friday five, take seven

yeah, it has been awhile, but as today is the first low-impact workday in a few weeks, let’s celebrate with a little friday five action.

1. What was the last TV show you watched?
You know, that is a funny question for this week (See Question 2), but the last TV show I watched was Tuesday night’s episode of the Jack Bauer Power Hour aka 24. Due to unfortunate circumstances (See Question 2), this was not watched at home, but rather at a neighbor’s apartment.

2. What was the last thing you complained about?
I probably complain every morning when I have to get out of bed, or when I’m cut off in traffic, but my last big complaint was directed at the fine people responsible for my satellite television service. Why? Well, it magically and mysteriously stopped receiving a signal eight days ago. Just like that. Poof. It might be because of the growing foliage on the surrounding trees, but we’re talking leaves here, not bricks. Anyway. They’ll be out to visit me in the morning, convinced to do so without charge by a polite threat to ditch the service and go back to cable.

3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
A co-worker. He made the wise decision to not drop two grand on a laptop as an impulse buy. “Smart move,” I said.

4. What was the last thing you threw away?
An empty cup from Roly Poly.

5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
As unexciting as it may be, it was techbargains.com… hey, who doesn’t like a good deal?

okay. your turn.

    #1. That would have to be American Idol on Tuesday night. Shows you how much TV I actually watch these days.

    #2. Having to take antibiotics AGAIN for a rather persistent infection – yeah TMI – but it’s really annoying

    #3. I complimented a rather good looking boy on his rather lovely physique.

    #4. My take out Chinese Food container from lunch.

    #5. Television Without Pity recappy goodness.

    1) West Wing. And it was quite good.

    2) Our stuff isn’t working here at work AGAIN. It’s perpetual. I dont know if it qualifies as complaining anymore as it’s become something of a joke.

    3) Coworker. She has a neat new bag.

    4) I dont think a company site that isn’t working counts. I checked my email.

    I noticed I can’t count. 4 is actually 5. For 4, I’d have to say I threw away a post it note.
