I always win

Skitzzee Mitzzee tagged me yesterday. Eight random facts or habits about yourself . Fack. Thanks Mitz. Since I did a version of this meme in January (see six weird things about me k thx bai), I'm going to refer you to that post, and add two things to it: I have a bad temper. I know, I'm a redhead. Total cliché. Today, I wanted to smash my radio when it played Daughtry. And as a pedestrian, I have been known to hit/kick cars that cut me off or nearly hit me. when it comes to alloy wheels, I like five-spoke the best. I'm not partial to three-spoke or even numbers. Let me illustrate with a selection of pictures!

There's too much open space, and my eye can't reconcile the three spokes and five bolts: Here is a 6-spoke wheel... from a 9-7X (the SUV that Saab doesn't sell in Europe). It l...

Last month, Riss tagged me with a meme. Yes, I'm just getting to it now. You may find it hard to believe, but it took a while for me to put together a list of six weird things about me . When I'm making a sandwich, the mustard cannot touch the cheese. I'm 6'4" but unless I hit my head on something, I usually go through the day not realizing how tall I am. I also "get the picture" when I see tall actors (like Tom Selleck, Vince Vaughn, or John Corbett) on television or in a movie dwarfing the people they're next to. I am terrified of submerged objects. The idea of a reef or a shoal is really scary to me. I grew up around water and know my way around a boat... perhaps it's a healthy fear. I find it extremely difficult to fall asleep without white noise (fan, air conditioner, etc.) and three pillows. (I'm a side-sleeper: one pillow goes under my head; the second underneath whatever arm is the upper arm; the third goes between my knees....

teh l4m3 tagged me with this même yesterday. Omigod! This must be what it feels like when Vanity Fair asks you to be in the "My Stuff" sidebar for their next issue! 1. body soap? Mostly bar; dependent upon season. In winter: something gentle, like Jergen's Mild. In summer: something hardcore, like Safeguard (I sweat like a pig when it's humid). If I have a date, I reach for my ~H 2 O+ Sea Salt Body Wash. 2. face wash? ~H 2 O+ Face Oasis Cleansing Water 3. shampoo? I alternate between four products: Citré Shine, ~H 2 O+ Sea Marine, Aveda Shampure, and Aveda Madder Root. 4. moisturizer? ~H 2 O+ Aquafirm Replenishing Night Cream, Neutrogena Intensified Day Moisture (you guessed it... one for night; one for day) 5. cologne? When worn, it's seasonal. In winter: Herrera for Men. In summer: Davidoff Cool Water (very rarely). 6. deodorant/anti-perspirant? Mitchum Sport Clear Gel anti-perspirant. Bring on the Alzheimer's. 7. toothpaste? Colgate Total 8. mouthwash? ...
