Day 19 ** A talent of yours
Oh god. Is there anything?
Well, I'm rather good at trivia, especially movie trivia. As you would be aware that I'm in the process of proving. Currently at one thousand three hundred and thirtieth place. I'm not going to make number one by Christmas because tomorrow will be all about family and sweet making. But I'll definitely make it by the new year.
What's the movie? When asked by a waiter "Would you like to hear today's specials?" The main character replies: "Not if you want to keep your spleen"?
Godfather
American Psycho

*lol* That would be American Psycho. And not just cos it's one of my favourite lines from one of my favourite movies.

That would be Robert Neville. And I'm still not touching this film with a ten foot barge pole.

Mind you, I'm pretty sure I'm only good at trivia when given multiple choices. When I have to pick the answer out of blank air, then I get all manner of crossed wires and scrambled frequencies and frequently want to kick myself for getting the answers so spectacularly wrong.

The Aunt has a new laptop, all set up by moi. Well, what little setting up laptops require in these days of highly intuitive everything. And yay it is fully embracing of the YouTube which means my original plan has been restored. Only I can't start it today because the festivities start tomorrow. So a few more days and then right into it.
Plan being: wake up, write as much as possible, then reward myself with a Jer film on YouTube. Every day. Unless we have stupid guests over. Hopefully by the time my birthday rolls around, I'll have another forty thousand words down. *crosses fingers*
We went shopping today. My spoils: one silk dress. Two tops with a third to be picked up when they get my size in. Three pairs of shoes. Two bracelets. And an ornate wrist cuff. Pix to come cos they're all to be worn over these seasonal festivities.
*sigh* I just want Jer films. That's all I want.
