Two things meme

Liberated from sasha_khan and adapted to suit my evil purposes....

1. What are two foods you might indulge in after a stressful day?
a. A piece of Toblerone dark chocolate heals many ills.
b. Grapes seem to be the after-work snack of choice these days.

2. Which two beverages do you find soothing and delicious?
a. Tea. Bigelow's green tea with lemon gets me through my work day. Twining's lemon ginger is the best throat soother ever. Earl Grey runs a very close third.
b. Strongbow hard cider

3. What two books do you re-read every once in awhile?
I used to reread books a LOT. Not as much anymore as I have discovered that life is short and the reading list goes on forever.
a. I come back to Sei Shonagon's The Pillow Book a bit.
b. I foresee a return to Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series or Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey-Maturin novels in the event the "to be read" pile  peters out.
 
4. What two movies can you watch over and over without getting bored of them?
a. Master and Commander.
b. Lawrence of Arabia.

5. What are your most comfortable articles of clothing?
a. There's a reason Hobbit painted me in that green cotehardie, though my others are just as comfy.
b. My black cargo pants. They are now two sizes too big on me, but I love them so....

6. Name two songs that give you comfort, or two songs that you never get tired of.
a. Etta James At Last.
b. Peter Gabriel In Your Eyes.

7. Lastly, what do you like to do to unwind after a hard day?
a. Crash out on the futon, reading or watching Adam and Jaymie try to blow something up.
b. I can't remember what b was, it's been so long.

Wrong on so many levels

I blame callistotoni. I HAD to Google "nativity bear."

It's been done. A lot.

At least in this one, the Son of Man is actually human. Son of Man. Not Son of Bear.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go use some Brillo on my brain now and say a decade of the rosary....
