I, like my late Nana, love to change things around the house... If I had a couple more rooms I would change rooms from place to place too... Like switch the dining and living rooms with the warm/cold weather... plus it is incentive to clean better....

  • RYC: LOL, I'll pass your comment to my friends in Ohio.  Hahaha.

  • ryc: There is a college division, but only a handful of colleges participate.  However, this year one of the colleges sent a team of senior citizens who had recently returned to school to earn their degrees.  It was pretty cool.

  • Since everything revolves around me,I am naturally assuming you are referring to this Lin's window. Apologies to any other Lins with a large window that live at the base of two hills.

    Even if you weren't referring to me, dear, I do think it a kingdom. However, I am but a serf. Cricket is Queen and I must do her bidding or be punished by the random placement of underwear around the kitchen when she's mad. She really loves to chew on bras.

    So glad you are BAAA-ACCCKKK!

  • RYC: I am SO not ahead of you with Potter! "Phoenix" is book FIVE,dear. I am behind.

  • Just stopping by to start your week with a hello :)
