What do men find romantic?

Today on MSN there is an interesting article called What Do Men Find Romantic?. I was pleasntly surprised by what I read. Men, do you agree with this article?

It is common knowledge that men have well confused the female population over this issue for quite some time.
For example, this last summer Carlene and I had a conversation with two guys about what is romantic and what isn't. We were quite surprised that we didn't agree on a few issues. One is the following:
Moonlight shining across the Puget Sound- Romantic. Guy makes comment that it's as romantic as a light shinning on a pan of black oil- not romantic.

Here are a few other romantic VS not romantic examples Carlene and I came up with. Men, please feel free to give your imput.

The guy gets you flowers- romantic. He volunteers you to do lots of yard work for old people- not romantic

Takes you to a haunted house around halloween- romantic. Takes a concealed weapon- not romantic

Writes a song for you on his guitar- romantic. The song is super cheesy (Ronald McDonald cheesy)- not romantic.

He tells you you look like a movie star- romantic. It's an elderly movie star- not romantic.

He buys you clothes- romantic. It's 6 sizes too big- not romantic.

Door step kiss- romantic. Swallows your head or teeths you- not romantic.

Takes you fishing- romantic. Yells at you for scaring the fish away- not romantic

Smiles at you from across the room- romantic. Up close he has lettuce hanging from his front teeth- not romantic.

Keep your cell number

Starting today, you can now keep your cell number when switching carriers. However, I won't be first in line to make the change. There is a good chance that there will be some glitches day one.

Jackson. Guilty or Innocent?

It appears that Michael Jackson has found himself in yet another pickle.

I'm the sort of person who likes to believe a person is innocent, but I also despise the idea of a person getting away with bad stuff just because their a celebrity.

What do you think, guilty or innocent?

The season is rolling in

Over the last week I have been overwhelmed with the holiday sale ads, the scent of mulberry and cinnamon, seeing people put up holiday lights, working on holiday crafts with my family and dreaming up holiday parties. Up until now, I've been able to control my holiday excitement, but today the final straw was plucked from my pile. This morning on the 2news channel, they had Kurt Bestor perform some of his beautiful holiday music.

I don't think I can hold back any longer. I might have to allow this holiday season to overexcite me and cause me to go shopping. Oooo ~shiver~

Thomas Hardy & Eoin Colfer

I recently finished Thomas Hardy's "Jude The Obscure". It's about a boy named Jude and this is his life story. He meets up with some troublesome gals, and his life is miserable until the end (when he dies). This was the last novel Hardy wrote, and it was quite scandalous. I personally despised the novel.

I also just finished Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. As Colfer puts it, it's "Die Hard with fairies". It's quite good and I highly suggest reading this. If you like Harry Potter, I'm sure you'll really enjoy this book.

This evening I'm chilling with my brother who already burned one pizza in the oven, now he's working on burning the second. He calls it "cajun style" and he's trying to get me to eat it. Of course, you can't expect much from him, it's a family thing. My sister burns popcorn all the time, and actually convinced her kids that the best is the burnt stuff. Now they all fight for the chared pieces. These aren't old kids, the ages are 5-16. Yes, we're a family of evil dooers.

Entertainment at Work

Do you ever have those days at work where you feel as though you're going to fall asleep, or perhaps you feel as though there is a tickle at the back of your neck that is telling you run up and down the hall with your arms waving madly screaming "Their coming to take me away"?

Well, don't answer that. Here are a few mind distracting bits of goodness. Consider it a bit of dancing magic for your eyes. Sit back, turn up the music and enjoy.
