Time to try this meme...

Hmm. Was that insightful, or pointless?

Nobody said I couldn't do footnotes!

[1] My dream cars are all from fiction. I said the Torchwood car (affectionately called the Jackmobile by most, for all it has "Torchwood" written all over it), but I could have said the black car Ray drives in Stingray, or one of Lex Luthor's fancy sports cars, or - stretching the definition of a car - the TARDIS.

[2] Said only because I went to see Casion Royale, of course. I saw it with maaseru, maaboroshi and Sarah, so that would be a more honest answer. It's also that James Bond is high in my esteem right now, for obvious reasons.

[3] Also known in the U.S. as MI-5. I want to see this.

[4] I bought a new telephone yesterday at Future Shop. Today I programmed it and its answering machine. It felt like an accomplishment.

[5] A few years back the Ottawa Little Theatre mounted a production of this play, which I worked on as crew. The back of the shirt has the royal Plantagenet lion and the name of the play. The front has the old OLT logo.

[6] I could say windy, or foggy, or any number of things, but autumn weather seems to encompass most of the weather I enjoy. Good walking weather.

[7] Because I have to finish editing a story and I'm writing this instead. Back to the story in moments. Really.

[8] If there's a way to say that in one word, I can't think of it. I guess I could have said 'sitting' or 'typing'.

Love your answer to #2 - I should have said that!

I should have said "Kinnie" for favourite drink. Huh.

#9 - yes.

#12 - "Solvent" is good. Me too.

#15 - I almost gave this answer. Almost!

What's medlar jelly?

#29 - why not rant?

Re: 2. However, he'll admit to being somewhere between 45 and 50: intelligent, charming, and with a good body, if somewhat scarred. ;-D

Medlar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medlar) jelly is spreadable heaven in a jam-jar. It is truly the jam of the gods. It is especially good on wholemeal toast or on proper muffins. It's up there with rose-petal jam and quince jam (the chunky, non-jelly sort). Apparently, it is appreciated in Piedmont, but then that is a paradisical region for so many reasons!

Re. 29: I'm trying to deploy my arguments coherently in this chapter, and not rant against the writers I hate. Not even Scott and Shelby. I have to behave myself!

Medlar jelly - well, now I know! I never heard of it before. I wonder if I can find it in our stores. Maybe an Italian import shop - I have one just down the street.

Such self-restraint! You are quite right, of course. I think what I would do in your place is rant to my heart's content, and then cut the ranting from the final draft.

British import would do just as well: Wilkin & Sons Ltd Tiptree Medlar Jelly.

I do my rants on LJ and Yahoo!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, LJ and Yahoo! are the proper place for rants.

British food sometimes turns up in our grocery stores, at an extortionate price. I'll do some browsing.
