Me as an M&M

It's me as an M&M! Create one on your own

Where in the world is Ron R?

Adoring fans are anxiously awaiting the results of the Oscar Pool and the tie breaker cannot be resolved until I hear from Ron R. All of the entries to my Oscar Pool were received from friends except the entry received from Ron R. I don't have an email address to contact Ron and am just anxiously awaiting and email from him with his tie breaker guess.

So Ron R, where are you?

Oscar Pool Results

I had a total of 4 entries in my Oscar Pool! :-) So one would think with only 4 entries that there would be a clear winner but alas, we have a tie. The entries received from Ron R and Don each had 8 correct guesses.

I have been trying to figure out a fair tie-breaker for the last 36 hours. I considered a movie trivia question but then thought there was no fun in that because the answer could be googled fairly easily. I then considered a question about my personal movie favorites but then thought that I was surely giving Don and unfair advantage because he knows me (perhaps Ron R knows me but I am not sure). So I have decided to settle it by choosing a number between 1 and 10.

I have taken a post-it note here on my desk and written down my selection. I request that Ron R and Don each select a number (between 1 and 10) and send it to me via email at jewellsinsea@clearwire.net or via AIM at jewellsinsea. Whomever is closest wins the prize, but both will receive full glory for their correct responses when I post the official winner and all of the results later today!

Good luck!

QotD: Ghost Writer

Vox Question of the Day: If you could write like one fiction author, who would it be?

I have always wanted to be able to write suspenseful creative tales.  I love to read a book when I am surprised by the next step for the characters or plot.  I would love to be able to pen tales like Patricia Cornwell or J.K. Rowling but think that by the time I actually finish a book it will be much more in the Chick-Lit genre and the stylings of Jennifer Weiner.

QotD: First Celebrity Crush

Vox Question of the day: Who was your first celebrity crush?

It would have been Tom Wopat as Luke Duke in the Dukes of Hazard TV Series. I dreamed of jumping through the window of the General Lee and riding off into the sunset together. Ah, to be 10 again!

Years later (1991) after the crush had faded a bit I saw him in an off-Broadway production and was totally impressed. He is a great talent.

QotD: Best Day

Vox Question of the Day: What is your favorite day of the week?

Well I think that I would normally say Saturday. However lately my Saturdays have consisted of early mornings, labs, midterms and allergy attacks. It's kinda ruined Saturday for me. Once this final class is over I will be loving Saturdays again but until then my favorite is Sunday.

QotD: But It Tastes SO Good!

Vox Question of the Day: What are your favorite weird food combinations?

My favorite weird food combination is adding plain M&M's to my popcorn at the movie theater. It's best when the popcorn is super buttery and warm so it melts in the inside of the M&M's.

Funny label

I found this label very funny tonight, maybe because it says Tip N Grind.

Wombat Warning

Hmmm... Makes me wonder if my brother Dave is near.
