a little food.....a little music.....

i'm currently dining on that beloved buffet staple- three bean salad. (the good thing about the keyboard condom on this computer is that i don't have to worry about slopping something between the keys while i eat. i do miss the clicking sound the keys make as i pound them, though.) it's the basic version- wax beans, kidney beans, and good ol' green beans, with a few onion chunks doing the backstroke in a delightful vinaigrette. (which i have probably misspelled, from the looks of it.) i'm down with most variations on the basic recipe.....in fact there were only two exceptions. the first bastardized version featured lima beans, which i never have (nor ever will) liked, and the second, for some strange and horrible reason, replaced the vinegar with oil, which was just plain wrong.

since i'm trying to hold off on a much needed trip to the grocery store, i'm eating an unusual combination for the third night in a row- three bean salad (it's okay- i usually sleep alone, and it's common knowledge that girls can eat all the beans and broccoli they want without suffering any ill effects), some lemon pepper fish filets i found in the freezer (throw a little extra lemon pepper on there, and they taste just fine), a couple of hunks of cheese (a girl's gotta have her calcium, of course), and i believe dessert will be one of the pints of ben & jerry's chocolate fudge brownie lowfat frozen yogurt. (after all, "lowfat" means i can eat twice as much, right?)

okay- so maybe it's not that weird, but it's certainly a far cry from the smoked salmon quesadillas, tacos, or cheese-smothered chicken enchiladas (with homemade guacamole, of course) that i'd whip up if i had the energy and supplies. (i swear i don't eat mexican every night- just maybe 3 or 4 times a week.)

enough about food. i'm grabbing the baton from larry:

1. The person (or persons) who passed the baton to you.

uh, yeah- see above.

2. Total volume of music files on your computer.

errr....ahhh...my computer? none. i'm one of those old fashioned "cd" people.

3. The title and artist of the last CD you bought.

please, everyone knows djs don't have to buy cds! (just kidding- i still do.) the last one was - hang on, i have to look- the last one i bought was "show & tell" by silvertide.......the last ones i bought and have actually listened to are "discozone" by o-zone and "the duran duran tribute album"- the only two things i've ever purchased on ebay.

4. Song playing at the moment of writing.

i'm not listening to anything right now, though i have a couple of duran duran singles (from the second boxed set) and depeche mode remixes loaded into my cd player.

5. Five songs you have been listening to of late (or all-time favorites, or particularly personally meaningful songs)

five favorites: "take on me"- aha
"don't change"- inxs
"the reflex" (not the crappy remix version)- duran duran
"the promise"- when in rome
"fire woman"- the cult

6. The five unfortunate victims to whom you will afflict with this musical baton.

my tags generally go unanswered, so feel free to take up the baton if interested.

7. Super bonus question: Do you dance by yourself when you think no one is looking?

yes......that's the only acceptable time to work on my ill cabbage patch skills.
