Have I mentioned that I love Thinkgeek? Here are five cool things that illustrate what I’m talking about.

1. SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet – I really want one of these.

2. Bag of Holding – I could use a new messenger bag.

3. DaysAgo Refrigerator Timer – Dead useful.

4. Ultimate Survival Kit in a Water Bottle and Survival Kit in a Sardine Can – Aren’t these cool?

Well, it’s my birthday on Sunday and folk have been asking me what the heck I want. So…here’s a quick list of five to answer that question:

1. Clothes:Size 6 Converse (non-high top), Levi’s 501s 32/29, pretty tops
2. iTunes Gift Cards: Any denomination
3. Supernatural Season 2 DVD set
4. A video camera
5. Some spa thingy: manicure, pedicure, facial, etc.

It October, so here is a quick list of some of the random things I’m afraid of.

1. Bridges
2. Ghosts
3. Realistic dolls
4. Small spaces
5. Black Widow Spiders

Just for some added “laugh at me” value, I will also add five things I do not like at all:

1. Ants
2. Sticky
3. Crowds
4. Loud noise
5. Being unable to get away from input I’d rather avoid.

Sorry that I’ve been away, folks. My computer keeps dying on me. (grrrrr.) So, here’s a quick “Five Things” to catch you up to speed.

Five Things I’ve Done This Week:
1. Went for a drive and ended up in Fort Bragg, CA.

Hello again all. This Friday (which I had off…work tomorrow, though, sad to say) I have been surfing YouTube. Such a productive activity, I know. But it did allow me to come up with a double helping of Five Things this time around. That’s right, this week I’m looking at YouTube videos. The first set of five is Fan-Made Doctor Who Music Videos. The second set is Five Normal Music Videos. Do you have a favorite YouTube video? Feel free to comment and put me wise. And…enjoy!

1. Doctor Who – Fractals (A Doctor Who Fan Music Video by midcirclenine set to Placebo’s Running Up That Hill)

2. Judgement Day – Jamie (A Doctor Who Fan Music Video by VanielDonovan set to “Judgement Day.”)

3. What If This Storm Ends ? – Snow Patrol (A Doctor Who Fan Music Video by analeian set to What if this Storm Ends? by Snow Patrol)

4. Scattered (Tenth Doctor) (A Doctor Who Fan Music Video by di0br set to “Map of the Problematique” by Muse)

Okay. So, once again it’s technically Saturday at this point, but at least that means I’m covered for NaBloPoMo for Saturday. (I will be away from my computer for a day or so, so it’s best to get this in when I can.) In light of my reality check the other day I thought that this week’s version of “Five Things” would focus on health. Specifically…

Five Healthy Things I’ve Done In the Last Day:

1. I went to bed early. – All I can imagine is that my body needs to get used to going to bed early. I had trouble falling asleep. Ah well. Could that be why I woke up to the theme from “Earth Girls are Easy” playing in my head?
2. Drank water and juice. – I drank a bottle and a half of water and a yummy juice smoothie.
3. Took a walk. – I even managed to find a route that was the same length as my break.
4. I relaxed. – Okay, I relaxed by going to the cinema with friends. That counts, yes?
5. Took my vitamins. – I’m told that Folic Acid is important.

And speaking of health…I’m off to bed now.

Well, it’s a bit late in the day, but it’s still Friday at this point. For today’s Five Things on Friday I’m thinking about Comfort Foods. You know. You have a bad day or it’s cold and wet outside and all you can think about is getting home and eating your favorite comforting meal. What are your comfort foods? (If you want to post your own Five Comfort Foods on your blog, please comment and let me know so that I can stop by and see what you have to say.) Oh! And I have Koshvader’s answers, too, this week. I love it when he joins in.

Five Comfort Foods:
(Me)
1. Mundane – So…now you know why I chose to make it the other day.
2. Miso Soup – Not just any miso soup, mind. True comfort comes from good miso soup.
3. Tea & Crumpets – Tea alone being the ultimate comfort drink, of course. Add crumpets and you have a small meal of comfort.
4. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches & Tomato Soup – This is a pretty popular comfort combination. I will state here though, that the cheese must not be American Cheese. Bleh.
5. Poached Egg on Toast – Just typing that makes me want some. I blame my Nana. She used to make it for me when I visited.
(Koshvader)
1. Chocolate Mousse
2. Tom Kha Gai
3. Hot & Sour Soup
4. Prime Rib
5. Chocolate Cream Pie

Five Things on Friday

Oops! I’ve got a cold and I up and forgot about Five Things being a Friday thing. So…for this week it’s a Saturday thing, ’cause I said so. This week I’m looking at things that I’ve been putting off. If you want to play too, please comment and let me know. What things have you been putting off?

Five Things I’ve Been Putting Off:
1. Update our passports – If I want to go to Scotland again some day, I’ll really need to get on this.
2. Get rid of my Health Rider – It’s taking up space in my front room and I can’t use it because of my wrists.
3. Find a new dentist – Well…duh.
4. Get the tires in the shed recycled – I could really use that space.
5. Get Organized – Everyone has some form of this on their list. For me, it means getting of my lazy bum and putting things away/recycling/cleaning out those spots in which stuff you don’t use lurks. Also, it could include cleaning out my email inbox, working my way through all of the pictures on my hard drive, and getting together my emergency information.
