So this really super awesome guy over at The Tome of Communism tagged me with a little 5 question meme, and here I am to answer. If y'all want to participate, just drop a request in comments and I'll get your questions in the ether pronto.
Grab your ankles and lets get this thing started.
1. Have you ever/would you want to have sex in the snow?
I have not, but I would so long as I didn't have to be on bottom. No one needs to see that kind of snow angel off my ass.
2. If you could share a house with one character from Pulp Fiction, who would it be and why?
No brainer - Mr. Marsellus Wallace - his house was amazing. And really, the options are limited. I make it a rule in life to not live with contract killers, dope peddlers, burned out boxers, or junkies.
3. It's 1957, and you have a choice to make: do you shoot John Lennon or Elvis Presley? You have to kill one of them, which will it be?
Considering that one of my "signs from above" to purchase my beautiful Cleopatra Jones was an Elvis song on the radio during the test drive, my choice is easy. I'd bust a cap in that pansy assed, Yoko loving, British warbler. Elvis is the only mother fucking option.
4. What is the sexiest part of a man? A woman?
The Mens: Ok, physically - I love a man with good legs. I like big thighs with good muscles and calves that match. Not those calves that look like snakes that swallowed a grapefruit, but the balanced ones. That shit right there is hot. I like good arms too. Some definition in the shoulders is nice. I love how strong men's arms can be. Mentally - confidence is smokin. Mind you I do not mean arrogance. Arrogance is loud and stupid, confidence is quiet and sexy. Confidence doesn't need to broadcast itself, it's an undercurrent.
The Womens: Physically - general shape. I can't bear stick figure females. I want to see some lusciousness and curves and softness. I cannot stand giraffe shaped coat hangers. I like Sarah Ramierez a lot. Mentally - I like a woman with attitude and spirit. A great sense of adventure and daring are important.
5. How drunk would you have to be/how much money would it cost for you to go streaking at the White House while on an official tour?
Sweet baby jesus... There is no amount of booze to make me do that. And the money? Upward of 10 million, plus the freedom afterward to enjoy it.

Snow January 2009
Last weekend there was a pretty big snow storm and everything around here has been covered in soft, fluffy flakes ever since. These shots were taken today, a week after the storm. A week of temperatures with a high of 24 has preserved everything pretty well.
So today I drove around for a little while and stopped at this little park that's about half way between my house and the office and pulled out the Cybershot and click until the battery died. It was clear and beautiful today, so I thought the light would be decent and I really needed to get out of the house.
The snow crunched as I walked around and there were a few moments when I could hear the river rushing below. When my battery finally died I took a seat at the top of the sledding hill and watched these little kids go flying down it at break-neck speed. You could hear the shrieks and laughter as they cut loose.
Hope y'all had a good day.

I Forgot
I've been angry since Thursday. Sounds, light, traffic, snow, wind, warm, sun, everything felt like I was being pricked with pins and needles. I have bitched about every single thing in the world to my dear friend Hitch. And Friday morning we were standing outside while she smoked and I looked at her and said that I knew how unbearable I had been, but I just couldn't figure out why I was so mad. I tried to think and she asked about different things trying to help me - which of course made me angry as well. Finally I looked at her and said I just didn't know, but that I had to figure it out.
We went back upstairs and started back in on our work. At 11:53 I looked at my calendar and it hit me, like the proverbial ton of bricks, what was wrong.
Friday was January 16. I think everyone knows that, it was rather obvious. The significance of this day, to me, you may not know. At 10:23 am on January 16, 1989, my father died. 20 years. 20 years without him. Every single year on January 16 at 10:23 in the morning something in me clicks. Every single year I can look at the clock at that moment without prompting or reminder. That is my moment to remember all of the parts of him that I choose to remember.
I forgot. I forgot that moment of remembering yesterday. That moment passed yesterday with no thought or love or memory of my father. That moment came and went with no recognition, I forgot. I did not remember. I did not honor my father or his memory in that moment, and I cannot bear it.
Something in me isn't right. I am out of balance here and I need to fix it.

Happy Holidays
Can you believe Christmas is here? I have no idea where 2008 went, but it's gone. I finally had a chance to sit down and write out my Christmas cards about 1 am Thursday morning, and I realized I didn't ask if anyone here might want one. I didn't send any out to anyone at all last year, so I'm improving. If anyone would like a card just email me your snail mail addy at poshpeasant@yahoo.com and I'll pop one in the mail. The cards are really cute this year! And don't worry, I don't have the time or energy to sign any of you up for the midget bondange and pony gear catalog, your addy is safe.

Give It Up
So it's like 7:30-ish in the morning and I can't go back to sleep so I pull out the latest edition of Real Simple magazine. I love this thing, it's usually full of useful information. Every month they ask readers a question on how they do something and then everyone writes in with what they do in situation x. Well, this month the question was "How do you give back during the holidays?"
There were lots of good answers, but one came from a blogger - Greenstyle Mom. Her answer to the question was that she does a charity-donation giveaway on her blog. Her readers tell the charities they like, and the one mentioned the most gets a cash donation from her. Excellent idea, right?
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
We here at the Daily Minute find this to be such an incredible idea that we are keifing it and making a little change. Because there are so many worthwhile charities that could use a shot in the arm this year I will choose the top three mentioned here and send each of them $1 for every time they receive a vote from you (up to $150 each). Some of the charities I love the most are Doctors without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, SPCA... These are only suggestions, by all means contribute your own ideas. So get to voting, tell me your charity, tell me why you love it, vote as often as you like, let's make this a huge success for the people who need some help. And if you can give this year I challenge you to do the same on your blog.
Ho ho ho, y'all.
