today's questions

[orangerful]

I had the brilliant idea to do my entry at work last night and then I couldn't get livejournal to work on our backroom computers. Best laid plans, yeah? Then I got home and ate too much pizza and died. Sad story but true. I think Tim is a bad eating influence on me as he manages to eat SO much more than me and not feel as icky afterwards so I keep eating and then I'm like OMG WHY DID I DO THAT?!

thekaiserchief asked what are some of your favorite CDs and why? -- That is a tough question! Here are the first few that pop into my mind:
The Beatles - Hard Day's Night -- I love every single song on here, plus it has "If I Fell" my all time favorite Beatles song.

John Mayer - Continuum -- despite my love/hate relationship with Mayer, the bastard can play guitar and every track on this album is solid.

Panic! at the Disco - Vices & Virtues -- the album that turned me into a fan, always on my "most played" list on iTunes. SO much fun to sing these songs at the top of my lungs.

Paramore - Brand New Eyes -- First Paramore album that came out that I bought so it got the most play as an album vs singles so I have a soft spot for it.

Sting - Ten Summoner's Tales -- My Mom is a Sting fan and I grew up listening to his albums and I totally bought them all on CD after I moved out. This is still his best one.

pleasant_valley asked What was your favorite toy as a child? -- This is a tough one too! Probably better to ask my Mom rather than me LOL. I'm gonna say my Star Wars action figures got a LOT of play time, so much that Princess Leia's head fell off at some point :( I also was famous for going outside with my basket and a dog that my Mom crocheted for me and playing Wizard of Oz. I always had a pile of stuffed toys on my bed - I was the kid who would fall out of bed because I was trying to make space for my toys to sleep. I do still have my Roger Rabbit doll because I loved that movie and I've loved my little talking Roger, even after his pull string busted.

Such geek adorableness about your Star Wars toys! I think my brother's Princess Leia's head came off too: manufacturing flaw? And I love the part about your stuffed animals. I had only a few but I loved my dolls to bits. And I didn't even know there was a Roger Rabbit doll!

LOL at Tim being a bad eating influence on you. I think Mike is like that for me, even though he doesn't mean to be. When we're at table eating dinner a lot of times I have a small portion and I'm done, but he's not done and I don't want to get up and be rude and leave the table before he's done, so I'll end up having seconds, too even though I know I shouldn't.

I love Continuum. I've got most of his albums.

YES! It's exactly the same for me! I've tried to make smaller portions but I think he is still hungry afterwards and ends up snacking, which is bad for him but at least I'm better at saying no to cookies LOL. :)

I didn't buy the latest album, but I think I have all of them before that. Wasn't thrilled with "Battle Studies" but I really liked "Born and Raised". But Continuum is my favorite so far. Just love all that guitar work.

Not me. Cookies are my weakness. Well, not cookies per se, but a particular brand of cookies.

The only ones I don't have are "Battle Studies" and his latest. I was actually surprised at how much I liked "Born and Raised." It's kind of a different sound than his other stuff, and is not really the type of music I usually listen to, but it's my favorite of his along with "Heavier Things."

"If I Fell" is definitely in my top ten Beatles songs. Oh, and I want a Roger Rabbit doll! :P

I love A Hard Day's Night too! It has some of my favorites--the titular track, If I Fell, and And I Love Her. :)
